Yeah of course we are very familiar with the concept of a seed AI from online discussions back to 2001 or so, on the AGI and SL4 email lists etc. etc.
The concept is the right one... but bear in mind that a biological seed itself is a very complex system... in my view we are now building the seed (the current version of OpenCog) and it is simple compared to what it will grow into, but still complex for our paltry human minds to grapple with ... The main obstacle we face now, apart from numerous annoying and complex issues of "plumbing" (software scalability, documentation, interfacing with other software systems) and funding developer time, is making backward chaining inference algorithmically scalable via solving the adaptive pruning problem (letting the system identify what patterns have characterized successful inferences in the past, and use these patterns to guide its future inferences, using the inference engine itself to recursively assist with the pattern-identification process). We are having a small workshop here next week in HK to focus on this problem... ben On Sun, May 7, 2017 at 10:38 PM, Alex <[email protected]> wrote: > In the depths of the Web I have found such notions as "seed AI" and > "bootstraping self-improving AI" - > http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877050914015403 this is > exactly the same idea what I am trying to pursue, but - contrary to others - > I am trying to do this with OpenCog. > > BTW, there is great BICA society and Elsevier issues quite prominent > (indexed) journal Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures.
