108 6 A Brief Overview of CogPrime top-level goals will be simple things such as pleasing the teacher, learning new information and skills, and protecting the robot’s body. Figure 6.3 shows part of the architecture via which cognitive processes interact with each other, via comm...
…storic people, at least, were barely people. Both before and after becoming perfectly human both physiologically and in their mental potential, they were monstrously inhuman in the actual content of their thoughts. I’m not referring to their crimes or even their cruelty as such:...
234 12 The Engineering and Development of Ethics The ideal in this regard would be a system like Cyc [LG90] with a fully explicit logic-based knowledge representation based on a standard ontology — in this case, every Cyc instance would have a relatively easy time understanding...
1.4 The Secret Sauce 3 1.3 CogPrime The AGI design presented here has not previously been granted a name independently of its particular software implementations, but for the purposes of this book it needs one, so we’ve christened it CogPrime . This fits with the name “OpenCogP...
communities enfolded the care of the sick into a communal life of liturgy and prayer. This is not to say that the substantively irreligious lack proper motivation to practice medicine. It is to say that an animating vision for medicine as a good and worthy activity seems to requi...
possibility that machines threaten a new fascism must be weighed against the vigor of the liberal ideas, institutions, and norms that Wiener championed throughout the book. The flaw in today’s dystopian prophecies is that they disregard the existence of these norms and institutio...
110 Are the Androids Dreaming Yet? Frogs Eyes are Very Sensitive The processing power of the eye is staggering. The human retina has about 120 million rods and 7 million cones, giving it an average resolution of 10,000 by 10,000 pixels. Each rod is sensitive to individual photo...
Gorillas can crawl after 2 months, and build their own nests after 2.5 years. They leave their mothers at 3-4 years. Human children are pretty much useless during the first 10-12 years, but during each phase, their brains have the opportunity to encounter many times as much train...
Understanding 57 “The human mind tends to look for clear linear relationships, we like solutions that are close to the problem in time and space and make sense when we think about it quickly, unfortunately, those simple solutions are usually wrong and come from acting on a compl...
My model is the same as Ben-Porath’s from birth to independence. All consumption and all work are invested, for modeling purposes, until schooling ends at full-time job entry. I model this transition at age 20. Pay, realized work, human depreciation and pure consumption all begin...
…sign is littered with what appeared to be good insights that have had bad consequences. Declarative design rests on all the advances in AI, plus the improving fidelity of simulations to virtually test designs. The mother of all design problems is the one that resulted in us. The...

17.2 Measuring Incremental Progress Toward Human-Level AGI 311 — Example task: Ask the robot about events that occurred at times when it got partic- ularly much, or particularly little, reward for its actions; it should be able to answer simple questions about these, with signif...
