Physicist David Deutsch has an interesting article on AI in aeon magazine. I thank Ant for bringing it to my attention in a comment on another blog. My view of AI is rather different from that of Deutsch, though I agree with some of what he has to say.
I started this blog in order to discuss some of what I have learned about human intelligence, as a result of my own study of AI. It turns out that I have not actually posted much that is directly on the topic of AI. So I am using this post mainly as a vehicle to present my own views, though I will present them in the form of commentary on Deutsch’s article. I’ll note that Deutsch uses the acronym AGI for Artificial General Intelligence, by which he means something like the intelligence of humans to be created artificially.
