I don't think I've seen a discussion on this mailing list yet about Pearl's hypothesis that causal inference is the key to AGI. His breakthroughs on causation have been in use for almost 2 decades. The new Book of Why, other than being the most accessible presentation of these ideas to a broader audience, is interesting in that it expressly goes into applying causal calculus to AGI.
