Living Together: Mind and Machine Intelligence

Understand

In this paper we consider the nature of the machine intelligences we have created in the context of our human intelligence.

• We suggest that the fundamental difference between human and machine intelligence comes down to \emph{embodiment factors}.
• We define embodiment factors as the ratio between an entity's ability to communicate information vs compute information.
• We speculate on the role of embodiment factors in driving our own intelligence and consciousness.
