I’m not sure whether AGI won’t come until AI is social—i.e. the mistake is to think of it intelligence as a property of an individual machine, whereas it’s more a a property of a transducer (that’s of a sufficient level of complexity) embedded in a network. That is so even when it’s working relatively independently of the network.
IOW, the tools and materials of intelligence are a social product, even if an individual transducer that’s relatively independent works with them in an individual act of intelligence. When I say “product” I mean that the meaning itself is distributed in amongst the network and doesn’t reside in any individual.

No AGI until social AI.
