Cover Story: It is anticipated that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) will be the disruptive technological step that completes “The Singularity”. AGI mechanics are based on a simulated digital “brain”. While the complexity of the human brain is enormous, containing about 86 billion neurons, simpler forms can be constructed through convolutional neural networks and genetic algorithms. Such a venture is both enormous and an attractive target, and we face dire implications for humanity if the one successful AGI is controlled by one company or one country. We also need to face the likelihood of hacking and misuse.
In this paper, we explore the prospects that Artificial Intelligent agents (AIAs), collaborating in the relatively secure environment of distributed ledger technology, could form an AGI that is able to be utilized by everyone. View this paper.
