Abstract
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is a term that describes a variant of a Strong AI revival in the mind sciences. Irrespective of its definition limits, and leaving aside the non-scientific metaphysical or philosophical aspirations, AGI studies the feasibility and implementation aspects of artificial systems that would have the capacity of domain non-specific (domaingeneral) human-level intelligence. The importance of self-organization in natural neural systems as well as in neuromimetic computational systems, especially the class of Self-Organizing Map (SOM) neural networks, has been extensively demonstrated and supported in the literature. Neurocomputational self-organization exhibits unique characteristics, including non-deterministic epigenetic (post-genetic) behavior, which enable direct functional and structural comparisons with the neocortex more than most existing relevant computational mechanisms. If the problem of artificial general intelligence is approached from a biologically relevant computational standpoint then SOM mechanisms are currently a very strong candidate as a core component of a computational AGI system.
Neurocomputational self-organization, particularly Self-Organizing Map (SOM) neural networks, is a strong candidate for a core component of artificial general intelligence systems.
