The LIDA Model as a Foundational Architecture for AGI

چکیده
Artificial intelligence (AI) initially aimed at creating “thinking machines,” that is, computer systems having human level general intelligence. However, AI research has until recently focused on creating intelligent, but highly domain-specific, systems. Currently, researchers are again undertaking the original challenge of creating AI systems (agents) capable of human-level intelligence, or “artificial general intelligence” (AGI). In this chapter, we will argue that Learning Intelligent Distribution Agent (LIDA), which implements Baars’ Global Workspace Theory (GWT), may be suitable as an underlying cognitive architecture on which others might build an AGI. Our arguments rely mostly on an analysis of how LIDA satisfies Sun’s “desiderata for cognitive architectures” as well as Newell’s “test for a theory of cognition.” Finally, we measure LIDA against the architectural features listed in the BICA Table of Implemented Cognitive Architectures, as well as to the anticipated needs of AGI developers.

A Foundational Architecture for Artificial General Intelligence
Implementing and fleshing out a number of psychological and neuroscience theories of cognition, the LIDA conceptual model aims at being a cognitive “theory of everything.” With modules or processes for perception, working memory, episodic memories, “consciousness,” procedural memory, action selection, perceptual learning, episodic learning, deliberation, volition, and non-routine problem solvin...
متن کاملThe LIDA Framework as a General Tool for AGI
Intelligent software agents aiming for general intelligence are likely to be exceedingly complex systems and, as such, will be difficult to implement and to customize. Frameworks have been applied successfully in large-scale software engineering applications. A framework constitutes the skeleton of the application, capturing its generic functionality. Frameworks are powerful as they promote cod...

default information; similar information from the past. We propose that similar sources are used to make sense of sparse data while modeling other minds. In this paper, we will use a cognitive model called LIDA (Franklin 2007), derived from Global Workspace Theory (Baars 1988, 1997) and based on recent theories from psychology, neuroscience and cognitive science, to develop our hypothesis of th...
متن کاملCortical Learning Algorithms with Predictive Coding for a Systems-Level Cognitive Architecture
Human-level intelligent agents must autonomously navigate complex, dynamic, uncertain environments with bounded time and memory. This requires that they continually update a hierarchical, dynamic, probabilistic (uncertain) internal model of their current situation, via approximate Bayesian inference, incorporating both the sensory data and a generative model of its causes. Such modeling require...
متن کاملConceptual Commitments of the LIDA Model of Cognition
Significant debate on fundamental issues remains in the subfields of cognitive science, including perception, memory, attention, action selection, learning, and others. Psychology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence each contribute alternative and sometimes conflicting perspectives on the supervening problem of artificial general intelligence (AGI). Current efforts toward a broad-based, ...
