Agi Series 2024 Joscha Bach Is Consciousness A Missing Link To Agi

Joscha Bach is an eminent German artificial intelligence researcher and cognitive scientist, focusing on cognitive architectures, mental representations, emotion, social modelling and multi-agent systems. He takes the view that artificial intelligence offers us a conceptual framework for how to understand the mind. He is the author of Principles of Synthetic Intelligence, and has argued very provocatively that we live our lives through a form of simulation. . . This series is devoted to the theme of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). According to OpenAI’s definition, AGI amounts to “highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work”. Are we there yet? If not, how far are we away? What would it take to reach AGI? And what would happen if we reach it?. . ARTIFICIAL GENERAL INTELLIGENCE . . Sun 8 September [12 noon EST start]. JOSCHA BACH.
