1. Defining AGI and Its Core Requirements

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) represents the creation of an AI that possesses cognitive abilities and consciousness comparable to, or exceeding, that of a human. Unlike narrow AI, designed for specific tasks, an AGI would be capable of understanding, learning, and applying its intelligence to solve any problem.

Core Requirements for AGI

• ❖ Common Sense (Soyutları Algılama): The ability to make intuitive judgments and understand abstract context.
• ❖ Learning Transfer (Özel Programlanmadan Çözme): Applying skills from one domain to an unrelated domain without pre-programming.
• ❖ True Comprehension of Human Language: Understanding idioms, metaphors, sarcasm, and cultural context.
• ❖ Sensory Perception: Interpreting the world through vision, hearing, touch, etc.
• ❖ Self-awareness: Possessing consciousness and subjective experiences.

2. The Imperative of Experience over Data

Current approaches feeding vast databases to AI are misguided. An AI educated solely on data cannot develop true common sense. The "AI as a Baby" Analogy: A true AGI must be generated like a human infant, learning through its own interactions. Consciousness arises from subjective experience, not just information.

3. Pathways to AGI: Mind Uploading

One approach is providing foundational experiences through Mind Uploading or Whole Brain Emulation (WBE)—scanning neural structures to recreate a simulation. Comparison: WBE has high potential but extreme technical requirements. Memory Seeding (implanting memories) is another route but risks rejection. Artificial Neural Network Growth is the most organic but slowest path.
