"Using insights from cybernetics and an information-based understanding
of biological systems, a precise, scientifically inspired, definition of
free-will is offered and the essential requirements for an agent to
possess it in principle are set out."
"The only systems known to meet all these criteria are living organisms,
not just humans, but a wide range of organisms. The main impediment to
free-will in present-day artificial robots, is their lack of being a
Kantian whole. Consciousness does not seem to be a requirement and the
minimum complexity for a free-will system may be quite low and include
relatively simple life-forms that are at least able to learn."
