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 it IS (architecture)
What it CAN do (capability)
What it DOES do (behavior)
What do WE WANT?
CAPABILITY and BEHAVIOR
What is OUR GOAL in CREATING AGI?
Intelligence = problem solving
& goal achieving
Solve all of humanity’s problems
OR
Is humanity
one of the problems to be solved?
FRIEND
SLAVE?
TOOL
ENTITY
What is the difference between
an intelligent tool and an entity?
ENEMY
What is OUR GOAL in CREATING AGI?
To CREATE an ENTITY
with the ability and desire to
cooperate
to solve problems, achieve goals
and improve life for everyone
Planning/Problem-Solving
Intelligence
How do we get there?

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.
-- Alfred North Whitehead
