An architectural approach to modeling artificial general intelligence

Abstract

This study presents an architectural approach for building a conceptual model of artificial general intelligence (AGI). The architectural approach is generally used to model information systems (IS) of enterprises and can be also used as part of a system-wide approach to describe other complex open systems. The paper suggests three layers and five levels of the AGI model. Two levels (entropy and process) are at the technological layer of AI functioning, two more levels (social and linguistic ones) are at the relationship layer responsible for the behavior of AI, and, finally, the uppermost level (actualization) supposes general intelligence. All the components of each upper layer are connected to the components of the lower layers forming the AGI model. The feature of the social layer is determined by the requirements to the subjectivity of the intellect, its ability to make decisions independently and be responsible for them. The task of the upper layer is self-identification of AGI and understanding its place. The hypothesis has been put forward that the limitation of the life cycle is an important condition for the actualization of intelligence.
