Allow me to briefly sketch an axiomatic approach to intelligence of the highest order: real time, "stream" intelligence. As much as it is desirable to spawn processes and logical inferences in Lisp and Prolog-like systems in the pursuit of "better approximations of reality", there is no escaping the many charms and attractions of the more streamlined processes typical of biological nervous systems and electronics: input-to-output in dt, as quickly as possible.
StreamAI would be a strong contender in a lot of domains that use intelligent agents, including artificial life, financial decision making and warfare. But there is no reason, and possibly no path, to fall into the narrow-AI trap if the design is from the beginning multimodal and ambitious. There is no reason why a financial streamAgent would not look for clues in the faces on Bloomberg TV in addition to the Dow Jones ticker. One architectural problem that could perhaps be solved in a general way would be how to incorporate lengthier "thought processes" in StreamAI, two obvious candidates would be "inlining" (expanding programs with some degree of parallelism into parallel "hardware") and "externalizing", ie calling an external prolog or whatever and "knowing what to do" while waiting for an answer. I would argue that human chess expertise is first a form of inlining, where a concept like "king safety" has been learned together with "micro-variations", doing instant checks on the ability of certain lines and squares been used for an immediate attack on the king, and then "externalized", passed to the frontal cortex for a more proper wider and deeper analysis tree. If you are thinking there is no reason to handicap your AGI quest by putting all of your eggs in one stream, let me remind you that the ever expanding range of stream processors, whether GPUs, FPGAs or whatever are making StreamAI both possible and necessary.
