If we like to* make the AGI project real science *we need to build a conscious (intelligent) machine. That's the path http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/2.1.2286.5608 <https://www.researchgate.net/go.Deref.html?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.13140%2F2.1.2286.5608> or or http://arxiv.org/abs/1411.5224 It's far beyond digital computation and we need to collaborate with biologists, cognitive scientists,....
