I agree. So let me use a better definition:
If you can find a single finite domain where your AGI fails, it is no AGI. The rules of chess imply that it is finite. But of course even this is a rather theoretical definition. What does an AGI help if it needs billions of years with billions of resources to solve a problem? Nothing. Thus the comparison with human abilities is probably the best way what first AGI should be able to do. Chess is possible for children. So chess is not so bad as a milestone. - Matthias Von: Ben Goertzel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Freitag, 24.

AGI must be able to discover regularities of all kind in all domains. If you can find a single domain where your AGI fails, it is no AGI. According to this definition **no finite computational system can be an AGI**, so this is definition obviously overly strong for any practical purposes E.g. according to this, AIXI (with infinite computational power) but not AIXItl would have general intelligence, because the latter can only find regularities expressible using programs of length bounded by l and runtime bounded by t Unfortunately, the pragmatic notion of AGI we need to use as researchers is not as simple as the above ... but fortunately, it's more achievable ;-) One could view the pragmatic task of AGI as being able to discover all regularities expressible as programs with length bounded by l and runtime bounded by t ... [and one can add a restriction about the resources used to make this discover], but the thing is, this depends highly on the underlying computational model, which then can be used to encode some significant "domain bias." -- Ben G _____ agi | <https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now> Archives <https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/> | <https://www.listbox.com/member/?&; 7> Modify Your Subscription <http://www.listbox.com> ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=117534816-b15a34 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
