TL;DR: We propose artificial intelligent life (AILife) as a new perspective to approach artificial general intelligence, similar to a living organism in reality.

Abstract: We propose artificial intelligent life (AILife) as a new perspective to approach artificial general intelligence, similar to a living organism in reality. Unlike machine learning approaches that focus on reward functions and mathematical optimizations, AILife seeks to develop an artificial organism that learns by the mechanism of biological neurons. AILife is composed of a biological-like neuron system to learn from interactions with the world, a sensory system to feel the world, and actuators to perform activities. We show a toy example to explain AILife.
