AGI needs to be able understand what it has learned in one context and transfer it to another context. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/2578/"><P> How do you create an AGI? Goertzel considers one possible path to AGI is through the use of virtual worlds as incubators for nascent artificial intelligence systems. This frees developers from the constant challenges presented by sensors and actuators in the physical world, but more importantly, virtual worlds offer an environment for large-scale collaboration among AI researchers. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/2578/"><P> (<SPAN class="ymwp-track-container-class"><A title="MP3" href="http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/audio/download/ITC.SS-BenGoertzel-2007.09.08.mp3" linkindex="60" tabindex="1" class="ymp-play-class ymwp-track-class"> </A><A title="MP3" href="http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/audio/download/ITC.SS-BenGoertzel-2007.09.08.mp3" linkindex="60" tabindex="1" class="">MP3</A></SPAN>) </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2FF8892C-3161-4134-A730-5A8EAA5DC120/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
