• Abstract summary: We focus on interoception, a process of monitoring one's internal environment to keep it within certain bounds. To develop AI with interoception, we need to factorize the state variables representing internal environments from external environments. This paper offers a new perspective on how interoception can help build autonomous and adaptive agents.

• Abstract: Building autonomous --- i.e., choosing goals based on one's needs -- and adaptive -- i.e., surviving in ever-changing environments -- agents has been a holy grail of artificial intelligence (AI). A living organism is a prime example of such an agent, offering important lessons about adaptive autonomy. Here, we focus on interoception, a process of monitoring one's internal environment to keep it within certain bounds, which underwrites the survival of an organism. To develop AI with interoception, we need to factorize the state variables representing internal environments from external environments and adopt life-inspired mathematical properties of internal environment states. This paper offers a new perspective on how interoception can help build autonomous and adaptive agents by integrating the legacy of cybernetics with recent advances in theories of life, reinforcement learning, and neuroscience.

• Adaptive Intelligence: leveraging insights from adaptive behavior in animals to build flexible AI systems [0.0]
  I will review the behavioral and neural foundations of adaptive biological intelligence, the parallel progress in AI, and explore brain-inspired approaches for building more adaptive algorithms. The next frontier is to go beyond traditional AI to develop "adaptive intelligence," defined here as harnessing insights from biological intelligence to build agents that can learn online, generalize, and rapidly adapt to changes in their environment.

  In cellular automata (CA), a key open-question has been whether it is possible to find environment rules that self-organize. We show that this approach enables to find systematically environmental conditions in CA leading to self-organization. We show that the discovered agents have surprisingly robust capabilities to move, maintain their body integrity and navigate among various obstacles.

  We propose an evolutionary framework for agent evolution and alignment, named EvolutionaryAgent. In an environment where social norms continuously evolve, agents better adapted to the current social norms will have a higher probability of survival and proliferation. We show that EvolutionaryAgent can align progressively better with the evolving social norms while maintaining its proficiency in general tasks.

  We argue that the search for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) should start from a much lower level than human-level intelligence. Our hypothesis is that learning occurs through sensory feedback when an agent acts in an environment. We evaluate a method to evolve a biologically-inspired artificial neural network that learns from environment reactions.

  We argue that a compact and general learning objective is to minimize the entropy of the agent's state visitation estimated using a latent state-space model. This objective induces an agent to both gather information about its environment, corresponding to reducing uncertainty, and to gain control over its environment, corresponding to reducing the unpredictability of future world states.
