Artificial General Intelligence: Now Is the Time

[FloodPower]

Some people seem to be turned off by your style (or alleged lack thereof) of speaking, So I feel it is necessary to say that I enjoy your voice and style, both in speaking and writing. You are fascinating indeed.

the guy looks like Jesus, so I believe him regardless his bad articulation

Can u get agi on ur pc?

Ahhh, stimulating. I wasn't yet sold on the use of virtual worlds, but I guess cutting the fat on what it has to process is a really good thing. We can get to AGI in the variety of hard reality when computers catch up, but right now we just need to try get all the systems together (hopefully in one building:). As for biological based models, I think they're stupid. We shouldn't try to replicate something we don't understand only because it should work.

Thanks for the great video. I finally have some idea of what the AI community has accomplished thus far with regards to AGI.

[XanaduZune]

I basically agree with everything he said and I've been thinking pretty much the same things. It seems like hardly anyone is working on AGI and they're spending all this time and money on side issues such as robot arms, chess games, and lots of other things that are not AGI. I wonder if people think AGI is too hard so they avoid working on it. Then they do all this other stuff and pretend it is artificial intelligence when it is just software.

A lot of the comments here seem to be from morons who haven't understood a fraction of what has been discussed here. Emergent systems <i>are</i> the only way to create genuine artificial intelligence. Who gives a shit what the guy looks or sounds like. This is great stuff, and an excellent approach to AGI. I'm tired of this stupid attitude that Intelligence only occurs behind a starched collar and tie.

this guy needs some presentation skills :( . The video is probably interesting.. but it's hard to look at it when this guy is talking about it... it's killing me! :|

[DamielBE]

the new viewer of Second Life, the level of details and interactions aviable now in 2010, would make a better VR environment for AGI to learn from and in.

I just hope it doesn't come to the TITANs from Eclipse Phase.

for a game, it's quite well documented.

[LordOfTheGnus]

Listenng to this guy's voice is insuffrable. He really needs to learn to speak well. Open your mouth! Enunciate!

It's one looooong wheezy moan, ugh!

[Adovid]

All I hear him doing is complain about how non deterministic it is.

Maybe we should look for a non deterministic approach.

[ramptondayrelease]

Do we really NEED all this technology?

It'll all be used to enslave us.

[MacProvidence]

I agree, to a point...

If we don't study it, document it and share it, somebody else will study it, exploit it and enslave us with it. Thanks Google.

[321lawc]

@ramptondayrelease You don't think you're already enslaved? Where have you been the last million years

[ramptondayrelease]

@321lawc Dont get me wrong..

studying common law woke me up.

9/11 woke me up 7/7 too...

i should have said 'further enslave us'

[elpresidio]

Anybody who can recommend current books on Strong AI or Artificial General Intelligence which doesn't go too heavily into math? I see there is a book called Artificial General Intelligence 2008 which you can preview on Google Books but there seems to be all that math that's just flying over my head.

[rdflavaa]

Check out work by Roger De Souza Eremita, tackling exactly the abstract. placing importance on environmental richness. Good video though, loads of ai dreamist lose courage where it comes to Strong AI.

[stubert311]

meta knowledge representation would be a better therm than proto knowledge

[drgutman]

well, finally someone is going the right way. although i believe that they underestimate the speech interaction problem ... they stick too much to the idea that an artificial intelligence must be similar to humans ... same mistake that Turing made when he thought the test ... actually is not his mistake, is the mistake of the people that put the prize up.

[DJLorenzen]

check jeff hawkins ted talk about artificial intelligence...or real intelligence as he likes to call it

it seems to me that jeff is WAY closer to the cracking of the AI problem, and in a much simpler and elegant way.

[thewornoutthong]

What a pitty the audio is shit..

[nameofthepen]

Did this guy see Terminator 1 & 2 yet?

[mrfireclaw]

i think he the right track but work on human interaction alot more then doing
