Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Here's an improved and structured list of criteria for general intelligence (GI), tailored for human-level understanding and considering the capabilities and limitations of current AI technology:
Human-Level Expectation: Ability to learn new concepts, skills, and tasks across various domains without specific pre-programming. Adapt to new and unfamiliar situations effectively.
Current AI: Specialized machine learning models excel at task-specific learning but struggle with transfer learning across vastly different domains.
Human-Level Expectation: Logical reasoning, abstract thought, and the ability to solve novel and complex problems with limited information.
Current AI: Good at structured problem-solving within predefined rules (e.g., chess, Go) but struggles with open-ended, ambiguous, or poorly defined problems.
Human-Level Expectation: Capability to perceive, interpret, and understand diverse sensory inputs (visual, auditory, textual) and contextualize them meaningfully.
Current AI: Strong in narrow perception tasks (e.g., image recognition, speech-to-text) but lacks comprehensive multimodal understanding and nuanced contextual awareness.
Human-Level Expectation: Generate novel ideas, concepts, or solutions that are original and valuable. Combine unrelated information creatively.
Current AI: Can mimic creativity (e.g., generating art, writing) within boundaries of existing data but lacks the genuine originality seen in humans.
Human-Level Expectation: Understand, interpret, and respond appropriately to human emotions, behaviors, and social cues. Exhibit empathy and build relationships.
Current AI: Limited to pre-programmed emotional recognition and response patterns. Lacks authentic empathy or true understanding of social dynamics.
Human-Level Expectation: Retain, organize, and recall past experiences or knowledge to inform decisions and behavior in real-time.
Current AI: Good at storing and retrieving vast amounts of data but lacks long-term experiential memory and personalized understanding.
Human-Level Expectation: Apply knowledge from one domain to solve problems in another, even when contexts differ.
Current AI: Limited generalization; successes in transfer learning are domain-specific and far from human-level adaptability.
Human-Level Expectation: Define, pursue, and achieve diverse goals autonomously, balancing conflicting objectives when needed.
Current AI: Works well with clearly defined goals but struggles with balancing competing priorities or autonomously setting meaningful objectives.
Human-Level Expectation: Understand one's own state, capabilities, and limitations. Reflect on and regulate one's thought processes.
Current AI: Lacks true self-awareness or understanding of its limitations; it operates within predefined parameters without introspection.
Human-Level Expectation: Make decisions that consider ethical principles, cultural values, and societal norms. Adapt morality contextually and appropriately.
Current AI: Ethics are externally imposed (via programming or guidelines). AI lacks innate moral reasoning or the ability to adapt ethically across contexts.
Human-Level Expectation: Navigate and interact with the physical world effectively, using tools and adapting to physical challenges.
Current AI: Robotics and embodied AI are improving but still far behind humans in physical dexterity, adaptability, and decision-making in real-world environments.
Human-Level Expectation: Possess an innate understanding of everyday situations, physical laws, and social norms, even when unstated.
Current AI: Limited to explicitly trained knowledge; often fails in tasks requiring common-sense reasoning or implicit understanding.
Human-Level Expectation: Continue efforts toward a goal despite challenges, setbacks, or changing circumstances.
Current AI: Performs tasks based on pre-set parameters but lacks intrinsic motivation or the ability to "persevere" without external instructions.
Acknowledge that the development of general intelligence must align with ethical principles, ensuring safety, fairness, and accountability.
This list can serve as a roadmap to evaluate progress toward general intelligence, highlighting where current AI excels and where significant gaps remain compared to human cognition.
