Abstract
. The paper explores a biologically inspired definition of intelligent autonomous agents. Intelligence is related to whether behavior of a system contributes to its self-maintenance. Behavior becomes more intelligent (or copes with more ecological pressures) when it is capable to create and use representations. The notion of representation should not be restricted to formal expressions with a truththeoretic semantics. The dynamics at various levels of intelligent systems plays an essential role in forming representations. Keywords: intelligence, self-organisation, representation, complex dynamical systems. 1 Introduction What exactly are intelligent autonomous agents? Unless we have some good criteria that are clear targets for the field, it will both be difficult to judge whether we have achieved our aims or to set intermediate milestones to measure whether progress has been made. The goal of this paper is to present a definition of intelligent autonomous agents. The definition has t...
