Robot Swarms

Robots trained to exhibit useful emergent behavior whose global behavior is irreducible to individual actions, used to argue against machine predictability

Claims (1)

claim

Modern machines, including quantum computers and machine learning systems, achieve reliable function through uncertain events, making unpredictability a feature rather than a defect.
supports
Argument that predictability is no longer an essential property distinguishing machines from life
