Actually in AI the most influential version of Bayesianism is that of
Judea Pearl, which is "subjective" though not in the full sense of the
term as it means in history. All the other more traditional versions
have much less impact.

Hmm. My impression is that to whatever extent AGI projects use bayesian
reasoning, they usually do so in a way that satisfies the tenets of
objective/logical bayesianism. I hope you understand I mean "objective" in
the epistemic and not the physical sense.

I see objective/logical bayesianism embodied in Jaynes' third desiderata
of probabilistic consistency, a principle that I doubt all AGI projects
reject, assuming any do.  Those projects which do allow for any compromise
of that principle, if they exist, would I think be better described as
implementations of subjective rather than objective bayesianism.

Of course this is only according to my understanding of these two schools
of bayesian thought and their differences, which may be different from
yours.
