Building an artificial general intelligence, like any other difficult project, can only be successfully completed under the right environmental conditions. In order to make substantial progress on the problem of AGI, we will need to ensure that the interests of the AGI research community favor the production of a complete, working theory of general intelligence, and simultaneously avoid the var...

Out of fear that artificial general intelligence (AGI) might pose a future risk to human existence, some have suggested slowing or stopping AGI research, to allow time for theoretical work to guarantee its safety. Since an AGI system will necessarily be a complex closed-loop learning controller that lives and works in semi-stochastic environments, its behaviors are not fully determined by its d...

Perceptual time is a critical aspect of how humans (and probably animals too) perceive the world. It underlies general intelligence, particularly where that general intelligence is about interacting with the world on an everyday basis. We discuss what is meant by the perceptual instant, and how this may be important for (artificial and real) general intelligence. Lastly, we briefly discuss how ...

This chapter explores the concept of “artificial general intelligence” (AGI) – its nature, importance, and how best to achieve it. Our theoretical model posits that general intelligence comprises a limited number of distinct, yet highly integrated, foundational functional components. Successful implementation of this model will yield a highly adaptive, general-purpose system that can autonomous...

Kanazawa (2004a) proposes that the human brain may have difficulty comprehending entities and situations that did not exist in the ancestral environment, and, as one empirical demonstration of this Savanna Principle, Kanazawa (2002) shows that people who watch certain types of TV shows are more satisfied with their friendships, suggesting that they may have difficulty distinguishing TV characte...

the aim of the present research was to investigate the relationship between the components of organizational intelligence and organizational culture in physical education general office and offices in east azerbaijan province. the present research was a descriptive – correlation one and performed as a field. the statistical population consisted of the staff of physical education general office ...
