Toward Human-Level Artificial Intelligence: Technological Foundations and Trajectories
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background of study: Human-Level Artificial Intelligence (HLAI) represents one of the most formidable dreams in laptop technology, aiming to create structures able to cognition, perception, and reasoning similar to people. Despite splendid development in slender AI programs, the development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) remains confined by conceptual, technical, and moral demanding situations.
Aims and scope of paper: This paper pursuits to analyze the theoretical foundations, technological enablers, and ethical dimensions of HLAI. It seeks to distinguish HLAI from slender AI and to make clear the clinical, engineering, and societal problems concerned in constructing structures with human-like intelligence.
Methods: The have a look at adopts a conceptual and literature-based totally method, synthesizing insights from synthetic intelligence, cognitive science, neuroscience, and ethics. Key frameworks and latest research are reviewed to pick out common concepts, technological developments, and unresolved challenges shaping the evolution of HLAI.
Result: The evaluation highlights essential enablers which include device gaining knowledge of, herbal language processing, laptop vision, and robotics as important pathways in the direction of HLAI. Findings screen that at the same time as development in these domain names is good sized, reaching popular intelligence calls for deeper integration of cognitive modeling, neural architectures, and moral alignment mechanisms.
Conclusion: The study shows that collaboration across sectors and designs with principles and safety in mind are important steps to create artificial brains that are robust and reliable. This underlines the need for ethical governance and adaptation of human values to cushion the risk associated with uncontrolled AI development.
