Measuring progress toward AGI: A cognitive framework
# Measuring progress toward AGI: A cognitive framework
Deconstructing general intelligence
Our framework draws on decades of research from psychology, neuroscience and cognitive science to develop a cognitive taxonomy. It identifies 10 key cognitive abilities that we hypothesize will be important for general intelligence in AI systems:
- Perception: extracting and processing sensory information from the environment
- Generation: producing outputs such as text, speech and actions
- Attention: focusing cognitive resources on what matters
- Learning: acquiring new knowledge through experience and instruction
- Memory: storing and retrieving information over time
- Reasoning: drawing valid conclusions through logical inference
- Metacognition: knowledge and monitoring of one’s own cognitive processes
- Executive functions: planning, inhibition and cognitive flexibility
- Problem solving: finding effective solutions to domain-specific problems
- Social cognition: processing and interpreting social information and responding appropriately in social situations
