I'm only peripherally involved with ML/AI in that I try and apply some helpful techniques to biological problems but recently I have enjoyed listening to discussions around AGI but most of the papers I've come across from a quick google scholar search seem to be *about* AGI and not attempts at implementing something closer to, or approaching, AGI.
Is that a fair assessment? Has my lack of depth in the field given me a false initial glance?
Are there any authors/labs working on AGI in particular whose papers you would recommend reading?
e.g. "Artificial General Intelligence vs. Industry 4.0: Do They Need Each Other?", "Deep Learning and Artificial General Intelligence: Still a Long Way to Go", "Why general artificial intelligence will not be realized", and, "Approaches to Artificial General Intelligence: An Analysis", all seem to be about AGI in contrast to, "Towards artificial general intelligence via a multimodal foundation model", which attempts to implement something.
Full disclosure: I haven't read these papers yet. I am trying to find good, reputable papers to read.
