How Much Like Us Do We Want AIs to Be
Replicating or exceeding human intelligence, not just in particular domains but in general, has always been a major goal of Artificial Intelligence (AI). We argue here that “human intelligence” is not only ill-defined, but often conflated with broader aspects of human psychology. Standard arguments for replicating it are morally unacceptable. We then suggest a reframing: that the proper goal of AI is not to replicate humans, but to complement the…
How Do Living Systems Create Meaning
Meaning has traditionally been regarded as a problem for philosophers and psychologists. Advances in cognitive science since the early 1960s, however, broadened discussions of meaning, or more technically, the semantics of perceptions, representations, and/or actions, into biology and computer science. Here, we review the notion of “meaning” as it applies to living systems, and argue that the question of how living systems create meaning unifies …
Object Permanence
The Principle of Persistence, Leibniz's Law, and the Computational Task of Object Re-Identification
Infant abilities to re-identify objects through time have been characterized in terms of a ‘‘principle of persistence'' [Baillargeon (2008): Perspectives on Psychological Science, 3, 2-13]. It is argued that the proposed principle of persistence has neither theoretical content nor explanatory power, and that object persistence is itself not an explanatory principle but rather an effect to be explained. The computational task of object re-identifi…
