This article deals with the links between the enaction paradigm andartificial intelligence. Enaction is considered a metaphor for artificialintelligence, as a number of the notions which it deals with are deemedincompatible with the phenomenal field of the virtual. After explaining thisstance, we shall review previous works regarding this issue in terms ofartifical life and robotics. We shall focus on the lack of recognition ofco-evolution at the heart of these approaches. We propose to explicitlyintegrate the evolution of the environment into our approach in order to refinethe ontogenesis of the artificial system, and to compare it with the enactionparadigm. The growing complexity of the ontogenetic mechanisms to be activatedcan therefore be compensated by an interactive guidance system emanating fromthe environment. This proposition does not however resolve that of therelevance of the meaning created by the machine (sense-making). Suchreflections lead us to integrate human interaction into this environment inorder to construct relevant meaning in terms of participative artificialintelligence. This raises a number of questions with regards to setting up anenactive interaction. The article concludes by exploring a number of issues,thereby enabling us to associate current approaches with the principles ofmorphogenesis, guidance, the phenomenology of interactions and the use ofminimal enactive interfaces in setting up experiments which will deal with theproblem of artificial intelligence in a variety of enaction-based ways.
