I like this editorial but I'm not sure "Narrow AGI" is the best label. At the moment I don't have a better name for it though. I mean, I agree in principle but it's like somebody saying "X is a liberal conservative." X might really be so, but it might be that... oh hell, why don't we just call it "AI"?
Really, all technology performs some function. A function is kind of intrinsically narrow. Real estate sales, radio advertising, wire transfer, musical composition...In that light, all technology is narrow for its function. The difficulty with AGI is: it doesn't understand, reason, and judge as a human can, at a human level. But I think that a narrow AGI app is still a narrow function! Thus narrow AGI is what is going on, a narrow function because all technology is basically narrow, we need it to do something specific. What narrow AI is, is really just a lot better good old fashioned programs that do something better at a human level. My opinion is a "narrow AGI" would need: 1) increased common sense, the ability to form rudimentary understanding, reasoning, and judgining pushing the boundary toward human level 2) can perform some function, some narrow function (all functions are narrow it seems) very well, approaching continually human level competence 3) Can handle wide variations in cases (DL level fuzzy pattern matching, patternism) 4) USES A COMMON BASE WITH OTHER NARROW AGIs which gets more competent 5) Becomes increasingly easier to specialize Mike A On 8/1/19, Costi Dumitrescu <[email protected]> wrote: > So Mars gets conquered by AI robots.
