Creating safe. beneficial AGI is a difficult problem and the best solution is more Ikely to emerge if • a wide variety of bright minds are working together on it • It is created within an effort with beneficial AGI as the central goal. rather than e.g. profitability of a particular corporation or watery success of a particular country High leverage on I-westment through growing network of volunteers. academics. and commercial Open Source community participants: • Directly funding 10 developers may ildireclly bring 1000 additional developers funded by other sources VS open source initiative 6 EFTA01115124 Project PrimeAGi Use and extend the existing Opencog AGI Framework to drive towards at least Human level AG in three phases: 'V2 Rocket of AGI" First system to show exciting functionality that demonstrates the core principles needed to make AGI work "Sputnik of AGI" First system to show incontrovertible evidence of AGI -.Apollo of AGI" Human-level AGI 7 EFTA01115125 Robot head that holds a simple conversation with a human. displaying genuine understanding of its embodiment and context Robot head that learns via interaction with humans and the world. similady to a human child (including learni-ig new languages and social skills via experiential interaction) Robot head that holds a simple conversation with a human. displaying genuine understanding of its embodiment and context Once an AGI can be taught university-level mathematics and CS, we begin moving toward profoundly self-improving, self-modifying AGI. 8 EFTA01115126 "V2 Rocket" Goal of this fundraising round A realistic-looking. emotionally and socially interactive robot head which holds a simple conversation with you. The conversation isn't just a °chat bar but an embodied intelligent dialogue system Robot dialogue displays genuine understanding of: • vAio and what it is. including its own history • who you are • wt at its physical surroundings are System able to learn and reason about its environment and interactions • Learning/reasoning ability broadly similar to a young human chid • In some cases more advanced — 'idiot savant' Ike 9 EFTA01115127 OpenCog: our unfair platform advantage Given the current state of software and hardware tech. creating a human-level AGI is both • A substantial research project. comprisrig multiple coupled sub-research-projects • A large-scale software engineering project Executrig on these two aspects in parallel presents unique challenges We address this issue via inked but separate development of • PrimeAGI, a comprehensive.
