Perspective: Purposeful Failure in Artificial Life and Artificial Intelligence
Abstract
Complex systems fail. I argue that failures can be a blueprint characterizing living organisms and biological intelligence, a control mechanism to increase complexity in evolutionary simulations, and an alternative to classical fitness optimization. Imitating biological successes in Artificial Life and Artificial Intelligence can be misleading; imitating failures offers a path towards understanding and emulating life it in artificial systems.
