My 2008 design for distributed AGI. http://mattmahoney.net/agi2.html
The idea is to have a lot of narrow AI experts and a network for routing messages to the right ones, so that to the user it appears as one big expert on all topics. Because of the high cost (USD $1 quadrillion, or 15 years world GDP), it will require a global collaborative effort among billions of self interested users and developers. Peers compete for attention, reputation, and trust in a hostile environment in exchange for advertising. It will be paid for by automating human labor. The design is based on my earlier thesis which showed that a decentralized database was scalable (about O(n log n) storage and O(log n) access and update times) and robust when peers accepted and answered messages similar to their local content, where "similar" means high mutual information estimated by text compression. Messages containing human readable text are cryptographically signed and dated, and cannot be modified or deleted from the global pool once posted. There is no distinction between queries and answers. When you post a message you get similar messages in response. Peers compete to give you responses that are useful and reliable and to block spam in order to increase their ad revenue. I wrote this in 2008, before Alexa, smart phones, social media, and blockchain. Still, nothing like this exists. Either everyone has a copy, which doesn't scale (e.g. Usenet, Bitcoin, Tor), or everyone goes through a central authority, with the potential for censorship (e.g. banks, Google, Facebook).
