Abstract

We argue here that no cognitive agent can act in real time intelligently without emotion analogs that permit rapid, patterned response to critical “sensory” input or the impact of sudden internal signals. These agents will range in scale and form across individual humans, small disciplined groups, larger institutions, man/machine cockpit enterprises, and AI systems.
