According to Cointelegraph, a team of researchers from Huawei’s Noah’s Ark Lab in Paris published pre-print research outlining a potential framework for “embodied artificial intelligence” (E-AI). This is expected to serve as the “next fundamental step in the pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI).”
Sources revealed that AGI, sometimes called “human-level AI” or “strong AI,” defines an artificial intelligence (AI) system capable of performing any task given the necessary resources. It is believed that there’s no clear scientific consensus as to what, exactly, would qualify a given AI system for consideration as a general intelligence. Furthermore, companies such as OpenAI have been founded solely for the purpose of pursuing this technology.
“It is a prevalent belief that simply scaling up such models, in terms of data volume and computational power, could lead to AGI. We contest this view. We propose that true understanding … is achievable only through E-AI agents that live in the world and learn of it by interacting with it,” Cointelegraph explained.
In order for AI agents to truly interact with the real world, models need to be housed in some form of embodiment capable of perception, action, memory, and learning, concluded Cointelegraph.
