In this video, Ben Goertzel discusses his work on artificial general intelligence (AGI), and outlines how the development of AGI-level software for controlling self-driving cars can be seen as an early step in transitioning from narrow AI to general AI. He also discusses the challenges of building general intelligence and how OpenCog is helping to address these challenges. Finally, he talks about the connection between deep learning and general intelligence, and explains how current deep neural networks have various pathologies.

00:00:00 Ben Goertzel discusses how the rapid development of artificial general intelligence (AGI) has led to a widespread belief that AI is a real and present thing, and discusses how psychological transitions can lead to a sudden acceptance of something previously considered absurd. He then outlines how narrow AI tasks are different from more general AI tasks, and how the development of AGI-level software for controlling self-driving cars can be seen as an early step in transitioning from narrow AI to general AI.
00:05:00 Ben Goertzel discusses his team's approach to artificial general intelligence, which is based on a framework called OpenCog. He explains that the approach is "quite large" and that it is an "integrated approach." He also mentions that there is no one core algorithm of general intelligence, and that different algorithms need to interact together in order to create a system that is at least minimally intelligent.
00:10:00 Ben Goertzel discusses the challenges of building general intelligence and how OpenCog is helping to address these challenges. He also discusses some of the other AI paradigms that have potential to contribute to general intelligence.
00:15:00 Ben Goertzel discusses the connection between deep learning and general intelligence, and explains how current deep neural networks have various pathologies. He also talks about his current work on creating neural networks that resemble how humans would process images.
00:20:00 Ben Goertzel discusses how deep neural networks are important for perception, but are also limited in their ability to reason abstractly. He discusses how adaptive inference control can help solve this problem. Finally, he discusses some of the work his team is doing with a logic engine to reason about biological data.
00:25:00 In this video, Ben Goertzel explains how the logic engine used to predict whether people are going to be healthy or unhealthy at age 80 can be used to study the relationship between genes and longevity. He also mentions that this type of inference can be sped up by code optimizations.
00:30:00 This YouTube video discusses the theorem proving concept and how it can be used to solve certain problems in AI, such as making the AI have enough internal semantics to connect to other systems. Ben Goertzel also discusses the OpenCog design, which he believes reduces the overall problem of AI to a handful of manageable challenges.
00:35:00 Ben Goertzel discusses his work on Hanson Robotics' Sofia robot and the final project he is working on, the singularity net. He describes how the robot is able to interact with people in different ways, and how it has been helpful in improving his meditation skills. He also talks about the OpenCog platform that Hanson Robotics is using for research projects.
00:40:00 In this video, Ben Goertzel discusses his work on artificial general intelligence (AGI). He explains that it will be possible to achieve human-level AGI in 4 simple steps, and describes some of the challenges that he and his team have faced in this effort. The video ends with a demonstration of some simple syllogistic reasoning by a robot called Han.
00:45:00 The speaker provides a brief overview of their project, which is aimed at creating a framework for connecting together many AI agents in a way that will allow them to communicate and share data. They mention that this is possible with the help of blockchain technology.
00:50:00 Ben Goertzel talks about how blockchain technology and AI agents can work together to create a decentralized digital organism that can process vast amounts of data. He also discusses how the AGI token can be used to reduce the costs of AI services, and how the economy of the network can help to assign credit to those who contribute the most value.
00:55:00 Ben Goertzel discusses how the development of deep learning AI has led to the development of a global brain, which will eventually obsolete all major technology companies. He provides a brief overview of OpenCog, which is an integrative platform that allows for deep neural networks to be more semantic, and discusses the ethical implications of general intelligence. He concludes by discussing his view of the future of AI.

01:00:00 - 01:05:00

In the video, Ben Goertzel discusses the potential dangers and benefits of artificial general intelligence (AGI). He believes that we need to take a proactive approach to creating AGI, rather than wait for it to be banned by the UN. He also points out that there are a number of companies working on creating AGI that will be beneficial for humanity.
