François Chollet: How We Get To AGI

3/

* Two types of abstractions
- Type-1: prototype/value-centric, continuous — transformer is good at this
- Type-2: program-centric abstraction/graphs, discrete/search — ???
- Type-2 is data efficient but test-time inefficient due to combinatorial explosion.

* Intelligent systems needs to combine Type-1 and 2 abstractions
- Type-2 can be guided by type-1
- Need global library of abstract subroutines

#AGI #AI #talk

* The evolution of ARC benchmarks
- ARC-1: Prior-free reasoning tasks
- ARC-2: Compositional reasoning tasks
- ARC-3: Reasoning with interactive agency

* Intelligence implementation requires two components
- Abstraction acquisition
- Abstraction recombination (application)

François Chollet, creator of Keras and the ARC suite of AGI benchmarks, gave a very thoughtful talk on how we can actually get to #AGI:

* Intelligence is a process, not skills
- Intelligence is an efficient conversion from past experience to potential operating area
- AGI is not about automation, it’s about invention

* Three characterstics of intelligence
- Fluid intelligence
- Broad operational area
- Information-efficient program acquisition and synthesis
