Steve, I basically agree --- I posted the link because it is related to the previous discussion on how to judge/measure the intelligence of a system, not because I like this work (though I do need to know more about it to make confident comment). In general, I believe that we may be able to define an IQ test for AGI, but it should measure what the system can learn over a period, not what the system can do at a given time. For human beings, since we roughly start with the same innate knowledge, it is OK to use "what it can do" to measure "what it can learn". However, such a methodology cannot be used on AI, because, as you said, it is easy to code domain-specific knowledge into the system. As a result, "what it can do" and "what it can learn" are no longer correlated. > And regarding robots, I far prefer the work in > navigation done by Hans Moravec at CMU, the walking humanoid robots in > Japan, and the robot soccer (football) competition. > > These technologies will become excellent peripherals for AGI unless of > course the robot folks develop AGI first. I don't think the robot folks will develop AGI first. It seems that they are still mostly working on the low-level domain-specific details.
