I agree that AI should be about principles of general intelligence, not algorithms for achieving specific capabilities. At least, I agree it must START with these principles. If specialized algorithms then come to play a role within a principled AGI framework, that's quite different than placing the specialized algorithms in a central role. I also think that, in order to achieve AI with a high degree of generality of scope, it's necessary to take a "principles of mind" rather than "capability-oriented algorithms" point of view. And as Pei suggests, this is a very major reason why mainstream AI research has made so very little progress toward AGI... -- Ben ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/
