Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

<b>Description</b>The experimental <i>AI Dialog</i> software application is able to build a mental model from a plain English dialogue using speech or textual input. Subsequently, comprehension and logical capability may be tested using plain English queries.<i>AI Dialog</i> is used to experimentally test the validity and utility of a novel software application design, as a path to <i>Artificial General Intelligence</i>, sometimes referred to as <i>Strong Artificial Intelligence</i> or <i>Conversational Artificial Intelligence</i>.The theory behind <i>AI Dialog</i> is fully described in the book: <i>Belch, Francis R. (2023) Artificial General Intelligence – A New Approach</i>, available from: Amazon.com (from September 2023).A short demonstration of the <i>AI Dialog</i> software application is available from <i>YouTube</i>®<i>,</i> and entitled:<i>Artificial General Intelligence – A New Approach – AI Dialog Demonstration.</i>There are also two <i>YouTube</i>® lectures each of about 1 hour duration describing the radical new approach to <i>Artificial General Intelligence</i> used to implement the <i>AI Dialog</i> software application. These are:<i>Artificial General Intelligence – A New Approach – Part I Sentence Semantics</i>.<i>Artificial General Intelligence – A New Approach – Part II Dialogues and Mental Models</i>.This is a free download of the executable of the <i>AI Dialog Software Application Version 4.1 Alpha</i> release. This version supersedes <i>Version 3.2</i> to allow speech as well as textual user input.The <i>AI Dialog</i> software is protected by international copyright, but is made available to use for non-commercial personal study purposes.The application will run on Windows 10® PC, Laptop and Tablet systems, and requires about 1 M byte of memory. The download file is zipped and needs to be unzipped. After this, the content of the folder <i>AI Dialog 4.1 Alpha Release</i> is:• Application Files (Folder)• Documentation (Folder)• NLP2016Autumn (Manifest)• Setup (Application)In the Documentation folder are two PDF files:• Copy Of Tuition Lessons (PDF)• Specification (PDF).The first is a hard copy of the tuition lessons. The second is a specification of a subset of English for use with the <i>AI Dialog</i> system. However, there is no need to consult either of these initially, as <i>AI Dialog</i> incorporates a quick start tuition module.To install <i>AI Dialog</i>, double click the Setup file. This starts <i>AI Dialog</i> immediately after installation, but places an application icon on the Windows 10® Start list for restarting later. After <i>AI Dialog</i> starts, just follow the speech or pop-up message instructions, which lead to quick start interactive tuition modules, fully describing how to use the application.
