I believe it will not happen until we have a firm definition and understanding of what intelligence is. Basic intuition and experience --- you can't build/create that which you do not understand. That being said, I see no reason to believe it is possible to achieve AGI using digital binary silicon gate logic. The only working examples we have of intelligence are analog and organic.

> I believe it will not happen until we have a firm definition and understanding of what intelligence is. It's quite possible that A(G)I systems will be built that outperform humans at various tasks, before our (full) understanding of "how?", catches up. More likely: the list of tasks that AI systems can do better than humans, keeps growing. Yesterday it was playing chess, today it's 'playing' with language, tomorrow it serves as your (mental) sidekick, does your shopping, or advances arts & science. I'm convinced we'll home in on a better grasp of what "general intelligence" is (in essence). How it emerges from neural nets or biological brains. And that things like personality, skills, moods, memories, creativity, etc etc are ultimately the result of structure, scale, the way a brain (biological or artificial) is connected to its environment, and learning. Yes, this may remove some of the 'magic' that makes us humans. Or: highten our appreciation of the marvel that (biological) brains are.

  So would you eat a wild mushroom if an AI classification app said it was OK?
