Artificial General Intelligence

This book is about a wholly new revolutionary approach to the theory and implementation of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), sometimes called Strong Artificial Intelligence. This sort of AI can engage in a conversation with you in natural language e.g., English, understand what you say, build a mental model from this, and use the model to answer your comprehension questions. It can do logic and computation, form deductions, and detect omissions and inconsistencies, and proactively correct these. In fact, it can interact with you in a similar way as another intelligent person.

This new theory gives a system far removed from neural-network-based chatbots, with their problems of requiring a web connection, extensive training data, substantial computing resources, and producing questionable answers, their conceivers and implementers cannot understand. Instead, the AI software encountered here is entirely self-contained, uses totally transparent logic, and needs very modest computational and memory resources.

Also, significantly, as you will discover, this new theory sheds important light on human thought processes and of language origins, and, we promise, will dramatically change the way you see everything from now onwards.
