MY LITTLE AGI PROJECT
Since I started my studies I was interested in AI and creating AGI, thus I tried to learn as much as possible about various AI disciplines, to unify them later. In my spare time, I am working on a Production Rule System with reasoning abilities, which I plan to program/teach for the usage of various AI techniques (such as EA, RL, classification, unsupervised learning...), to evolve and develop the rules and facts in the system. I am interested about your opinion about a system like this.
Your system sounds interesting, although it's not an entire AGI framework. You're on the right track trying to unify various AI approaches (such as planning, reasoning, perception, etc). I have some basic ideas of how to build an AGI, but my project is still in its infancy. I'd welcome other researchers to join my open source project.
My AGI theory is based on the compression of sensory experience, and the basic operation is pattern recognition. Traditional production rule systems may be a bit too limited because they cannot perform probabilistic inference, or statistical pattern recognition.
Right now we're focusing on vision, which turns out to be extremely hard.
Re your analysis of AGI social issues: I think there should be some sort of built-in AGI mechanisms that prevents it from doing harmful things, although the exact form of it is still unclear to me. The folks at SIAI have thought about this issue much more intensely, but I think their vision is a bit over the top.
Secondly I agree that AGI may create more social inequality between those who knows how to exploit AGI and those who are left behind. I'm afraid this is also inevitable. The best we can do is to try to ameliorate such effects. The good side to it is that AGI will be very easy to use because it can understand human language.
