      AGI: "a highly autonomous system that outperforms humans at most economically valuable work"

    • For "most economically valuable work" I like to reference the index of all occupations from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics: https://bls.gov/ooh/a-z-index.htm
    • Two common caveats:
      1. In practice most people currently deviate from the above definition to only mean digital work (a relatively major concession looking at the list).
      2. The definition above only considers the *existence* of such a system not its full deployment across all of the industry.

    • An artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a hypothetical type of intelligent agent.[1] If realized, an AGI could learn to accomplish any intellectual task that human beings or animals can perform. [2] Alternatively, AGI has been defined as an autonomous system that surpasses human capabilities in the majority of economically valuable tasks. Creating AGI is a primary goal of some artificial intelligence research and of companies such as OpenAI,[3] DeepMind, and Anthropic. AGI is a common topic in science fiction and futures studies.

      The timeline for AGI development remains a subject of ongoing debate among researchers and experts. Some argue that it may be possible in years or decades; others maintain it might take a century or longer; and a minority believe it may never be achieved.[4] There is debate on the exact definition of AGI, and regarding whether modern large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 are early yet incomplete forms of AGI. Contention exists over the potential for AGI to pose a threat to humanity;[1] for example, OpenAI treats it as an existential risk, while others find the development of AGI to be too remote to present a risk. [4][5]

      A 2020 survey identified 72 active AGI R&D projects spread across 37 countries.[6]

    • QUOTE: ... Ray Kurzweil: ... You need the full flexibility of human intelligence to pass a valid Turing Test. There's no simple Natural Language Processing trick you can do to do that. If the human judge can't tell the difference then we consider the AI to be of human intelligence, which is really what you're asking. That's been a key prediction of mine. I've been consistent in saying 2029. …

    • QUOTE: What’s Missing
      • More autonomous learning, unsupervised learning
      • Discovering the underlying causal factors
      • Model-­‐based RL which extends to completely new situations by unrolling powerful predictive models which can help reason about rarely observed dangerous states
      • Sufficient computational power for models large enough to capture human-­‐level knowledge
      • Autonomously discovering multiple time scales to handle very long-­‐term dependencies
      • Actually understanding language (also solves generating), requiring enough world knowledge / commonsense
      • Large-­‐scale knowledge representation allowing one-­‐shot learning as well as discovering new abstractions and explanations by ‘compiling’ previous observations

    • QUOTE: … a fundamental error in not distinguishing the difference between the very real recent advances in a particular aspect of AI, and the enormity and complexity of building sentient volitional intelligence. … Why so many years? As a comparison, consider that we have had winged flying machines for well over 100 years. But it is only very recently that people like Russ Tedrake at MIT CSAIL have been able to get them to land on a branch, something that is done by a bird somewhere in the world at least every microsecond. Was it just Moore’s law that allowed this to start happening? Not really. It was figuring out the equations and the problems and the regimes of stall, etc., through mathematical understanding of the equations. …

      … If we are spectacularly lucky we’ll have AI over the next thirty years with the intentionality of a lizard, and robots using that AI will be useful tools.

    • Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is an emerging field aiming at the building of “thinking machines", that is, general-purpose systems with intelligence comparable to that of the human mind. While this was the original goal of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the mainstream of AI research has turned toward domain-dependent and problem-specific solutions;; therefore it has become necessary to use a new name to indicate research that still pursues the "Grand AI Dream". Similar labels for this kind of research include “Strong AI", “Human-level AI", etc.

      The problems involved in creating general-purpose intelligent systems are very different from those involved in creating special-purpose systems. Therefore, this journal is different from conventional AI journals in its stress on the long-term potential of research towards the ultimate goal of AGI, rather than immediate applications. Articles focused on details of AGI systems are welcome, if they clearly indicate the relation between the special topics considered and intelligence as a whole, by addressing the generality, extensibility, and scalability of the techniques proposed or discussed.

      Since AGI research is still in its early stage, the journal strongly encourages novel approaches coming from various theoretical and technical traditions, including (but not limited to) symbolic, connectionist, statistical, evolutionary, robotic and information-theoretic, as well as integrative and hybrid approaches.
