Что мешает нам создать Общий искусственный интеллект? Одна старая стена и один старый спор

Abstract

The goal set by A. Turing – the creation of a thinking machine – is one of the most important scientific problems that has not yet been solved. The modern frontier in this area is the creation of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Modern researchers are looking for different ways to solve this challenging task. In their search, many scholars point out that attempts to use exclusive lin­guistic communication to solve this problem are not enough. The authors of this article analyze a wide range of research and compare it with well-known re­search in the field of language and consciousness, which became known as the “Zagorsky experiment”. Such a comparison of the latest achievements in the field of AI and an analysis of one of the most breakthrough achievements of neuroscience in the rehabilitation of deaf-blind-mute children is being done for the first time in the literature known to us. Based on the experience of the “Zagorsk experiment”, the article concludes that sensory interaction with the outside world is a necessary condition for the creation of AGI. A vision of vari­ous forms of interaction between the machine and the surrounding world is pro­posed: from verbal to non-verbal, from virtual to physical and otherwise. These forms become the basis for the introduction of a new concept of techno-umwelt. Machine transitions from various techno-umwelts can serve as the basis for cre­ating an AGI that has the ability to act as good or better than a human in a vari­ety of environments.
