Epistemic Autonomy in Models of Living Systems

This paper 1 discusses ontological implications of embodied AI for Arti-cial Life models. The importance of robotic systems for ALife lies in the fact that they are not purely formal models and thus have to address issues of semantic adaptation and epistemic autonomy, which means the system's own ability to decide upon the validity of measurements. Epistemic autonomy in artiicial systems is a d...
