I suspect that a real artificial intelligence will require a handful of specialized subsystems linked together in the right way. I feel like the current method of research is to find problems similar to solved ones with a few challenges, then look to solve those specific challenges. Doing this for ever complex problems requires all sorts of unique solutions, and over time we find ways to combine and simplify those to get generalized systems. I don’t think the systems of today will generalize as you desire, but I think this method of research seems like a good one? What do you think?
