Computational consciousness

Alexei Samsonovich presents:Cognitive Constructor: An Intelligent Tutoring System Based on a Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architecture (BICA) by Alexei V. Samsonovich, Kenneth A. de Jong , Anastasia Kitsantas, Erin E. Peters, Nada Dabbagh, and M. Layne Kalbfleisch of Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study at George Mason University

 

Computational Consciousness

Can be defined as a fully functional computational equivalent of the human mind in its higher cognitive abilities

 

Two approaches: piece-by-piece versus grow.

 

Sidenote:

Human brain is the last and grandest biological frontier,

the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe.

-James Watson

 

 

Technical Session II: Architecture of AGI Systems at the The First Conference on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI-08)

 

This room is The Zone, at the FedEx Institute of Technology, University of Memphis. It was a very good venue for this conference.

 

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) research focuses on the original and ultimate goal of AI -- to create intelligence as a whole, by exploring all available paths, including theoretical and experimental computer science, cognitive science, neuroscience, and innovative interdisciplinary methodologies. AGI is also called Strong AI in the AI community.

 

Another good reference is Artificial General Intelligence : A Gentle Introduction by Pei Wang
