All examples of natural intelligence have come about through the evolution of nervous systems in an ecology. Evolution provides a powerful engine for exploring an enormous space of possibilities. Nervous systems are the ubiquitous natural evolution to processing information in an intelligent fashion and intelligence only makes sense within a context, within the ecology in which it confers an evolutionary advantage. I will discuss how the field of Artificial Life offers a way to use the same approach to the pursuit of Artificial Intelligence.
