General

'General' has various meanings. There is risk of being too general or too embedded in a specific context, conceptions of generality and specificity are in a dialectic.Anon and Eiríksson.General Intelligence in General Terms (FoM)In distinguishing the program of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) from broader work in Artificial Intelligence the crucial conceptual challenge is to explain just what we mean by the ‘generality’. However, in doing so it is important to understand the level of generality that we are aiming for in this explanation: is this generality relative (e.g., human level AI) or absolute (e.g., AGI simpliciter), quantitative (e.g., more or less general) or qualitative (general or not general), abstract (independent of implementation) or concrete (dependent on implementation)? The point of this talk is to examine these issues, and on that basis to oppose a pedagogical way of thinking about general intelligence to various all too common mysterian approaches.-- Pete Wolfendaledeontologistics.co.-
