PARADIGM OF NATURAL INTELLIGENCE<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>It will
be argued that intelligence is a universal phenomenon present in all forms of
life. It requires a new form of relationship with the environment, implying not
only openness to energy flows but to information flows as well. External
information processing, coupled with internal information processing, may
produce an adaptive life cycle that manifests (natural) intelligence, produces
meaning, and realizes fitness value. Out from the basic prokaryotic
conformation, the unit of natural intelligence, it may develop hierarchically,
via multicellularity, and particularly with the evolution of nervous systems.
Then, natural intelligence fully develops up to the point, in the human case,
of exhibiting pieces of artificial intelligence that mimic some of the basic
properties of the former. It will be finally argued that without a proper
understanding of natural intelligence, the scientific foundations of artificial
intelligence will be shaky--notwithstanding the technological grandeur it is
effectively achieving. But unbridled, half-understood technologies are not a
panacea for societies. Often the opposite.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
