Dr. Pei Wang – Approaches to Defining and Evaluating General Intelligence http://agi-school.org/2009/approaches-to-defining-and-evaluating-general-intelligence A discussion of AGI. See also http://sites.google.com/site/narswang/home/agi-introduction It is a new name for the original “AI” aim, though not what the current field of AI doing. A complete AGI work normally includes a theory of intelligence, a formal model of the theory, a [...]

Social Tagging: entropy • information
Introduction I used to work in chemical thermodynamics for quite a while. No doubt, I have heard of the informational entropy but I have always thought that it has nothing to do with the entropy in chemical thermodynamics. Recently I have started reading papers on artificial life and it came to me as a complete [...]

Theory of Nothing by Russell Standish This book was listed on the Everything list as a summary of discussions up to 2006. I guess, this is a good characteristic. The book gives quick overview over different themes and helps to understand discussions on the list. There are no deep discussions in the book but for [...]
Chemical Basis for Minimal Cognition Martin M. Hanczyc and Takashi Ikegami Artificial Life 2010, Vol. 16, No. 3: 233-243. http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1162/artl_a_00002 Abstract: We have developed a simple chemical system capable of self-movement in order to study the physicochemical origins of movement. We propose how this system may be useful in the study of minimal perception and [...]
I have seen the next announcement on the alife-announce list (see http://www.anarg.jp/bioambis2010/). In the future ambient information society, not only can a user obtain information in a flexible manner as in the ubiquitous information society, but also the information systems autonomously provide desired information to the user and control the environmental conditions according to the context [...]
On Linkedin in the group Artificial Intelligence Researchers, Faculty + Professionals there was an interesting discussion “Can we compute an answer to every question?” with over 600 comments. Here I have realized that I cannot give a good definition what computing is, in spite that I have been working with numerical methods all my life [...]

Social Tagging: simulation argument
Some time ago, I have occasionally found Nick Bostrom, Are You Living In a Computer Simulation? http://www.simulation-argument.com/ I should say that this idea looks crazy but on the other hand why not? The page of Prof Schmidhuber adds mathematical insight into this problem Computable Universes & Algorithmic Theory of Everything http://www.idsia.ch/~juergen/computeruniverse.html Interestingly enough, it was [...]
