I guess general intellgence capabilities are ones that allows an intelligence to tackle a wide range of challenges for which it has no specialised capability. My concern is not that statistically the whole mind system shows that more and more of the system is devoted to specialisation but rather that immense specialisation might lead to an atrophication of the mechanisms that allow for general intelligence (if the GI facilityies are not used much as the SI modules are added the system might just quietly reallocate the resources the GI capabilities were using). Another concern is that the 'perspective' of the AGIs intelligence and it ethical structure might get seriously skewed so that, despite having growing mind power, the articial super-intelligence will be come less and less able to orientate an think/emote usefully in the areas outside its specialisation. In otherwords the AGI moving to super-intelligent ASI might find that it has to use its specialised modeules to think about new issues with all the issues of bias and unsuitabllity that are inherent in that. >From what others have said the human brain seems to exhibit this behaviour - both dynamically - specialists trying to think about general issues via their areas of professional specialisation (try getting generals to think about how to pro-actively make peace happen) - and also statically - it seems that humans (and other animals) are also forced to use specialist hardwired units of their brain and apply them to new uses.
