116 6 A Brief Overview of CogPrime 6.7 Conclusion To thoroughly describe a comprehensive, integrative AGI architecture in a brief chapter would be an impossible task; all we have attempted here is a brief overview, to be elaborated on in the 800-odd pages of Part 2 of this book. We do not expect this brief summary to be enough to convince the skeptical reader that the approach described here has a reasonable odds of success at achieving its stated goals, or even of fulfilling the conceptual notions outlined in the preceding chapters. However, we hope to have given the reader at least a rough idea of what sort of AGI design we are advocating, and why and in what sense we believe it can lead to advanced artificial general intelligence. For more details on the structure, dynamics and underlying concepts of CogPrime, the reader is encouraged to proceed to Part 2- after completing Part 1, of course. Please be patient — building a thinking machine is a big topic, and we have a lot to say about it! HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_013032
