Overview

This article explores self-interest-driven agency and decision-making in animals, suggesting its social origins and implications for intelligence.

Key Points

  • The aim is to redefine intelligence through a multi-layered perspective of agency, grounded in evolutionary principles.
  • Defined operant behavior in terms of self-interest and decision-making processes.
  • Analyzed survival rates of reintroduced parrot species in relation to agency.
  • Explored the implications of social structures on individual and collective persistence.
  • Achieved 100% post-release survival in free-flight-trained macaws over three years.
  • Obtained a ≥72% survival rate for Amazon parrots one year post-release.
  • Identified limitations in artificial systems that rely solely on egocentric behaviors.
