Practical Development of Creative Life-Saving Artificial Intelligence

The Artificial Life Roots of Artificial Intelligence

• Traditional AI focuses on higher-order cognitive activity like expert problem solving. • Subgroup stress embodied intelligence artificial life (also Bottom-Up AI, Animat approach, Behavior-based AI, Animal Robotics). • Aim of paper: review the approach and identify major unresolved issues. Delineating the field: The Subject Matter • The study of behavior. • Focus: what makes behavior intellig...

Towards an approximation of life - artificial intelligence in games development

Within the field of games development, artificial intelligence (AI) and artificial life are used to improve the ‘lifelike’ qualities of characters. Today, leading edge techniques in artificial life simulation for games are beginning to contribute to the search for consciousness through speech, the construction of memory and even the ability to respond emotionally to the way games are played. Re...

Artificial Life and Natural Intelligence

This paper reviews the neuroscience literature to sculpt a view of intelligence from the artificial life (ALife) perspective. Three key themes are used to motivate a journey down the low road to cognition. First, the origins of brain structures and dynamics exhibit considerable emergence at phylogenic, epigenetic, and ontogenetic levels. Second, ALife complexity measures have interesting parall...

Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life – should artificial systems have rights?

The defining features of intelligence, consciousness and life are not clearly prescribed. We cannot say of X that if, and only if, it has properties p, q and r will it also have intelligence, be alive, or be conscious. What we tend to look for when ascribing inner states to another system – I shall use the term ‘system’ to cover both organic and inorganic entities and I shall examine three diff...
