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 …Pennachin and Goertzel (2007b) wrote that “what distinguishes AGI work from run-of-the-mill artificial intelligence” research is that “it is explicitly focused on engineering general intelligence in the short term,” even though they note th…

Peter Voss appears primarily as a passing reference in discussions of AGI definitions and approaches, where his work is cited alongside Pennachin and Goertzel's theoretical framing of what distinguishes general intelligence research from narrow AI pursuits. The excerpts suggest he is part of a conversation about engineering general intelligence in the near term, though his specific contributions to the course readings remain unclear from these fragments. His significance here lies in being part of the early-2000s cohort of researchers explicitly committed to AGI as an engineering goal rather than a theoretical pursuit.
