Dr. Ben Goertzel – AGI versus Narrow AI

Dr. Ben Goertzel

This was the opening lecture of the First AGI Summer School.  A nontechnical lecture, giving a review of the history of the AI field, and the foundational theory of intelligence, culminating in a clarification of the distinction between Artificial General Intelligence and task-focused “narrow AI.”  Also a brief overview of some current software systems aimed at AGI, including OpenCog, NARS and others.

The slides for the talk are here in PPT format and here in PDF format.
