Mapping the Landscape of Human‐Level Artificial General Intelligence

Abstract

■ We present the broad outlines of a roadmap toward human-level artificial general intelligence (henceforth, AGI). We begin by discussing AGI in general, adopting a pragmatic goal for its attainment and a necessary foundation of characteristics and requirements. An initial capability landscape will be presented, drawing on major themes from developmental psychology and illuminated by mathematical, physiological, and information-processing perspectives. The challenge of identifying appropriate tasks and environments for measuring AGI will be addressed, and seven scenarios will be presented as milestones suggesting a roadmap across the AGI landscape along with directions for future research and collaboration.This article is the result of an ongoing collaborative effort by the coauthors, preceding and during the AGI Roadmap Workshop held at the University of Of course, this is far from the first attempt to plot a course toward humanlevel AGI: arguably this was the goal of the founders of the field of artificial intelligence in the 1950s, and has been pursued by a steady stream of AI researchers since, even as the majority of the AI field has focused its attention on more narrow, specific subgoals. The ideas presented here build on the ideas of others in innumerable ways, but to review the history of AI

Artificial General Intelligence: Concept, State of the Art, and Future Prospects

“…The following list of competencies was assembled at the 2009 AGI Roadmap Workshop (Adams et al, 2012) via a group of 12 experts, including AGI researchers and psychologists, based on a review of the AI and psychology literatures. The list is presented as a list of broad areas of capability, each one then subdivided into specific sub-areas:…”

“…• the Virtual World Turing Test occurring in an online virtual world, where the AGI and the human controls are controlling avatars (this is inclusive of the standard Turing Test if one assumes the avatars can use language) (Adams et al, 2012).…”

“…• the Robot University Student Test, where an AGI has to obtain a college degree at an physical university, carrying out the same communications with the professors and the other students as a human student would, and also moving about the campus and handling relevant physical objects in a sufficient manner to complete the coursework (Adams et al, 2012).…”

“…(this may be refined to a Nobel Prize Test, where the AGI has do original scientific research that wins a Nobel Prize) (Adams et al, 2012).…”

Future Progress in Artificial Intelligence: A Survey of Expert Opinion

“…This vision of general AI has now become merely a long-term guiding idea for most current AI research, which focuses on specific scientific and engineering problems and maintains a distance to the cognitive sciences. A small minority believe the moment has come to pursue general AI directly as a technical aim with the traditional methods -these typically use the label 'artificial general intelligence' (AGI) (see Adams et al, 2012). If general AI were to be achieved, this might also lead to superintelligence: "We can tentatively define a superintelligence as any intellect that greatly exceeds the cognitive performance of humans in virtually all domains of interest."…”
