Machine behaviour

Iyad Rahwan, Manuel Cebrian, Nick Obradovich, Josh Bongard, Jean-François Bonnefon, et al. · 2019

Nature

A Nature paper proposing the study of machine behaviour, of AI systems as actors in human environments. Both papers name machine behavior as swarm ecology's nearest neighbor. Swarm ecology differs in making metabolism the hinge between bred and wild lineages, and observation the central problem of method, because the organisms read.
