Training Object Permanence in World Models
Haotian Zhang, Fengyuan Yu, Dezhi Luo +28
Object permanence and solidity are hallmarks of human cognitive priors. Recent studies show that video generation models, a paradigmatic class of current world models, have begun t…
Ethics of Artificial Intelligence
Vincent C. Müller
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a digital technology that will be of major importance for the development of humanity in the near future. AI has raised fundamental questions about…
Which symbol grounding problem should we try to solve?
Vincent C. Müller
Floridi and Taddeo propose a condition of "zero semantic commitment" for solutions to the grounding problem, and a solution to it. I argue briefly that their condition cannot be fu…
Pancomputationalism: Theory or metaphor?
Vincent C. Müller
The theory that all processes in the universe are computational is attractive in its promise to provide an understandable theory of everything. I want to suggest here that this pan…
Challenges for artificial cognitive systems
Antoni Gomila, Vincent C. Müller
The declared goal of this paper is to fill this gap: "... cognitive systems research needs questions or challenges that define progress. The challenges are not (yet more) predictio…
On the Possibilities of Hypercomputing Supertasks
Vincent C. Müller
This paper investigates the view that digital hypercomputing is a good reason for rejection or re-interpretation of the Church-Turing thesis. After suggestion that such re-interpre…
Symbol grounding in computational systems: A paradox of intentions
Vincent C. Müller
The paper presents a paradoxical feature of computational systems that suggests that computationalism cannot explain symbol grounding. If the mind is a digital computer, as computa…
Would you mind being watched by machines? Privacy concerns in data mining
Vincent C. Müller
Data mining is not an invasion of privacy because access to data is only by machines, not by people: this is the argument that is investigated here. The current importance of this…
Is there a future for AI without representation?
Vincent C. Müller
This paper investigates the prospects of AI without representation in general, and the proposals of Rodney Brooks in particular. What turns out to be characteristic of Brooks' prop…
Some information is too dangerous to be on the internet
Vincent C. Müller
This paper investigates a problem about freedom of information. Although freedom of information is generally considered desirable, there are a number of areas where there is substa…
Interaction and resistance: The recognition of intentions in new human-computer interaction
Vincent C. Müller
Just as AI has moved away from classical AI, human-computer interaction (HCI) must move away from what I call 'good old fashioned HCI' to 'new HCI' - it must become a part of cogni…
Trade-Offs in Exploiting Body Morphology for Control: from Simple Bodies and Model-Based Control to Complex Bodies with Model-Free Distributed Control Schemes
Matej Hoffmann, Vincent C. Müller
Tailoring the design of robot bodies for control purposes is implicitly performed by engineers, however, a methodology or set of tools is largely absent and optimization of morphol…
A Dialogue Concerning Two World Systems: Info-Computational vs. Mechanistic
Gordana Dodig-Crnkovic, Vincent C. Müller
The dialogue develops arguments for and against adopting a new world system, info-computationalist naturalism, that is poised to replace the traditional mechanistic world system. W…
