Instructions for Teachers
The goal of this lecture is to provide students with an introduction to the idea of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). It should set the stage for more in-depth discussions and debates about AGI. The lecture should:
- Clarify the differences between the levels of AI
- Discuss the expected characteristics of AGI
- Outline the limitations of the current state-of-the-art AI in terms of the characterists of AGI
- Present possible ways in which we might test for AGI
- Look at various expert viewpoints on how far away AGI is
- Discuss the possible benefits and risks of AGI in terms of Human Centered AI
