Well, we have attempted to use sound software engineering principles to architect the OpenCog framework, with a view toward making it usable for prototyping speculative AI ideas and ultimately building scalable, robust, mature AGI systems as well But, we are fairly confident of our overall

I've been experimenting with extending OOP to potentially implement functionality that could make a particular AGI design easier to build. The problem with SE is that it brings along much baggage that can totally obscure AGI thinking. Many AGI people and AI people are automatic top of the

At the current time, almost all AGI projects are still working on conceptual design issues, and the systems developed are just prototypes, so software engineering is not that much relevant. In the future, when most of the theoretical problems have been solved, especially when it becomes clear that
