• Abstract summary: We propose a research line aimed at incrementally building both the technology and the trustworthiness of AGC. We advocate starting from unobtrusive, nonthreatening artificial agents that would explicitly collaborate with humans. Although they would not be able to play competitive online games or generate poems, we argue that creatures akin to artificial pets would be invaluable stepping stones toward symbiotic Artificial General Intelligence.

• Abstract: We introduce here the concept of Artificial General Creatures (AGC) which encompasses "robotic or virtual agents with a wide enough range of capabilities to ensure their continued survival". With this in mind, we propose a research line aimed at incrementally building both the technology and the trustworthiness of AGC. The core element in this approach is that trust can only be built over time, through demonstrably mutually beneficial interactions. To this end, we advocate starting from unobtrusive, nonthreatening artificial agents that would explicitly collaborate with humans, similarly to what domestic animals do. By combining multiple research fields, from Evolutionary Robotics to Neuroscience, from Ethics to Human-Machine Interaction, we aim at creating embodied, self-sustaining Artificial General Creatures that would form social and emotional connections with humans. Although they would not be able to play competitive online games or generate poems, we argue that creatures akin to artificial pets would be invaluable stepping stones toward symbiotic Artificial General Intelligence.

  One of the challenges artificial intelligence (AI) faces is how a collection of agents coordinate their behaviour to achieve goals that are not reachable by any single agent. We make the case for collective intelligence in a general setting, drawing on recent work from single neuron complexity in neural networks. We show how our social structures are influenced by our neuro-physiology, our psychology, and our language.

  AI systems need to be explainable to the humans in the loop. We will discuss how the AI agent can use mental models to either conform to human expectations, or change those expectations through explanatory communication. While the main focus of the book is on cooperative scenarios, we will point out how the same mental models can be used for obfuscation and deception.

  We present a high-dimensional, simulated robot learning benchmark, HumanoidBench, featuring a humanoid robot equipped with dexterous hands. Our findings reveal that state-of-the-art reinforcement learning algorithms struggle with most tasks, whereas a hierarchical learning approach achieves superior performance when supported by robust low-level policies.

  We study how different forms of AI influence the evolution of cooperation in a human population playing the one-shot Prisoner's Dilemma game. We found that Samaritan AI agents that help everyone unconditionally, including defectors, can promote higher levels of cooperation in humans than Discriminatory AIs.

  We argue that the most successful AI agents will likely have undesirable traits. If such agents have intelligence that exceeds that of humans, this could lead to humanity losing control of its future. To counteract these risks and evolutionary forces, we consider interventions such as carefully designing AI agents' intrinsic motivations.

We see the notion of HCAI agent, together with its components and functions, as a way to bridge the technical and non-technical discussions on human-centered AI.

  The rise of Artificial Intelligence will bring with it an ever-increasing willingness to cede decision-making to machines. But rather than just giving machines the power to make decisions that affect us, we need ways to work cooperatively with AI systems. With success, cooperation between humans and AIs can build society just as human-human cooperation has.

  We propose a novel explainable AI (XAI) framework for achieving human-like communication in human-robot collaborations. The robot builds a hierarchical mind model of the human user and generates explanations of its own mind as a form of communications. Results show that the generated explanations of our approach significantly improves the collaboration performance and user perception of the robot.
