The key to creating AGI is that general learning is not enough without some meta-level awareness of what is being learning, That meta-awareness does not have to be sophisticated but it has to be able to integrate a learned fact in with other information in such a way to allow the AGI program to have some awareness about the issues surrounding the learning. This is going to create a kind of judgment about what it is learning and how that knowledge may fit into other related knowledge and how that knowledge might be used to continue learning with, at least a little, help from inner direction and insight. You might string some Neural Networks and other Machine Learning methods together to create what I would consider a crude simple judgment, but if the program cannot make any of these connections for itself it will not be capable of any autonomous AGI reasoning. I guess this is a new idea and people do not get what I am talking about. While an AGI program needs a number of other significant features this analysis does help me to understand that it is possible to develop and study simple AGI sub-programs. - Jim Bromer
