How to protect the endangered languages is a typical and important social problem around the world. Now, the existing social computational models of language evolution are generally short of language endangerment warning and language recovery. These two parts are very important for language evolution. In this paper, an artificial society is cultivated based on multi-agents with purpose of obser...

We reminisce and discuss applications of algorithmic probability to a wide range of problems in artificial intelligence, philosophy and technological society. We propose that Solomonoff has effectively axiomatized the field of artificial intelligence, therefore establishing it as a rigorous scientific discipline. We also relate to our own work in incremental machine learning and philosophy of c...

We use an agent-based model to investigate the interdependent dynamics between individual agency and emergent socioeconomic structure, leading to institutional change in a generic way. Our model simulates the emergence and exit of institutional units, understood as generic governed social structures. We show how endogenized trust and exogenously given leader authority influences institutional c...

Having equally valid premises pro and contra, what does a rational human being prefer? The answer is: nothing. We designed a test of this kind and applied it to an artificial society, characterized by a given level of mental ability. A stream of messages from media is supplemented by ongoing interpersonal communication. The result is that high ability leads to well-balanced opinions, while low ...

We study dynamic phenomena in a large social network of nearly 3x10;{4} individuals who interact in the large virtual world of a massive multiplayer online role playing game. On the basis of a database received from the online game server, we examine the structure of the friendship network and human dynamics. To investigate the relation between networks of acquaintances in virtual and real worl...

The Society of Mind is an 'implementation' of the philosophical theory of functionalism. Even so, the search for consciousness continues to go on in areas of psychology and philosophy, providing both answers and new questions to be solved. AI as a whole should stop seeing each facet as different competiting implementations and should start combining symbolism and connectionism, which would give...

This report documents the programme of, and outcomes from, the Dagstuhl Seminar 16222 on “Engineering Moral Agents – from Human Morality to Artificial Morality”. Artificial morality is an emerging area of research within artificial intelligence (AI), concerned with the problem of designing artificial agents that behave as moral agents, i.e., adhere to moral, legal, and social norms. Context-awa...
