What Is Artificial General Intelligence?Clarifying The Goal For Engineering & Evaluation
Mark R. Waser
Wang’s 5 Definitions of AI
• Structure – neurons working in parallel (based on brain architecture)
• Behavior – acts like a human being (based on human psychology/Turing test)
• Capability – has the ability to solve problems (narrow AI)
• Function – has cognitive functions similar to that of humans (searching, reasoning, planning, etc.)
• Principle – operates according to a simple fundamental rational or optimal principle
Wang’s 5 Definitions (revised)
Architectures• Structure – brain architecture• Function – architecture of the mind• Principle – single rational problem solving
theory/architecture
Emergent Properties• Capability – what it can do• Behavior – what it actually does do

What do WE WANT?
What it IS (architecture)
What it CAN do (capability)
What it DOES do (behavior)

What is OUR GOAL in CREATING AGI?
Intelligence = problem solving & goal achieving
Solve all of humanity’s problems
ORIs humanity
one of the problems to be solved?

What is the difference betweenan intelligent tool and an entity?
To CREATE an ENTITY
with the ability and desire to
cooperateto solve problems, achieve goalsand improve life for everyone

Baar’s Global Workspace Theory
• Most of cognition is implemented by a multitude of small, local, special purpose processes, that are almost always unconscious
• Coalitions of these processes compete, whenever necessary, for conscious attention (access to a limited capacity global workspace)
• Attention then serves as an INTEGRATION POINT that allows us to deal with novel or challenging situations that cannot be dealt with efficiently, or at all by local, routine, unconscious processes
(Also Perlis 2008)
Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations
which we can perform without thinking about them.
