A draft of the paper "Levels of Organization in General Intelligence", to
appear in Ben Goertzel and Cassio Pennachin (eds.), "Real AI: New Approaches
to Artificial General Intelligence", is now available online.
It has not been linked in to SIAI's main site or announced anywhere. I
should probably do that after I answer my accumulated email, do my income
tax returns, and get some sleep. I probably shouldn't say anything more
until I have some idea of the audience's reactions.

Abstract:
LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION IN GENERAL INTELLIGENCE
Part I discusses the conceptual foundations of general intelligence as a
discipline, orienting it within the Integrated Causal Model of Tooby and
Cosmides. Part II constitutes the bulk of the paper and discusses the
functional decomposition of general intelligence into a complex supersystem
of interdependent internally specialized processes, and structures the
description using five successive levels of functional organization: Code,
sensory modalities, concepts, thoughts, and deliberation. Part III
discusses probable differences between humans and AIs and points out several
fundamental advantages that minds-in-general potentially possess relative to
current evolved intelligences, especially with respect to recursive
self-improvement.
