Abstract. In recent years, a trend in AI research has

started to pursue human-level, general artificial intel-

ligence (AGI). Although the AGI framework is char-

acterised by different viewpoints on what intelli-

gence is and how to implement it in artificial sys-

tems, it conceptualises intelligence as flexible, gen-

eral-purposed, and capable of self-adapting to differ-

ent contexts and tasks. Two important questions re-

main open: a) should AGI projects simulate the bio-

logical, neural, and cognitive mechanisms realising

the human intelligent behaviour? and b) what is the

relationship, if any, between the concept of general

intelligence adopted by AGI and that adopted by

psychometricians, i.e., the g factor? In this paper, we

address these questions and invite researchers in AI

to open a discussion on the theoretical conceptions

From a psychometric point of view, the g factor is related to the so-called positive mani- fold: individuals who show good performance on a given task will tend to show good perfor- mance also in other tasks. In other words, intel- ligence measurements are positively intercorre- lated both in different cognitive domains and different individuals. ...
