Cogito Machina - Investigating the emergence of artificial general intelligence

Is AGI emergent? In order to know, several questions need to be answered and this project aims to provide the answeres. What is AGI? What is required for a system to have it, and how might we know whether AGI is emergent in a system.

Anandi Hattiangadi: Artificial General Intelligence - A Manifesto

The race is on to produce artificial general intelligence (AGI)—machines that are at least as intelligent as humans—despite widespread concern that an AGI would pose an existential threat to humankind

Philosophy & Technology 36 Abstract The last decade has seen significant improvements in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, including robotics, machine vision, speech recognition, and text ge

Lucia Karens

I have a bachelor's degree in Engineering Physics. I am currently finishing my Master's degree in Machine Learning. At the Institute for Futures Studies, I work as a research assistant for the project E, led by . The aim of the project is to investigate how stereotypes about minority and immigrant groups have evolved over time in Sweden and Finland, by analysing several decades' worth of newspaper articles. My main tasks are running the quantitative analysis of the data with various machine learning methods, as well as visualizing the results.

AI & Society (2020) Abstract An intelligent machine surpassing human intelligence across a wide set of skills has been proposed as a possible existential catastrophe (i.e., an event comparable in val
