OK. so you're saying: AGI is solving problems where you have to *devise* a method of solution/solving the problem and is that devising in effect or actually/formally? - **
vs narrow AI wh. is where you *apply* a pre-existing method of solution/solving the problem ? And are you happy with: AGI is about devising *one-off* methods of problemsolving (that only apply to the individual problem, and cannot be re-used - at least not in their totality) vs narrow AI is about applying pre-existing *general* methods of problemsolving (applicable to whole classes of problems)?

This is AGI, not AGH (artificial godhead), though AGH could be an unintended consequence ;). So I would rephrase "solving any problem" as being able to come up with reasonable approaches and strategies to any problem (just as humans are able to do).

From: rob levy Sent: Monday, July 19, 2010 1:26 PM To: agi Subject: Re: [agi] Of definitions and tests of AGI However, I see that there are no valid definitions of AGI that explain what AGI is generally , and why these tests are indeed AGI. Google - there are v. few defs. of AGI or Strong AI, period. I like Fogel's idea that intelligence is the ability to "solve the problem of how to solve problems" in new and changing environments. I don't think Fogel's method accomplishes this, but the goal he expresses seems to be the goal of AGI as I understand it.
