The superintelligence debate raises the issue of the existential risk for human civilization posed by superintelligent artificial systems, which, in the long term, could surpass human intelligence. This debate, focusing on the computational dimension of intelligence, overlooks the current trends in behavioral sciences and bio-inspired robotics, emphasizing that cognition is embodied, embedded, enactive, and extended, and works through interactions with the environment. In this contribution, we discuss the potential threat arising from a near-future generation of cheap-but-effective artificial systems that are computationally poor but can enact intelligent behaviors through their embodied interactions with the environment.

Abstract
The superintelligence debate raises the issue of the existential risk for human civilization posed by superintelligent artificial systems, which, in the long term, could surpass human intelligence. This debate, focusing on the computational dimension of intelligence, overlooks the current trends in behavioral sciences and bio-inspired robotics, emphasizing that cognition is embodied, embedded, enactive, and extended, and works through interactions with the environment. In this contribution, we discuss the potential threat arising from a near-future generation of cheap-but-effective artificial systems that are computationally poor but can enact intelligent behaviors through their embodied interactions with the environment.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
