#enactive

[psychologyclass-blog]

Over the past twenty years several claims about human cognition have been made. Extended: cognitive states and processes can extend beyond the boundaries of the organism (e.g. notes for memory). Enactive: dependent on aspects of the activity of the organism. Embodied: cognitive properties and performances can crucially depend on facts about our embodiment. Embedded: cognitive properties and performances can crucially depend on facts about our relationship to the surrounding environment. Affective: our cognition is intimately dependent upon the value of the object of cognition. Ward & Stapleton, Cognition as enacted, embodied, embedded, affective and extended. (2016)

There are many instructive implications of research within the umbrella of 4E cognitive science. But perhaps the most important is the license it gives researchers to think more broadly about knowledge, perception, intention, belief, and emotion than the narrowly neurophysiological versions of cognitive science would permit. This perspective allows researchers to pay attention to the interdependencies that exist between consciousness, thought, bodily action, joint activity, social context, and artifact that are difficult to incorporate into older cognitive theories. The model of the mind as the expression of a brain-computer-information machine is perhaps one whose time has passed. (Sorry, Alan Turing!)

しかしながら、どんなに頑迷な生物学者でさえ、世界には様々な特徴の存在様式があり、さらにより多くの異なる経験世界があることを認めざるをえないだろう。そして、人間の認知に限定したとしても、世界の存在様式に対する様々な受け取り方があるのだ。この非客観主義的な（非主観主義的でもある）確信は、認知研究において徐々に芽生えている。しかしながら、今のところ、この代替的な方向性には十分確立された呼称がない。なぜなら、多様な分野で研究している比較的少数の集団をおおう傘のようなものだからである。認知が所与の心による所与の世界の表象ではなく、むしろ世界の存在体が演じる様々な行為の歴史に基づいて世界と心を行為から産出すること（enactment）とする、ますます高まる確信を強調するために、「エナクティブ」（enactive）という用語を提唱したい。したがって、エナクティブ・アプローチは、心が自然の鏡であるという考えを真摯に哲学的に批判するが、科学の中枢からこの問題に迫ることによってさらに前進するものである。

AI Abstract Series Episode 3 - Implementing a Seed Safe/Moral Motivational System with the ICOM

Abstract: Arguably, the most important questions about machine intelligences revolve around how they will decide what actions to take. If they decide to take actions which are deliberately, or even incidentally, harmful to humanity, then they would likely become an existential risk. If they were naturally inclined, or could be convinced, to help humanity, then it would likely lead to a much brighter future than would otherwise be the case. This is a true fork in the road towards humanity’s future and we must ensure that we engineer a safe solution to this most critical of issues.
