"Only a small community has concentratedon general intelligence. No
one has tried to make a thinking machine . . . The bottom line is
that we really haven't progressed too far toward a truly
intelligent machine. We have collections of dumb specialists in
small domains; the true majesty of general intelligence still
awaits our attack. . . . We have got to get back to the deepest
questions of AI and general intelligence. . . " -MarvinMinsky as
interviewed in Hal's Legacy, edited by David Stork, 2000. Our goal
in creating this edited volume has been to ?ll an apparent gap in
the scienti?c literature, by providing a coherent presentation of a
body of contemporary research that, in spite of its integral
importance, has hitherto kept a very low pro?le within the
scienti?c and intellectual community. This body of work has not
been given a name before; in this book we christen it "Arti?cial
General Intelligence" (AGI). What distinguishes AGI work from
run-of-the-mill "arti?cial intelligence" research is that it is
explicitly focused on engineering general intelligence in the short
term. We have been active researchers in the AGI ?eld for many
years, and it has been a pleasure to gather together papers from
our colleagues working on related ideas from their own
perspectives. In the Introduction we give a conceptual overview of
the AGI ?eld, and also summarize and interrelate the key ideas of
the papers in the subsequent chapters.
