@GaryMarcus What is AGI? I see many different definitions.

Can it be a system of highly specialized AI systems that work together?

For example, a given company will have an AGI specifically for them that handles all of their backend operations.

Why is there such a focus on generality?

Correct. And even now the only one among them to truly recognize how important this is Bengio.

Without a solution, we will have no AGI.

Cognitive scientist @GaryMarcus understood the generalization problem and warned against it way back in 1998, long before the deep learning revolution. None of the big AI rock stars and AI godfathers paid attention. Marcus was right.

The statement engages in a substantive discussion about the development and implications of artificial general intelligence (AGI), specifically addressing the challenges and theoretical considerations in achieving true AGI. The conversation involves multiple participants and references to scholarly work, which contributes to a deeper understanding of the topic within the public and academic community.
