None, because we have not defined what AGI is. One definition of AGI is passing the Turing test. That will not happen. A machine can just as easily fail by being too smart, too fast, or too obedient, as it can by being not smart enough. Machines have been smarter than humans in some areas and less smart in others for the last 50 years. Even a machine that is superior to human intellect in every conceivable way would not be mistaken for human. There is no economic incentive to dumb down a machine just to duplicate human limitations. If AGI is not the Turing test, then what is it? What test do you propose? Without a definition, we should stop calling it AGI and focus on the problems for which machines are still inferior to humans, such as language or vision. -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=4007604&user_secret=8eb45b07
