Yes, that is the history of the term. AI assumed
that we needed to get something in our machines
that served for them the same role that human
knowledge (or maybe belief) serves (or so it is
thought) for us humans. To encode that stuff in a
machine requires that it be 'represented' in some
way. Hence 'knowledge' + 'representation'. (02)

Well, AI has never been as sensitive as
philosophers have been about the distinction
between knowledge and belief, perhaps because AI
has never shared philosophy's traditional concern
with certitude. (04)
