Artificial General Intelligence
In this book, I have depicted AI as an utterly practical framework for solving problems. However, a lot of people, when they think about AI, think about some powerful being, independent and intending to destroy the human race (e.g. Terminator), which is far from any predictable scenario. If AI destroys us, it’d be because we will use it as a weapon against each other.
Nevertheless, there is a concept of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), a constructed entity capable of any menial task humans could do and performing it at least as well as humans do. AGI is the end goal of all AI research, the ultimate prize for solving machine learning problems. We don’t know yet how to get there or even if it’s even possible, but if it is, then that will be the greatest discovery of humankind ever made and also probably the last one. With enough computing power AGI will be capable of doing research by itself, faster and better than any team...
