• Abstract: Can reproduction alone in the context of survival produce intelligence in our machines? In this work, self-replication is explored as a mechanism for the emergence of intelligent behavior in modern learning environments. By focusing purely on survival, while undergoing natural selection, evolved organisms are shown to produce meaningful, complex, and intelligent behavior, demonstrating creative solutions to challenging problems without any notion of reward or objectives. Atari and robotic learning environments are re-defined in terms of natural selection, and the behavior which emerged in self-replicating organisms during these experiments is described in detail.

  Exploration of the physical environment is an indispensable precursor to data acquisition and enables knowledge generation via analytical or direct trialing. This work links human behavior and artificial agents to endorse self-development. A study is subsequently designed to mirror previous human trials, which artificial agents are made to undergo repeatedly towards convergence. Results demonstrate causality, learned by the vast majority of agents, between their internal states and exploration to match those reported for human counterparts.
