Colin, Thanks. Do you have access to any of the full articles? I can't make too informed comments about the quality of work of all the guys writing for this journal, but they're certainly raising v. important questions - and this journal appears to have been unjustly ignored by this group.
Sloman, for example, seems to be exploring again the idea of a metaprogram (or I'd say, "general program" vs "specialist program"), wh. is the core of AGI, as Ben appears to be only v. recently starting to acknowledge: "A methodology for making progress is summarised and a novel requirement proposed for a theory of how human minds work: the theory should support a single generic design for a learning, developing system" From: Colin Hales Sent: Friday, June 25, 2010 4:30 AM To: agi Subject: Re: [agi] The problem with AGI per Sloman Not sure if this might be fodder for the discussion. The International Journal of Machine Consciousness (IJMC) has just issued Vol 2 #1 here: http://www.worldscinet.com/ijmc/02/0201/S17938430100201.html It has a Sloman article and invited commentary on it. cheers colin hales agi | Archives | Modify Your Subscription ------------------------------------------- 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=8660244-6e7fb59c Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
