Preliminary Mediated Artificial Superintelligence Study, Experimental Framework, and Definitions for an Independent Core Observer Model Cognitive Architecture-Based System

摘要

This preliminary study proposal is designed to gather and assess evidence of intelligence in an Independent Core Observer Model (ICOM)-based mediated Artificial Super Intelligence (mASI) system, or of the presence of a collective "Supermind" in such a system (Malone). A mediated system is one in which collective Artificial Intelligence beyond the human norm arises from the pooled activity of groups of humans whose judgment and decision making are integrated and augmented by a technological system in which they collectively participate. Our initial proposal is that an mASI system based on the ICOM cognitive architecture for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) may, as a whole, be conscious, self-aware, pass the Turing Test, suggest the presence of subjective phenomenology (qualia) and/or satisfy other subjective measures of Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI), or intelligence well above the human standard. Our hypothesis is that this preliminary research program will indicate intelligence on the part of the mASI system, thereby justifying continued research to refine and test such systems.
