…a roadmap does not give a highly rigorous, objective way of assessing the percentage of progress toward the end-goal of human-level AGI. However, it gives a much better sense of progress than one would have otherwise. For instance, if an AGI system performed well on diverse metri...

…ding justifications for what we can’t explain or wish to explain in a different way. This is an adaptive feature of the human mind, one that is uniquely human. But this same feature can be used to justify immoral and atrocious behaviors, the kind that lead to excessive harms. Whe...

…inistic. This book lays out the options — the chinks — that would allow free will to enter our Universe. To understand human thinking we would really like to look inside a working human brain. We can’t do this yet. All we can do is observe minds at work when they communicate wit...
