is it possible to define ways in which truly diverse intelligences can be recognized, compared, and understood?question0.806
Motivates the development of TAME as a framework for all possible minds.
Could recognizing Diverse Intelligence (in unfamiliar substrates) be essential to understanding the mechanisms and origins of conventional cognition and behavior?question0.801
Motivates expansion of cognitive science.
Collective intelligence is not only the province of groups of animals; an important symmetry exists between the behavioral science of swarms and the competencies of cells and other biological systems at different scales.claim0.795
Foundational claim extending collective intelligence to all biological scales.
Most work in diverse intelligence emphasizes externally observable problem-solving competencies in unconventional media.claim0.793
A characterization of the diverse intelligence field provided by the authors.
Contingent properties like composition, origin, or similarity to human brains should not define ethical consideration for novel agents.claim0.786
Ethics must be based on empirically-determined cognitive properties (goals, preferences, concerns) rather than parochial markers.
If intelligence is defined as engaged concern for problem solving, then the apparent limits of a system’s intelligence can be expanded by extending its sphere of concern.hypothesis0.782
Predicts that care-driven expansion of concern leads to higher intelligence.
There is no consensus ethical framework for the creation of new sentient minds — neither for biological children nor for AI — that is grounded in principled theoryquestion0.779
Identified as a major unsolved problem that AI makes newly urgent
Natural and artificial intelligence can be unified through world models and life-mind continuity principles.claim0.777
Core assertive position of the paper; frames AGI in continuity with biological intelligence.
