The world external to mind contains nothing whatsoever other than particular cases. Without the ability to generalize human activity is inconceivable, and little automation as we know it would be possible.

The "holy grail" of AI is the automation of a machine that is so general that it can achieve its goals in practically any domain. Generalization is at the very center, literally, of artificial general intelligence.

In this meetup we will explore generality. Two mini-presentations with discussion are planned:

  1. Jim Bromer will present "Generalization and Abstraction." Here is Jim's outline: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QVkQPSq0b3VvRH1ViW1qB3JfJPk89HeF/view?usp=sharing

  2. Mike Archbold will present "Between the Poles of Generality." We will discuss what it means to have no generality, absolute generality, and then all aspects of pushing forward the present state of AI generality.

We were going to use Jitsi but the test was underwhelming, so next time...
