State of the Art in Artificial General Intelligence

We list various important AI or AGI projects and we track their progress. We invite Web passim critique of what these projects are doing right and what they could improve on.

As AGI projects mature, their thought-leaders (q.v.) love to announce ambitious and comprehensive RoadMaps towards AGI. With bated breath, the world is waiting for the pre-announced and soon-to-appear RoadMap from the GoodAI Project. Other RoadMaps have come and gone, such as the following.

Now your AGI Project can have its own RoadMap -- either internally or for public astonishment, envy and emulation. Just pick some target AGI goals from the deontic Menu and map out your road to their accomplishment. Take into consideration the skills and desires of your onboard personnel, plus your own perhaps considerable ability to poach promising talent from other AGI Projects or related beehives of computer science/robotics talent. All is fair in love and war, and the race is to the fleet. History does not care who gets there first; History cares who gets there best.

One of the AGI lone mavericks has created a functional Artificial Mind composed of the bare minimum of roughly fifty AGI mind-modules.

All unhappy AGI Projects are unhappy in different ways. All happy AGI Projects follow the deontic menu.

• Computer Vision
  The PriorArt AGI Mind can think in either English or German or Russian -- depending on how it is coded -- but it does not have its own built-in Vision System. Any designated part of your AGI Team could adopt Computer Vision as its major priority. The AI Mind Software is ready to mate with Computer Vision software and hardware. If you ask a PriorArt AGI Mind "What do you see?" its default answer is currently "nothing" because it has no eyes, but the thought-generation modules are ready to accept a simple report from the CV-System of just what it is seeing at the moment, for immediate inclusion in the thought or response being generated, such as, "I SEE A DOG".

• Robotic Embodiment
  The OpenCog people are hard at work putting their AGI designs into robots. Your AGI Team could use a robot to channel motor outputs and sensory inputs to and from your burgeoning AGI software.

Any corporation, any ambitious individual of means, any university, nation or organization may join in the stampede towards Artificial General Intelligence. Just pick from the above deontic menu, or roll your own. Imperium sine fine dedi, quoth the not-so-poetaster.

If you know of any emerging AGI project, please get Banksy to paint a mural about it, or post what you know in one of the usual venues.
