Be Ready: AGI is coming, How close are we to achieve Artificial General Intelligence?

Artificial General Intelligence is set to transform every sector and try to change the world. It is emerging not as “super human artificial intelligence”, but global human-machine intelligence and learning unifying narrow artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep neural networks and the human mind.

The invention of a General Intelligent system could theoretically be worth trillions of US dollars. It has tremendous potential to benefit the world and its peoples, with immense value in growing a smart economy, enhancing global sustainability and national securities and opening new frontiers in science, technology, education, medicine, communication and deep space exploration.

The Human-AI symbiosis specified, modeled and designed as Symbiotic Man-Machine intelligence. The Human-AI symbiosis is any type of a close and long-term social-cybernetic interaction between two different species, where each termed a symbiont.

There are five main symbiotic relationships: mutualism, commensalism, predation, parasitism, and competition. It is up to humans how to design future machine intelligence, as mutually beneficial or mutually harmful or just competitive.

It is certainly that a general-intelligence is emerging as the fundamental technology of the future, a “general purpose technology” to all modern engineering and machinery, General Purpose Technologies are technologies that can affect an entire economy at a global level, revolutionizing societies through their impact on pre-existing economic and social structures.

The four most important GPTs of the last two centuries were the steam engine, electric power, information technology, and artificial intelligence but as Human-Machine Intelligence and Learning.

To build real AGI machines, Need techno-scientific methods,

i) teach them the world knowledge and how to interact with all possible environments,

ii) imbue machines with a comprehensive understanding of the world that mirrors reality in all its complexity, not the human mind/cognition/intelligence/behavior/business,

iii) integrate all valuable AI models and ML algorithms into the World/Reality Modeling Engine,

iv) formalize reality as causal world hypergraph networks (underlying computer networks, natural networks, biological networks, brain networks, climate networks, social networks or technological networks),

v) embrace all valuable emerging and digital technologies.

Now, creating AGI is a primary goal of some Artificial intelligence R&D of companies such as Meta, Nvidia, Microsoft/OpenAI, Google/DeepMind, Anthropic, with hundreds active AGI R&D projects spread across many countries.

There is debate on the exact definition of AGI, and whether modern large language models such as GPT-4 are rudimentary forms of AGI. Some of them, as OpenAI, identify a Human-Like AGI with Super-intelligence, which "will be the most impactful technology humanity has ever invented, and could help us solve many of the world’s most important problems", while recognizing that the vast power of super-intelligence could also be very dangerous, and could lead to the disempowerment of humanity or even human extinction.

There is artificial general intelligence and General Artificial Intelligence, One is imitating, replicating, modeling or simulating human intelligence to effectively substitute it, a theoretical form of AI able to solve any number of hypothetical tasks using generalized human cognitive abilities. Or, AGI as a type of AI that can perform as well or better than humans on a wide range of cognitive tasks, as opposed to narrow AI, which is designed for specific tasks.

This AGI is a field of theoretical AI research that attempts to create software with human-like intelligence and the ability to self-teach; a theoretical representation of a complete artificial intelligence that solves complex tasks with generalized human cognitive abilities; a hypothetical computer program with human comprehension and cognitive capabilities.

The other one is imitating, replicating. modeling or simulating reality to effectively complete human intelligence, which is a Real AGI.

We advance the Iron Law of Intelligence evidenced by all intellectual activities and meaningful human practice,

World/Reality Modeling/Simulating defines Intelligence and Learning and Inference and Interaction, and vice versa;

The World/Reality Modeling Engine is the Universal Classifier and Master Algorithm integrating all valuable AI models and ML algorithms;

No Reality Modeling, No Real Intelligence, and vice versa;

Real intelligence, human intelligence or machine intelligence or man-machine hyperintelligence, consists in its power to effectively interact with the world, as a dynamic causal world model, to be Interactive as an Agent Intellect (intellectus agents; active intelligence, active reason, or productive intellect);

The reason for positing a single Agent Intellect is that all (intelligent) entities possess or have access to a fixed and stable set of world's categories, a unified world knowledge of reality (the universe). The only way that all rational agents could possess the same correct knowledge is if they all had access to some central knowledge store, as terminals might have access to a mainframe computer, or task-specific ML models to the cloud AI platforms, or the Internet of Everything to the Future AI Internet.

One of the consequences of the Iron Law of Intelligence is that the complexity, scope and scale, accuracy and precision, of reality modeling determines the complexity, scope and scale, accuracy and precision, of intelligence, human intelligence or machine intelligence or man-machine hyper-intelligence.

The World/Reality Modeling Engine with its encoded Machine Meta-physics as the Universal Classifier and Master Algorithm is the Root Cause, Basis and Foundation of Powerful Intelligent Knowledge Systems, be it Human Intelligence or Machine Intelligence and Learning or Real Artificial General Intelligence.

This rule refers to all AI, including gen AI, foundation models, LLMs and ChatGPT, to be transformed to Multimodal Large World or Reality Models, following the Iron Law of Intelligence.

The arrival of AGI could impact as much as the arrival of Alien Extraterrestrial Intelligence.

Second, we have to talk about a real general intelligence vs human-like AGI, which started as a dot-com blowout on Broadway, as a deeply fictitious construct.

Third, it would take a lot of courage to adopt such a human-created alien intelligence in our time of deep-fake news.

Fourth, it is to be Universal Machine Intelligence and Learning designed, developed, deployed and distributed as Man-Machine hyper-intelligent systems, which has all the power to transform the world and upend all human institutions.

Fifth, creating real intelligence is the hardest ever problem in the world to be solved by humanity. All other hardest questions about the world, existence, god, the universe, man, life and death, as well as scientific fundamental problems from the theory of everything to controlled thermonuclear reactors to quantum computing to millennium problems, as P vs NP, are just derivatives.

The world will never be the same, for such a disruptive discovery is to change the whole human mentality and all mindsets, in the first place.
