Is Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) On The Horizon? Interview With Dr. Ben Goertzel, CEO & Founder, SingularityNET Foundation
Dr. Ben Goertzel CEO & Founder of the SingularityNET Foundation is particularly visible and vocal on his thoughts on Artificial Intelligence, AGI, and where research and industry are in regards to AGI. Speaking at the (Virtual) OpenCogCon event this week,...
Dr. Goertzel is founder of SingularityNET, a decentralized AI platform which lets multiple AI agents cooperate to solve problems in a participatory way without any central controller. “It’s an infrastructure for what AI pioneer Marvin Minsky called the ‘Society of Minds’ — an approach to AGI in which the general intelligence emerges from the interactions of multiple relatively simple AI agents,” says Dr. Goertzel.
In addition to AGI, Dr. Goertzel is looking forward to the emergence of graph-processing and ideally hypergraph-processing chips. He thinks that putting graph transformations on the chip will do for both AGI and functional programming the same thing that GPUs did for deep neural nets. It has the potential to make complex scalable work far less costly and more tractable.
