Embodiment vs. Memetics
نویسنده
چکیده
Although the embodied approach to AI has lead to a large number of advances in the field, there has been no convincing demonstration of one of its earliest promises: that it would solve semantic grounding. In this article, I argue that although physical embodiment no doubt plays a major role in human intelligence, it may not be a necessary attribute for artificial agents capable of participating as equals in our linguistic culture.

Embodiment vs. Memetics: Is Building a Human getting Easier?
This heretical article suggests that while embodiment was key to evolving human culture, and clearly affects our thinking and word choice now (as do many things in our environment), our culture may have evolved to such a point that a purely memetic AI beast could pass the Turing test. Though making something just like a human would clearly require both embodiment and memetics, if we were forced...

متن کاملEmbodiment versus memetics
The term embodiment identifies a theory that meaning and semantics cannot be captured by abstract, logical systems, but are dependent on an agent’s experience derived from being situated in an environment. This theory has recently received a great deal of support in the cognitive science literature and is having significant impact in artificial intelligence. Memetics refers to the theory that k...
متن کاملLiving Together: Mind and Machine Intelligence
In this paper we consider the nature of the machine intelligences we have created in the context of our human intelligence. We suggest that the fundamental difference between human and machine intelligence comes down to embodiment factors. We define embodiment factors as the ratio between an entity’s ability to communicate information vs compute information. We speculate on the role of embodime...
متن کاملPhysical vs. Virtual Agent Embodiment and Effects on Social Interaction
Previous work indicates that physical robots elicit more favorable social responses than virtual agents. These effects have been attributed to the physical embodiment. However, a recent meta-analysis by Li [1] suggests that the benefits of robots are due to physical presence rather than physical embodiment. To further explore the importance of presence we conducted a pilot study investigating t...
