Abstract
Human cognition is portrayed as involving a highly flexible, self-organizing “cognitive network”, closely coupled with a number of more specific intelligent “body-system networks” – e.g. those associated with the perceptual and motor systems, the heart, the digestive system, the liver, and the immune and endocrine systems, all of which have been shown to have their own adaptive intelligence. These specialized intelligent networks provide the general-purpose cognitive network with critical structural and dynamical inductive biasing. It is argued that early-stage AGI systems must involve roughly comparable inductive biasing, though not necessarily achieved in the same way.
