意识和智力是通常被民间心理学和社会所理解的特性。人工智能一词及其在近年来设法解决的问题是一种论点,以确立机器经历某种意识。遵循罗素的类比,如果一台机器能够做一个有意识的人所做的事情,那么机器有意识的可能性就会增加。但是,这种类比的社会含义是灾难性的。具体而言,如果对可以解决神经典型人可能会解决的问题的实体赋予了权利,那么机器是否具有更多的残疾人权利?例如,自闭症综合征障碍频谱可以使一个人无法解决机器解决的问题。我们认为明显的答案是否定的,因为解决问题并不意味着意识。因此,我们将在本文中争论出惊人的意识和至少计算智力是独立的,以及为什么机器不具有惊人意识,尽管它们可能会发展出与人类相比更高的计算智力。为此,我们尝试制定计算智能的客观度量,并研究其在人类,动物和机器中的表现。类似地,我们将惊人的意识研究为二分法变量,以及它在人,动物和机器中的分布方式。由于现象意识和计算智力是独立的,因此这一事实对社会具有关键意义,我们在这项工作中也分析了这一事实。

智能机器真的聪明吗?智力的基本哲学概念是否令人满意地描述当前系统的工作方式?了解智力的必要条件吗?如果一台机器能理解,我们应该将主观性归因于它吗?本文解决了决定所谓的“智能机器”是否能够理解而不是仅仅处理标志的问题。它处理语法和语义之间的关系。主要论文涉及语义的必然性对于建造有意识机器的可能性的任何讨论,并凝结为以下两个原则:直觉”; “如果语义不能简化为语法,那么机器就无法理解。”我们的结论指出,没有必要将理解归因于机器以解释其表现出的“智能”行为。仅仅是句法和机械智力的方法作为解决任务的工具,足以证明它可以在技术发展的当前状态中显示的操作范围。

在流行媒体中,人造代理商的意识出现与同时实现人类或超人水平智力的那些相同的代理之间通常存在联系。在这项工作中,我们探讨了意识和智力之间这种看似直观的联系的有效性和潜在应用。我们通过研究与三种当代意识功能理论相关的认知能力:全球工作空间理论(GWT),信息生成理论(IGT)和注意力模式理论(AST)。我们发现,这三种理论都将有意识的功能专门与人类领域将军智力的某些方面联系起来。有了这个见解,我们转向人工智能领域(AI),发现尽管远未证明一般智能,但许多最先进的深度学习方法已经开始纳入三个功能的关键方面理论。确定了这一趋势后,我们以人类心理时间旅行的激励例子来提出方式,其中三种理论中每种理论的见解都可以合并为一个单一的统一和可实施的模型。鉴于三种功能理论中的每一种都可以通过认知能力来实现这一可能,因此,具有精神时间旅行的人造代理不仅具有比当前方法更大的一般智力,而且还与我们当前对意识功能作用的理解更加一致在人类中,这使其成为AI研究的有希望的近期目标。

There has been a recent resurgence in the area of explainable artificial intelligence as researchers and practitioners seek to make their algorithms more understandable. Much of this research is focused on explicitly explaining decisions or actions to a human observer, and it should not be controversial to say that looking at how humans explain to each other can serve as a useful starting point for explanation in artificial intelligence. However, it is fair to say that most work in explainable artificial intelligence uses only the researchers' intuition of what constitutes a 'good' explanation. There exists vast and valuable bodies of research in philosophy, psychology, and cognitive science of how people define, generate, select, evaluate, and present explanations, which argues that people employ certain cognitive biases and social expectations towards the explanation process. This paper argues that the field of explainable artificial intelligence should build on this existing research, and reviews relevant papers from philosophy, cognitive psychology/science, and social psychology, which study these topics. It draws out some important findings, and discusses ways that these can be infused with work on explainable artificial intelligence.

Recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI) has renewed interest in building systems that learn and think like people. Many advances have come from using deep neural networks trained end-to-end in tasks such as object recognition, video games, and board games, achieving performance that equals or even beats humans in some respects. Despite their biological inspiration and performance achievements, these systems differ from human intelligence in crucial ways. We review progress in cognitive science suggesting that truly human-like learning and thinking machines will have to reach beyond current engineering trends in both what they learn, and how they learn it. Specifically, we argue that these machines should (a) build causal models of the world that support explanation and understanding, rather than merely solving pattern recognition problems; (b) ground learning in intuitive theories of physics and psychology, to support and enrich the knowledge that is learned; and (c) harness compositionality and learning-to-learn to rapidly acquire and generalize knowledge to new tasks and situations. We suggest concrete challenges and promising routes towards these goals that can combine the strengths of recent neural network advances with more structured cognitive models.

This white paper lays out a vision of research and development in the field of artificial intelligence for the next decade (and beyond). Its denouement is a cyber-physical ecosystem of natural and synthetic sense-making, in which humans are integral participants$\unicode{x2014}$what we call ''shared intelligence''. This vision is premised on active inference, a formulation of adaptive behavior that can be read as a physics of intelligence, and which inherits from the physics of self-organization. In this context, we understand intelligence as the capacity to accumulate evidence for a generative model of one's sensed world$\unicode{x2014}$also known as self-evidencing. Formally, this corresponds to maximizing (Bayesian) model evidence, via belief updating over several scales: i.e., inference, learning, and model selection. Operationally, this self-evidencing can be realized via (variational) message passing or belief propagation on a factor graph. Crucially, active inference foregrounds an existential imperative of intelligent systems; namely, curiosity or the resolution of uncertainty. This same imperative underwrites belief sharing in ensembles of agents, in which certain aspects (i.e., factors) of each agent's generative world model provide a common ground or frame of reference. Active inference plays a foundational role in this ecology of belief sharing$\unicode{x2014}$leading to a formal account of collective intelligence that rests on shared narratives and goals. We also consider the kinds of communication protocols that must be developed to enable such an ecosystem of intelligences and motivate the development of a shared hyper-spatial modeling language and transaction protocol, as a first$\unicode{x2014}$and key$\unicode{x2014}$step towards such an ecology.

一个令人着迷的假设是,人类和动物的智力可以通过一些原则(而不是启发式方法的百科全书清单)来解释。如果这个假设是正确的,我们可以更容易地理解自己的智能并建造智能机器。就像物理学一样,原理本身不足以预测大脑等复杂系统的行为,并且可能需要大量计算来模拟人类式的智力。这一假设将表明,研究人类和动物所剥削的归纳偏见可以帮助阐明这些原则,并为AI研究和神经科学理论提供灵感。深度学习已经利用了几种关键的归纳偏见,这项工作考虑了更大的清单,重点是关注高级和顺序有意识的处理的工作。阐明这些特定原则的目的是,它们有可能帮助我们建立从人类的能力中受益于灵活分布和系统概括的能力的AI系统,目前,这是一个领域艺术机器学习和人类智力。

最近围绕语言处理模型的复杂性的最新炒作使人们对机器获得了类似人类自然语言的指挥的乐观情绪。人工智能中自然语言理解的领域声称在这一领域取得了长足的进步,但是,在这方面和其他学科中使用“理解”的概念性清晰,使我们很难辨别我们实际上有多近的距离。目前的方法和剩余挑战的全面,跨学科的概述尚待进行。除了语言知识之外,这还需要考虑我们特定于物种的能力,以对,记忆,标签和传达我们(足够相似的)体现和位置经验。此外,测量实际约束需要严格分析当前模型的技术能力,以及对理论可能性和局限性的更深入的哲学反思。在本文中,我将所有这些观点(哲学,认知语言和技术)团结在一起,以揭开达到真实(人类般的)语言理解所涉及的挑战。通过解开当前方法固有的理论假设,我希望说明我们距离实现这一目标的实际程度,如果确实是目标。

关于人类是否有自由的辩论是几个世纪以来的争夺。虽然有良好的论据,基于我们目前对大自然法律的理解,虽然人类不可能自由的意志,但大多数人都相信他们。这种差异乞求解释。如果我们接受我们没有自由的意志,我们面临着两个问题:(1)虽然自由是一个非常常用的概念,每个人都直觉理解,我们实际提到的是,当我们说行动或选择时,我们实际上是什么?免费“或不是?而且,(2)为什么自由的信念会如此共同?这种信念来自哪里,它的目的是什么?在本文中,我们从加强学习(RL)的角度来看这些问题。 RL是最初为培训人工智能代理制定的框架。然而,它也可以用作人为决策和学习的计算模型,并通过这样做,我们建议通过观察人们的常识理解自由来回回答第一问题与信息熵密切相关RL代理的归一化行动值,而第二个可以通过代理人来制定本身的必要性,就像他们在处理时间信用分配问题时所做的那样做出决定。简而言之,我们建议通过将RL框架应用为人类学习的模型,这变得明显,为了让我们有效地学习并聪明,我们需要将自己视为自由意志。

我们认为,被认为是成功执行任务的处置的情报是由代理及其上下文组成的系统的属性。这是扩展智力的论点。我们认为,如果允许其上下文变化,通常不会保留代理的性能。因此,这种处置不是由代理人独自拥有的,而是由由代理及其上下文组成的系统所拥有的,我们将其配置为具有代理的代理。代理商的背景可能包括环境,其他代理,文化文物(例如语言,技术)或所有这些,就像人类和人工智能系统以及许多非人类动物一样。根据扩展情报的论点,我们认为智能是上下文结合的,任务局部和不可限制的代理商。我们的论文对在心理学和人工智能的背景下如何分析智力具有很大的影响。

人工智能的象征主义,联系主义和行为主义方法在各种任务中取得了很多成功,而我们仍然没有对社区中达成足够共识的“智能”的明确定义(尽管有70多个不同的“版本”的“版本”定义)。智力的本质仍然处于黑暗状态。在这项工作中,我们不采用这三种传统方法中的任何一种,而是试图确定智力本质的某些基本方面,并构建一种数学模型来代表和潜在地重现这些基本方面。我们首先强调定义讨论范围和调查粒度的重要性。我们仔细比较了人工智能,并定性地展示了信息抽象过程,我们建议这是联系感知和认知的关键。然后,我们提出了“概念”的更广泛的概念,将自我模型的概念从世界模型中分离出来,并构建了一种称为世界自我模型(WSM)的新模型。我们展示了创建和连接概念的机制,以及WSM如何接收,处理和输出有关解决的问题的信息的流程。我们还考虑并讨论了所提出的理论框架的潜在计算机实施问题,最后我们提出了一个基于WSM的统一智能一般框架。

Many theories, based on neuroscientific and psychological empirical evidence and on computational concepts, have been elaborated to explain the emergence of consciousness in the central nervous system. These theories propose key fundamental mechanisms to explain consciousness, but they only partially connect such mechanisms to the possible functional and adaptive role of consciousness. Recently, some cognitive and neuroscientific models try to solve this gap by linking consciousness to various aspects of goal-directed behaviour, the pivotal cognitive process that allows mammals to flexibly act in challenging environments. Here we propose the Representation Internal-Manipulation (RIM) theory of consciousness, a theory that links the main elements of consciousness theories to components and functions of goal-directed behaviour, ascribing a central role for consciousness to the goal-directed manipulation of internal representations. This manipulation relies on four specific computational operations to perform the flexible internal adaptation of all key elements of goal-directed computation, from the representations of objects to those of goals, actions, and plans. Finally, we propose the concept of `manipulation agency' relating the sense of agency to the internal manipulation of representations. This allows us to propose that the subjective experience of consciousness is associated to the human capacity to generate and control a simulated internal reality that is vividly perceived and felt through the same perceptual and emotional mechanisms used to tackle the external world.

Despite recent advances of AI research in many application-specific domains, we do not know how to build a human-level artificial intelligence (HLAI). We conjecture that learning from others' experience with the language is the essential characteristic that distinguishes human intelligence from the rest. Humans can update the action-value function with the verbal description as if they experience states, actions, and corresponding rewards sequences firsthand. In this paper, we present a classification of intelligence according to how individual agents learn and propose a definition and a test for HLAI. The main idea is that language acquisition without explicit rewards can be a sufficient test for HLAI.

Curiosity for machine agents has been a focus of lively research activity. The study of human and animal curiosity, particularly specific curiosity, has unearthed several properties that would offer important benefits for machine learners, but that have not yet been well-explored in machine intelligence. In this work, we conduct a comprehensive, multidisciplinary survey of the field of animal and machine curiosity. As a principal contribution of this work, we use this survey as a foundation to introduce and define what we consider to be five of the most important properties of specific curiosity: 1) directedness towards inostensible referents, 2) cessation when satisfied, 3) voluntary exposure, 4) transience, and 5) coherent long-term learning. As a second main contribution of this work, we show how these properties may be implemented together in a proof-of-concept reinforcement learning agent: we demonstrate how the properties manifest in the behaviour of this agent in a simple non-episodic grid-world environment that includes curiosity-inducing locations and induced targets of curiosity. As we would hope, our example of a computational specific curiosity agent exhibits short-term directed behaviour while updating long-term preferences to adaptively seek out curiosity-inducing situations. This work, therefore, presents a landmark synthesis and translation of specific curiosity to the domain of machine learning and reinforcement learning and provides a novel view into how specific curiosity operates and in the future might be integrated into the behaviour of goal-seeking, decision-making computational agents in complex environments.

事实证明,在学习环境中,社会智能代理(SIA)的部署在不同的应用领域具有多个优势。社会代理创作工具使场景设计师能够创造出对SIAS行为的高度控制的量身定制体验,但是,另一方面,这是有代价的,因为该方案及其创作的复杂性可能变得霸道。在本文中,我们介绍了可解释的社会代理创作工具的概念,目的是分析社会代理的创作工具是否可以理解和解释。为此,我们检查了创作工具Fatima-Toolkit是否可以理解,并且从作者的角度来看,其创作步骤可以解释。我们进行了两项用户研究,以定量评估Fatima-Toolkit的解释性,可理解性和透明度,从场景设计师的角度来看。关键发现之一是,法蒂玛 - 库尔基特(Fatima-Toolkit)的概念模型通常是可以理解的,但是基于情感的概念并不那么容易理解和使用。尽管关于Fatima-Toolkit的解释性有一些积极的方面,但仍需要取得进展,以实现完全可以解释的社会代理商创作工具。我们提供一组关键概念和可能的解决方案,可以指导开发人员构建此类工具。

这篇理论文章研究了如何在计算机中构建类似人类的工作记忆和思维过程。应该有两个工作记忆存储,一个类似于关联皮层中的持续点火,另一个类似于大脑皮层中的突触增强。这些商店必须通过环境刺激或内部处理产生的新表示不断更新。它们应该连续更新,并以一种迭代的方式进行更新,这意味着在下一个状态下,应始终保留一组共同工作中的某些项目。因此,工作记忆中的一组概念将随着时间的推移逐渐发展。这使每个状态都是对先前状态的修订版,并导致连续的状态与它们所包含的一系列表示形式重叠和融合。随着添加新表示形式并减去旧表示形式,在这些更改过程中,有些保持活跃几秒钟。这种持续活动,类似于人工复发性神经网络中使用的活动,用于在整个全球工作区中传播激活能量,以搜索下一个关联更新。结果是能够朝着解决方案或目标前进的联想连接的中间状态链。迭代更新在这里概念化为信息处理策略,一种思想流的计算和神经生理决定因素以及用于设计和编程人工智能的算法。

We are currently unable to specify human goals and societal values in a way that reliably directs AI behavior. Law-making and legal interpretation form a computational engine that converts opaque human values into legible directives. "Law Informs Code" is the research agenda capturing complex computational legal processes, and embedding them in AI. Similar to how parties to a legal contract cannot foresee every potential contingency of their future relationship, and legislators cannot predict all the circumstances under which their proposed bills will be applied, we cannot ex ante specify rules that provably direct good AI behavior. Legal theory and practice have developed arrays of tools to address these specification problems. For instance, legal standards allow humans to develop shared understandings and adapt them to novel situations. In contrast to more prosaic uses of the law (e.g., as a deterrent of bad behavior through the threat of sanction), leveraged as an expression of how humans communicate their goals, and what society values, Law Informs Code. We describe how data generated by legal processes (methods of law-making, statutory interpretation, contract drafting, applications of legal standards, legal reasoning, etc.) can facilitate the robust specification of inherently vague human goals. This increases human-AI alignment and the local usefulness of AI. Toward society-AI alignment, we present a framework for understanding law as the applied philosophy of multi-agent alignment. Although law is partly a reflection of historically contingent political power - and thus not a perfect aggregation of citizen preferences - if properly parsed, its distillation offers the most legitimate computational comprehension of societal values available. If law eventually informs powerful AI, engaging in the deliberative political process to improve law takes on even more meaning.
