Bongard","doi":"10.1162/isal_a_00530","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1162/isal_a_00530","url":null,"abstract":"Recent work with Lenia, a continuously-valued cellular automata (CA) framework, has yielded $sim$100s of compelling, bioreminiscent and mobile patterns. Lenia can be viewed as a continuously-valued generalization of the Game of Life, a seminal cellular automaton developed by John Conway that exhibits complex and universal behavior based on simple birth and survival rules. Life's framework of totalistic CA based on the Moore neighborhood includes many other interesting, Life-like, CA. A simplification introduced in Lenia limits the types of Life-like CA that are expressible in Lenia to a specific subset. This work recovers the ability to easily implement any Life-like CA by splitting Lenia's growth function into genesis and persistence functions, analogous to Life's birth and survival rules. We demonstrate the capabilities of this new CA variant by implementing a puffer pattern from Life-like CA Morley/Move, and examine differences between related CA in Lenia and Glaberish frameworks: Hydrogeminium natans and s613, respectively. These CA exhibit marked differences in dynamics and character based on spatial entropy over time, and both support several persistent mobile patterns. The CA s613, implemented in the Glaberish framework, is more dynamic than the Hydrogeminium CA in terms of a consistently high variance in spatial entropy over time. These results suggest there may be a wide variety of interesting CA that can be implemented in the Glaberish variant of the Lenia framework, analogous to the many interesting Life-like CA outside of Conway's Life.","PeriodicalId":309725,"journal":{"name":"The 2022 Conference on Artificial Life","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126898230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"On the Mutual Influence of Human and Artificial Life: an Experimental Investigation","authors":"Stefano Furlan, E. Medvet, Giorgia Nadizar, F. Pigozzi","doi":"10.1162/isal_a_00492","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1162/isal_a_00492","url":null,"abstract":"Our modern world is teeming with non-biological agents, whose growing complexity brings them so close to living beings that they can be cataloged as artificial creatures, i.e., a form of Artificial Life (ALife). Ranging from disembodied intelligent agents to robots of conspicuous dimensions, all these artifacts are united by the fact that they are designed, built, and possibly trained by humans taking inspiration from natural elements. Hence, humans play a fundamental role in relation to ALife, both as creators and as final users, which calls attention to the need of studying the mutual influence of human and artificial life. Here we attempt an experimental investigation of the reciprocal effects of the human-ALife interaction. To this extent, we design an artificial world populated by life-like creatures, and resort to open-ended evolution to foster the creatures adaptation. We allow bidirectional communication between the system and humans, who can observe the artificial world and voluntarily choose to perform positive or negative actions towards the creatures populating it; those actions may have a shortor long-term impact on the artificial creatures. Our experimental results show that the creatures are capable of evolving under the influence of humans, even though the impact of the interaction remains uncertain. In addition, we find that ALife gives rise to disparate feelings in humans who interact with it, who are not always aware of the importance of their conduct. Introduction and related works In the 1990s, the commercial craze of “Tamagotchi” (Clyde, 1998), a game where players nourish and care for virtual pets, swept through the world. Albeit naive, that game is a noteworthy instance of an Artificial Life (ALife) (Langton, 1997), i.e., a simulation of a living system, which does not exist in isolation, but in deep entanglement with human life. It also reveals that ALife is not completely detached from humans, who might need to rethink their role and responsibilities toward ALife. We already train artificial agents by reinforcement or supervision: trained agents are notoriously as biased as the datasets we feed them (Kasperkevic, 2015), and examples abound1. For instance, chatbot Tay shifted from lovely to toxic communication after a few hours of interaction with users of a social network (Hunt, 2016). The https://github.com/daviddao/awful-ai field of robotics is no exception to the case, and while robots, a relevant example of ALife agents, are becoming pervasive in our society, we—the creators—define and influence them (Pigozzi, 2022). One day in the future, a robot could browse for videos of the very first robots that were built, eager to learn more about its ancestors. Suppose a video shows up, displaying engineers that ruthlessly beat up and thrust a robot in the attempt of testing its resilience (Vincent, 2019). How brutal and condemnable would that act look to its electric eyes? Would our robotic brainchildren disown us and label ","PeriodicalId":309725,"journal":{"name":"The 2022 Conference on Artificial Life","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132057564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
