Shared Ontologies: 4e Cognition and Montemayor’s Humanitarian AI
Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Consciousness September 1, 2024 Robin L. Zebrowski
This paper identifies common ground between Carlos Montemayor's account of mind and AI, as presented in his précis for *The Prospect of Humanitarian Artificial Intelligence*, and enactivist philosophy. The author notes that Montemayor emphasizes autonomy, embeddedness, perspective, and social interaction, yet does not engage with 4E (embodied, embedded, extended, enactive) cognitive science, particularly enactivism, despite his heavy reliance on biological and autonomous features to distinguish intelligence from consciousness.
