Artificial intelligence for the general cardiologist

A Foundational Architecture for Artificial General Intelligence

Implementing and fleshing out a number of psychological and neuroscience theories of cognition, the LIDA conceptual model aims at being a cognitive “theory of everything.” With modules or processes for perception, working memory, episodic memories, “consciousness,” procedural memory, action selection, perceptual learning, episodic learning, deliberation, volition, and non-routine problem solvin...

Self-Regulating Artificial General Intelligence

This paper examines the paperclip apocalypse concern for artificial general intelligence. This arises when a superintelligent AI with a simple goal (ie., producing paperclips) accumulates power so that all resources are devoted towards that goal and are unavailable for any other use. Conditions are provided under which a paper apocalypse can arise but the model also shows that, under certain ar...

Artificial Intelligence: A General Survey

Risks of general artificial intelligence

The papers in this special volume of the Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Artificial Intelligence are the outcome of a conference on the ‘Impacts and Risks of Artificial General Intelligence’ (AGI-Impacts) that took place at the University of Oxford, St Anne’s College, on 10 and 11 December 2012 – jointly with the fifth annual conference on ‘Artificial General Intelligence’ (AGI-12). The...

Facets of Artificial General Intelligence

We argue that time has come for a serious endeavor to work towards artificial general intelligence (AGI). This positive assessment of the very possibility of AGI has partially its roots in the development of new methodological achievements in the AI area, like new learning paradigms and new integration techniques for different methodologies. The article sketches some of these methods as prototy...
