I have updated my AGI proposal to include a cost estimate, funding model, and specific protocol details. Any comments are appreciated.
A Proposed Design for Distributed Artificial General Intelligence Version 2.0 By Matt Mahoney, Oct. 10, 2008 Abstract This document describes a proposed design for a globally distributed artificial general intelligence (AGI) for the purpose of automating the world economy. The estimated value is on the order of US $1 quadrillion. The cost of a solution would be of the same order if we assume a million-fold decrease in the costs of computation, memory, and bandwidth, solutions to the natural language, speech, and vision problems, and an environment of pervasive public surveillance. The high cost implies decentralized ownership and a funding model that rewards intelligence and usefulness in a hostile environment where information has negative value and owners compete for attention, reputation, and resources. The proposed solution is called competitive message routing (CMR). To a human user or a specialized intelligent server, CMR is a content-searchable message pool to which anyone may post. AGI is achieved by routing messages to the right specialists. CMR is implemented as a peer to peer network where incoming messages are cached, matched to stored messages, and each is forwarded to the sources of the other message. A specific protocol is proposed, defining a message format, sender authentication, and transport over existing internet protocols. http://www.mattmahoney.net/agi2.html -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=114414975-3c8e69 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
