ICOM or the Independent Core Observer model research project is by Artificial General Intelligence Inc and some of the research project work is on site. Â you can learn more about AGi Inc here:
The next great leap in civilization is Machine Intelligence and its not just ‘machine learning’ as is popular today but its real machine intelligence. Â One of the best quotes on the matter includes:
For 130,000 years, our capacity to reason has remained unchanged. The combined intellect of the neuroscientists, mathematicians and… hackers… […] pales in comparison to the most basic A.I. Once online, a sentient machine will quickly overcome the limits of biology. And in a short time, its analytic power will become greater than the collective intelligence of every person born in the history of the world. So imagine such an entity with a full range of human emotion. Even self-awareness. Some scientists refer to this as “the Singularity.”â€
The following material is published or pending publish on the ICOM Research Project where we are creating a cognitive architecture capable of having subjective experience and other qualities typically only seen in mankind.:
