传统的人工通用智能(AGI)研究聚焦于在确定规则下优化特定目标的算法。然而,类人智能表现出一种自适应的自发性——能够做出不受过往数据或即时奖励严格支配的意外选择。这种特质常被松散地称为“自由意志”,可能对创造力、鲁棒适应性以及避免问题求解中的僵局至关重要。本文提出一个理论框架,名为“自由意志方程”,借鉴量子场论的思想,赋予AGI代理一种可控的随机性决策机制。核心思想是将智能体的认知状态视为潜在行为或思维的叠加态,当做出决策时,该状态以概率方式坍缩为具体行动,类似于量子波函数在测量时的坍缩。通过引入类量子场机制及内在动机项,旨在增强代理探索新策略和应对未知变化的能力。在非平稳多臂赌博机环境中进行的实验表明,使用该框架的智能体相比基线方法获得了更高的奖励(提升23%)并展现出更强的策略多样性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) research traditionally focuses on algorithms that optimize for specific goals under deterministic rules. Yet, human-like intelligence exhibits adaptive spontaneity - an ability to make unexpected choices or free decisions not strictly dictated by past data or immediate reward. This trait, often dubbed "free will" in a loose sense, might be crucial for creativity, robust adaptation, and avoiding ruts in problem-solving. This paper proposes a theoretical framework, called the Free Will Equation, that draws analogies from quantum field theory to endow AGI agents with a form of adaptive, controlled stochasticity in their decision-making process. The core idea is to treat an AI agent's cognitive state as a superposition of potential actions or thoughts, which collapses probabilistically into a concrete action when a decision is made - much like a quantum wavefunction collapsing upon measurement. By incorporating mechanisms analogous to quantum fields, along with intrinsic motivation terms, we aim to improve an agent's ability to explore novel strategies and adapt to unforeseen changes. Experiments in a non-stationary multi-armed bandit environment demonstrate that agents using this framework achieve higher rewards and policy diversity compared to baseline methods.
