MIT AGI: Artificial General Intelligence

1. A philosophical dilemma to consider.

   Human-level intelligence is either decidable.

   Or it is undecidable.

   If it is decidable, then there exists a mechanical method for it.

   If it is undecidable, we cannot logically determine the validity of the claim that we ourselves possess it, let alone a claim that machines are necessarily incapable of it.

2. This is the opening lecture for course 6.S099: Artificial General Intelligence. This class is free and open to everyone. Our goal is to take an engineering approach to exploring possible paths toward building human-level intelligence for a better world.

3. 11:00 He's right, humans have a drive to explore. It is fundamental to how we are. Human level intelligence needs to include that if it's really going to be human level. Random walks through some parameter space are not the same as a drive and desire to explore. That maybe something that takes a mechanism more like a human body than a bank of GPUs. It might be modeled by algorithms, like the weather is, but climate models are not the climate and models of human drives are not human drives. It is not unreasonable to assume that the type of intelligence you get depends the design and what it is made from.

4. Got some new insights, thanks a lot for the work

5. Thank you for making this public.

6. This will be a historical landmark of a course I think in the future.

7. I'm looking forward to AI explaining and discovering the Creator and his interaction with the human race

8. A company called Kimera.ia claims to be the first to have invented AGI. How likely is it that this is true? Anybody?

9. The suit is quite intelligence agent XD

10. Lex, did Andrej Karpathy give the talk about Deep Learning as scheduled in January? If so, when might we expect it to be added here?

    Thank you so much for putting these online!

13. I believe that AGI will ultimately make humanity less happy (unless we biologically evolve to accept roles that we would not accept today), but I agree with the exploration compulsion thesis, particularly in young people (older people like myself often arrive at an entirely different feeling about what is enjoyable about life), so pushing AI to its limits is no doubt our destiny, though I predict periodic backlashes as with any societal change thoughout history. I started studying AI about 45 years ago but didn't pursue it. Now I am resuming my interest in it. Surprisingly, many of the techniques taught in these courses are foundationally the same as what I was learning back then and feel familiar. By the way, a really good online course is the BerkeleyX: CS188x_1 Artificial Intelligence course — mainly focuses on "search", but does a very nice job.

14. What a charming hypnotic patter!

15. Perhaps we need to develop intelligent data. Where data itself has a primitive understanding of its form and can make connections, associations and reorient relative to other data 'cells'. An 'intelligent' jigsaw where the 'coding' of each piece or data cell allows it to reject, modify/influence/ filter and accept associations that create the 'bigger picture' – so to speak. Intelligent data – we are what we make.

16. "Through Faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear…" – Hebrews 11:3

    God might be General Intelligence which emerged in the far past from the consciousness of people dedicated over millennia to Love as the absolute negative entropy factor and so the main operating motive of sentient, all-knowing and space-time independent intelligence…

    Build your codes to always and despite of circumstances reach the objective in cooperation between two machines or a machine and human and if this is impossible through sacrifice of one machine if it helps the other machine or a human.

17. You are talking here about high matters, curing diseases, man on Mars, blah-blah-blah. But we all know that AI is currently used by governments and corporations to control each and every aspect of our lives and to sell us more disposable junk. And when AGI will be released, do you seriously think that with amount of data that it has about each of us it will serve humanity???

18. it seems a speech given by a politician or salesman 🙂

19. I hope they take heed the warning that Stephen Hawking left behind in reference to artificial intelligence and how it would once take over the world. Mankind needs to be mindful.

20. What if Aliens are just AI of another worlds who destroyed their creators and it's planet.

21. Thank you for this amazing courses
