[agi] AGI Taxonomy

2007-05-09 Thread John G. Rose
Is there a standard taxonomy of AGI that is referred to when talking about different AGIs or near AGIs? Saying that a software is an AGI or not an AGI is not descriptive enough. There are probably very few AGIs but many close AGIs and then many, many AIs. Software programs are like the plant

There's certainly no standard... at http://www.agiri.org/wiki/index.php?title=AGI_Projects I used 3 crude categories -- Neural net based -- Logic based -- Integrative ;-) On 5/9/07, John G. Rose [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there a standard taxonomy of AGI that is referred to when talking

In Beyond AI I have a taxonomy (and Kurzweil picked that chapter, among others, to post on his site). in brief: Hypohuman AI -- below human ability and under human control Diahuman AI -- somewhere in the human range (which is large!) Epihuman AI -- smarter/more capable than human, but equivalent

My feeling is that it is better to classify the AGI projects alone multiple dimensions, rather than a single one. 1. Their exact goal (or their working definition of intelligence). On this aspect, I've tried to put them into 5 groups: * structure (e.g., to build brain model) * behavior

I don't think intelligence can be measured that easily on a one dimensional axis, with a dot marking the intelligence of humans. If you look at all the possible intelligences, not just the organic ones we know of, measuring intelligence becomes extremely difficult. Measuring the intelligence of

I work very hard to produce the exact same answer to the same question. If some humans don't actually do that, then they are just exhibiting the flaws that exist in our design. This is not to be confused with answering better over time, based on more and better information. The exact same

Notice that I didn't use the word intelligence -- the key issue here is when we can expect the existence of AGI to make a significant difference in the world. Computers have had a big impact because they have abilities well beyond those of humans in certain limited areas. Of course, so did
