System (Theory Structure)

Context

Machines Among Us

Machine-Age → Human and Machine
How the paradigm of the relationship between humans and technology is changing
- Example: Manifesto of Machinism
Relevance of the issue
Important moment in development
- Questioning human concepts
- Redefining definitions
- New considerations of what it means to be human

From Tools to Actors

Transition from perceiving machines as passive tools to active agents initiating their own behavior
"Agency"
- Why is it relevant?

Goal Problem

The problem of setting (alignment) goals for autonomous systems
- How to ensure that machine agents fulfill the intentions of their creators
The difficulty of precisely defining goals and behavior rules to prevent undesirable, harmful consequences

- Golem
- Maximizer

Mechanisms by which autonomous systems acquire the ability to learn, adapt, and develop new behavior strategies

Evolutionary algorithms
Adaptation
- Ability to learn
- Experience, memory
External references:
- Examples of self-learning systems
- RL (Reinforcement Learning), Feedback

Development of machines → Embodied agents

Physical form
- Transition from purely computational algorithms to their physical realization
- Physically embodied systems (embodied agents)
Bridges:
- "And what happens when these computational algorithms gain a physical form?"
- "We perceive the world around us, and ourselves within it, with, through, and because of our living bodies."

Open End – New Questions

Reflections and considerations of new questions associated with the development of autonomous machines and their connection to physical reality
Uncanny Valley
- Empathy towards machines
- Death → Mortal body of the machine
- New kind

Future:

It will also develop according to the setting of goals and behavior in my installation...
