…nted in the literature previously, including the work of others reviewed in Chapter 4. It covers all the key aspects of human intelligence, and explains how they interoperate and how they can be implemented in digital computer software. Part 1 of this work outlines CogPrime at a...

…store directly; b. Uncertain logic is a good way to handle declarative knowledge. To deal with the prob- lems facing a human-level AGI, an uncertain logic must integrate imprecise probability and fuzziness with a broad scope of logical constructs. PLN is one good realization. c...

…thm, structure or idea underlying general intelligence. The CogPrime approach is based on the intuition that to achieve human-level, roughly human- like general intelligence based on feasible computational resources, one needs an appropriate heterogeneous combination of algorithm...

… moral framework for its ongoing direction. To know how best to care for patients, we need to know something about what human flourishing entails and how medicine can contribute to it. Medical science is less helpful here than one might hope. Science facilitates the sort of reli...

… place. Western countries at the technological frontier consistently get the highest scores in indexes of democracy and human rights, while many backward strongman states are at the bottom, routinely jailing or killing government critics. The lack of a correlation between technol...

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...

… 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 at that point, although human depreciation begins at essentially zero. Self-invested work continues as an im...

might sound like a risk, human understanding comes with its own limits; engineering design 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 virtuall...

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...

…ct, a growing body of scientific evidence points to the conclusion that optimism may be hardwired by evolution into the human brain. The science of optimism, once scorned as an intellectually suspect province of pep rallies and smiley faces, is opening a new window on the working...

…aced in opposition. This 45-year struggle occurred under the threat of nuclear disaster, which gave it an aspect new in human history, the potential for complete destruction. It was possible to find sober-minded theorists pondering problems like this one: “Let us assume that for...

…es. In your plans, what are the challenges that you foresee? What is the country’s level of readiness to address them? Humans face challenges throughout their lives. Through commitment to proper planning of projects and programmes, and following up on their implementation, chall...
