SingularityNET's 2022 Progress Towards AGI

Today, we'd like to share a special update, a deep dive into the AGI progress made by SingularityNET in 2022, and an overview of what makes OpenCog Hyperon -- SingularityNET's approach to an AGI framework -- different from other AI systems. As AI systems demonstrate greater practical functionality each year, it becomes increasingly apparent that the breakthrough from narrow AI to Artificial General Intelligence is near. However, there is still no agreement among researchers about how the breakthrough will be made. While deep neural networks have demonstrated impressive capabilities for impersonating intelligence and producing intelligent-looking artifacts, their complete lack of commonsense understanding and real-world symbol grounding makes it appear unlikely that they can serve as the core component of a true AGI system. It's possible that computational neuroscience simulations will make huge strides, or that AGI will spontaneously emerge from self-organizing networks like the SingularityNET Platform without coordinated planning -- but it seems more likely that some new innovation in cognitive architecture and/or learning and reasoning algorithms will be needed alongside these.
