Artificialization of Intelligence and Embodied Cognition
Résumé
The project of artificializing human intelligence currently faces the difficulty of simulating generalist intelligence. "Generalist" intelligence, whose essential properties are autonomy, versatility and fluidity, requires almost instantaneous access to an immense quantity of relevant information about the situations encountered, information that can range from simple factual data to understanding their emotional and social context. The difficulty in creating an intelligent machine in this general sense finds its origin in the computational paradigm of cognition, which assimilates the cognitive subject to a sophisticated calculator endowed with cognitive abilities specified by algorithms, and whose task would be to represent, using symbols or global states, a pre-existing world with equally well predefined properties. I will show that this limitation could be overcome by rebasing the project of artificialization of intelligence on the embodied approach to cognition explored by Francisco Varela, an approach which takes into account the essential role of the body and its insertion in the world.
