As far as AI is concerned, you don't need to go anywhere near as specialised as FAI to find something where logical uncertainty is directly applicable.
Every search problem in AI is an instance of logical uncertainty, and every search algorithm is a different way of attempting to deal with that uncertainty.
This is why I think logical uncertainty is a "dual use" problem, rather than an FAI problem. Lack of a deep understanding of the nature of logical uncertainty could be holding up a lot of AI progress, and I'm not sure why people aren't more concerned about this.
