The aim of this study is to outline a theoretical framework for exploring possible interactions between the concepts of information, intelligence, and the experience of beauty, including efforts to communicate the latter. These notions are inherently...

The same term “intelligence” is used in different contexts as if there were a consensus on its meaning, even if already within the paradigmatic subject of human intelligence, the dominating view is that there are multiple (two, three, eig...

This paper explores the intersection of H.P. Lovecraft’s cosmicism and contemporary artificial intelligence (AI), proposing a philosophical shift from anthropocentric AI development to a “cosmicist” approach. Cosmicism, with its emp...

We build on the predictive processing framework to show that intelligent behaviour is adaptive control, driven by accurate prediction and uncertainty reduction in dynamic environments with limited information. We argue that adaptive control arises th...

Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have reignited discussions concerning the similarities and differences between human and machine intelligence. This article approaches such questions from the viewpoint of the overarching explanation fo...

I recently developed the concept of eco-cognitive openness and situatedness to explain how cognitive systems, whether human or artificial, engage dynamically with their surroundings to generate information and creative outcomes through abductive cogn...

This survey investigates the concept of transitive self-reflection as a fundamental criterion for detecting and measuring intelligence. We explore the manifestation of this ability in humans, consider its potential presence in other animals, and disc...

As artificial intelligence (AI) systems continue to outperform humans in an increasing range of specialised tasks, a fundamental question emerges at the intersection of philosophy, cognitive science, and engineering: should we aim to build AIs that t...

This paper proposes biomimicry as a paradigm for helping to overcome both the conceptual and technological limitations of current AI systems. It begins by outlining three key challenges faced by modern AI and then proceeds to introduce the concept of...

This work argues that there is more than one form of knowledge. By comparing human cognition with Rodney Brooks’ behavior-based robots, which act without representational content, I show that humans interact with the world through contentful re...
