AGI, by definition, in its name Artificial General Intelligence implies / directly states that this type of AI is not some dumb AI that requires training for all its knowledge, a general intelligence merely needs to be taught how to count, the basic rules of logic, and the basic rules of a single human language. From those basics all derivable logical human sciences will be rediscovered by that AGI and our next job is synchronizing with it our names for all the phenomenon that the AGI had to name on its own when that AGI self developed all the logical ramifications of our basics.
What is that? What could merely require light elementary education and then it takes off and self improves to match and surpass us? That would be artificial comprehension, something we've not even scratched. AI and trained algorithms are "universal solvers" given enough data, This AGI would be something different, this is understanding, comprehending. Instantaneous decomposition of observations for assessment of plausibility, and then recombination for assessment of combination plausibility - all continual and instant for assessment of personal safety: all that happens in people continually while awake. Be that monitoring of personal safety be for physical or loss of client during sales negotiation. Our comprehending skills are both physical and abstract. This requires a dynamic assessment, an ongoing comprehension that is validating observations as a foundation floor, so a more forward train of thought, a "conscious mind" can make decisions without conscious thought about lower level issues like situational safety. AGI needs all that dynamic comprehending capability, to satisfy its name of being general.

- bsenftner 1y agoAre you sure? Do you require dozens, to hundreds, to thousands of examples before you understand a concept? I expect no. That is because you have comprehension that can generalize a situation to basic concepts which you apply to other situations without effort. You comprehend. AI cannot do that: get the idea from a few, under a half dozen examples if necessary. Often a human needs 1-3 examples before they can generalize any concept. Not AI.
- Davidzheng 1y agoI think they're saying people generally don't learn language or mathematics by learning the basic rules and deducing everything else
- Jensson 1y agoHumanity did exactly that though, so an AGI should be capable of the same feat given enough time.
- mofeien 1y agoThere is the concept of n-t-AGI, which is capable of performing tasks that would take n humans t time. So a single AI system that is capable of rediscovering much of science from basic principles could be classified as something like 10'000'000humans-2500years-AGI, which could already be reasonably considered artificial superintelligence.
- adastra22 1y agoHumanity did it through A LOT of collective trial and error. Evolution is a powerful algorithm, but not a very smart one.
- _w1tm 1y agoBillions of humans did that over hundreds of thousands of years. Maybe it would only take thousands of years for AGI?
