It's as if you think you could write a self improving program or a universal learning algorithm or discover the non physical basis of consciousness or quantum magic or something. The reason these companies have made progress in narrow AI is they have a trillion dollars to throw at the problem. The ROI for AGI is world GDP divided by interest rates, about $1 quadrillion. AGI is lots of narrow AI put together. It's an engineering problem. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Te92a6e833f53a844-M549dd7ac9f7011e004b04b5f Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
