There is always a well-known solution to every human problem - neat, plausible, and wrong.

  • The term AGI was first used in 1997 by Mark Avrum Gubrud in an article named ‘Nanotechnology and international security’

    By advanced artificial general intelligence, I mean AI systems that rival or surpass the human brain in complexity and speed, that can acquire, manipulate and reason with general knowledge, and that are usable in essentially any phase of industrial or military operations where a human intelligence would otherwise be needed. Such systems may be modeled on the human brain, but they do not necessarily have to be, and they do not have to be “conscious” or possess any other competence that is not strictly relevant to their application. What matters is that such systems can be used to replace human brains in tasks ranging from organizing and running a mine or a factory to piloting an airplane, analyzing intelligence data or planning a battle.







  • Bold claim considering there is no agreed upon definition on what we even mean by the term intelligence.

    • The ability to acquire, understand, and use knowledge.
    • the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations
    • the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one’s environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (such as tests)
    • the act of understanding
    • the ability to learn, understand, and make judgments or have opinions that are based on reason
    • It can be described as the ability to perceive or infer information; and to retain it as knowledge to be applied to adaptive behaviors within an environment or context.
