“An unknown, but potentially large, fraction of animal and human intelligence is a direct consequence of the perceptual and physical richness of our environment, and is unlikely to arise without it”. – John Locke (1632-1704) As we already know, AGI is probably the hardest problem mankind can work on and we do not have a… Continue reading We can brute force AGI with a realistic physics simulator

What do all these different versions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) mean?
There are many variations of the word AI thrown around and I just want to clarify the differences. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) AGI is the goal of building AI systems. Humans want to build Artificial General Intelligences that can do a wide variety of tasks just like humans can do. This has been the goal… Continue reading What do all these different versions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) mean?

Big Unsolved areas in artificial intelligence and AGI
Turning any one of the ideas listed below into computer algorithms would improve our understanding of the mind and bring us closer to AGI. how the mind focuses and can have attention on specific things how the mind is able to store invariant amodel representations of concepts how the mind can time travel how the… Continue reading Big Unsolved areas in artificial intelligence and AGI
Ideas to encourage more people to work on AGI
AGI is a hard problem, so there are not a lot of people working on it. The majority of people working on it are in universities or research institutes. Some random ideas to encourage people to work on AGI: publish a book on AGI create an integrated school for teaching AI related courses (neuroscience, computer… Continue reading Ideas to encourage more people to work on AGI
A computational definition of understanding
Computer scientists and researchers constantly argue on whether a computer can ever understand anything like humans. One of the main reasons for the confusion is because the definition of “to understand” is not clear enough to implement in a computer.From the Merrimack dictionary, “To Understand ” means: to know the meaning of (something, such as… Continue reading A computational definition of understanding
The Cognitive Animal Farm
I’ve had this idea in my mind for many years to build a new type of place where animals can live. I call it the “Cognitive Animal Farm”. It is not really a farm, it is half science lab and half sanctuary where animals can live. I would imagine the types of animals would be… Continue reading The Cognitive Animal Farm
Autonomous vehicles will NOT bring us true Artificial Intelligence
There is a fierce debate on whether autonomous vehicles are possible because driving requires all the sophistication of human intelligence. The argument is there are too many variables and situations that require human level intelligence, therefore either we never get autonomous vehicles or we solve artificial general intelligence (AGI). We will absolutely have autonomous vehicles… Continue reading Autonomous vehicles will NOT bring us true Artificial Intelligence
Heuristics to know if we have reached true human level artificial intelligence
The Turing test is the main test we use to test computer intelligence, and its not very good. There are other heuristics we can use to know if a computer system has reached human level intelligence: it can recognize itself versus the environment. It can recognize the concept of “I”, the self. It most likely… Continue reading Heuristics to know if we have reached true human level artificial intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is just a marketing term
Everyday we hear of a new company or product that has Artificial Intelligence (AI) in it. Cars with AI, calculators with AI, food kits with AI, cameras with AI, cell phones with AI, cups with AI, kitchens with AI, microwaves with AI, and the list keeps growing. What exactly are these companies adding? Most of… Continue reading Artificial Intelligence is just a marketing term
