In this course

Pennachin, alongside Ben Goertzel, is a key theorist of artificial general intelligence (AGI) who has worked to distinguish AGI as a specific research agenda focused on engineering general intelligence in the near term, rather than incremental AI development. His work appears in the course readings as part of the critical genealogy of AGI ideology, helping scholars trace how the field's foundational concepts and assumptions have evolved from earlier technological optimism. The course uses Pennachin's definitional work to interrogate what AGI advocates mean by their central claims and how those meanings have been shaped by specific intellectual lineages.

1. Introduction Recent years have seen a resurgence of the goal to build artificial general intelligence (AGI), a system defined differently by the various people and organizations that seek to build it. For instance, OpenAI defines AGI as …These ideologies, which are direct descendants of first-wave eugenics, emerged in roughly this order, and many were shaped or founded by the same individuals. We show how the TESCREAL bundle has come to animate the AGI race by examining how…In 1955, four white men officially launched the field of AI with a proposal for a workshop focused on “the artificial intelligence problem” [65]. By the 1990s, however, many researchers in fields currently associated with AI, such as natura…
