- Abstract: Artificial Intelligence is a field that lives many lives, and the term has come to encompass a motley collection of scientific and commercial endeavours. In this paper, I articulate the contours of a rather neglected but central scientific role that AI has to play, which I dub `AI-as-exploration'.The basic thrust of AI-as-exploration is that of creating and studying systems that can reveal candidate building blocks of intelligence that may differ from the forms of human and animal intelligence we are familiar with. In other words, I suggest that AI is one of the best tools we have for exploring intelligence space, namely the space of possible intelligent systems. I illustrate the value of AI-as-exploration by focusing on a specific case study, i.e., recent work on the capacity to combine novel and invented concepts in humans and Large Language Models. I show that the latter, despite showing human-level accuracy in such a task, probably solve it in ways radically different, but no less relevant to intelligence research, to those hypothesised for humans.

We argue that shortcomings stem from one overarching failure: AI systems lack wisdom.
While AI research has focused on task-level strategies, metacognition is underdeveloped in AI systems.
We propose that integrating metacognitive capabilities into AI systems is crucial for enhancing their robustness, explainability, cooperation, and safety.

We emphasize developing Agent AI -- an embodied system that integrates large foundation models into agent actions.
In this paper, we propose a novel large action model to achieve embodied intelligent behavior, the Agent Foundation Model.

Without an agreed-upon definition of intelligence, asking "is this system intelligent?"" is an untestable question.
Most work on precisely capturing what we mean by "intelligence" has come from the fields of philosophy, psychology, and cognitive science.
We present an argument for a purely functional, black-box definition of intelligence, distinct from how that intelligence is actually achieved.

Mathematics is one of the most powerful conceptual systems developed and used by the human species.
Rapid progress in AI, particularly propelled by advances in large language models (LLMs), has sparked renewed, widespread interest in building such systems.

Humans have an innate ability to understand context, nuances, and subtle cues in communication.
Humans possess a vast repository of common-sense knowledge that helps us make logical inferences and predictions about the world.
Machines lack this innate understanding and often struggle with making sense of situations that humans find trivial.

We argue that all current intelligence tests are insufficient to point to the existence or lack of intelligence.
We propose a new approach to test for artificial self-awareness and outline a possible implementation.

With the integration of cognitive science, the 'artificial' characteristic of Artificial Intelligence might soon be replaced with'smart'
This will help develop more powerful AI systems and simultaneously gives us a better understanding of how the human brain works.
We argue that the possibility of AI taking over human civilization is low as developing such an advanced system requires a better understanding of the human brain first.

We define what it is to be an agent (device) that could be the bearer of AI.
We show that the mainstream definitions of intelligence' are too weak even to capture what is involved when we ascribe intelligence to an insect.
We identify the properties that an AI agent would need to possess in order to be the bearer of intelligence by this definition.

A fascinating hypothesis is that human and animal intelligence could be explained by a few principles.
This work considers a larger list, focusing on those which concern mostly higher-level and sequential conscious processing.
The objective of clarifying these particular principles is that they could potentially help us build AI systems benefiting from humans' abilities.
