Questions and answers, problems and solutions of the Artificial General
Intelligence (AGI) are extremely unusual and complex. The complexity and lack
of results have manifested themselves over many years within the field of
Artificial Intelligence.
Despite all the efforts in various scientific areas of computer
science, psychology, neurobiology etc., the quest for the AGI is still illusive.
Scientists are always convinced in correctness of their approaches as if the
solution is just there. However, one can sense that the deceptive goal is much
further. Trials, errors and disappointments caused many projects to fail and close with
sober "lessons learned".
In our approach we try to find reasons why so many mistakes were made - were
these mistakes a result of the approach or just simply an unavoidable consequence of human
reasoning. We trust, we have uncovered the fundamental principles of intelligence based
on a very deep analysis of a human information processing system. We believe, we have
found weaknesses, limitations and strengths of our reasoning and
used them to "reverse engineer" the underlying principles.
Our research indicates that intelligence can’t be uniquely attributed to
human species alone and, surprisingly, many “low-level” living organisms
demonstrate intelligent behavior, i.e. understanding of their environments.
We argue that a complete paradigm shift has to take place before one can
start to approach understanding and answers to the AGI challenge. Contrary to many claims, we think
that fundamental principles of intelligence are very unique and, at the same time,
universal. Following these principles leads to the very specific implementation.
Intelligence exposed by humans and other biological systems has converged to this
specific implementation over millions of years of evolution.
Many years of our research and analysis indicate that there is a very
high probability of simulating these fundamental principles and working
solutions of the biological intelligent systems and creating their
computer models exhibiting properties and behavior of true AGI.
We understand, that given the history of the field of Artificial
Intelligence any valuable AGI claim becomes highly subjective and
losses its gravity till proven to be true. After all, any extraordinary
claim requires extraordinary evidence. However, knowing strengths
and weaknesses of human information processing system, the proof of this evidence
lies always within one of the fundamental principles of intelligence – “our belief”.
