Summary
This document is page 176 of a scientific text (likely a book or academic paper) titled 'General Intelligence in the Everyday Human World'. It discusses Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and the theory of the 'Extended Mind and Body', referencing authors Hutchins and Logan. It concludes by outlining the environmental and physical requirements necessary for an AGI to develop humanlike intelligence. The document bears the stamp 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_013092', indicating it is part of a larger cache of evidence reviewed by the House Oversight Committee, likely related to Epstein's interest in or funding of scientific research.

176 9 General Intelligence in the Everyday Human World
9.7 The Extended Mind and Body
Finally, Hutchins [Hut95], Logan [Log07] and others have promoted a view of human intelligence that views the human mind as extended beyond the individual body, incorporating social interactions and also interactions with inanimate objects, such as tools, plants and animals.
This leads to a number of requirements for a humanlike AGI’s environment:
This leads to a number of requirements for a humanlike AGI’s environment:
1. The ability to create a variety of different tools for interacting with various aspects of the world in various different ways, including tools for making tools and ultimately machinery
2. The existence of other mobile, virtual life-forms in the world, including simpler and less intelligent ones, and ones that interact with each other and with the AGI
3. The existence of organic growing structures in the world, with which the AGI can interact in various ways, including halting their growth or modifying their growth pattern
2. The existence of other mobile, virtual life-forms in the world, including simpler and less intelligent ones, and ones that interact with each other and with the AGI
3. The existence of organic growing structures in the world, with which the AGI can interact in various ways, including halting their growth or modifying their growth pattern
How necessary these requirements are is hard to say – but it is clear that these things have played a major role in the evolution of human intelligence.
9.8 Conclusion
Happily, this diverse chapter supports a simple, albeit tentative conclusion. Our suggestion is that, if an AGI is
• placed in an environment capable of roughly supporting multimodal communication and vaguely (but not necessarily precisely) real-world-ish naive physics
• surrounded with other intelligent agents of varying levels of complexity, and other complex, dynamic structures to interface with
• given a body that can perceive this environment through some forms of sight, sound and touch; and perceive itself via some form of kinesthesia
• given a motivational system that encourages it to make rich use of these aspects of its environment
• surrounded with other intelligent agents of varying levels of complexity, and other complex, dynamic structures to interface with
• given a body that can perceive this environment through some forms of sight, sound and touch; and perceive itself via some form of kinesthesia
• given a motivational system that encourages it to make rich use of these aspects of its environment
then the AGI is likely to have an experience-base reinforcing the key inductive biases provided by the everyday world for the guidance of humanlike intelligence.
