Minor quibble with this:
By "AI," we refer to general AI rather than narrow AI. That is, we refer to "systems which match or exceed the cognitive performance of humans in virtually all domains of interest"
My problem is:
Given that precision of the basic terminology is really important here, would it be worth pointing out that the definition of AI basically follows from the definition of intelligence, rather than making them sound like related but subtly different concepts?
Good catch, thanks.
Anna Salamon and I have finished a draft of "Intelligence Explosion: Evidence and Import", under peer review for The Singularity Hypothesis: A Scientific and Philosophical Assessment (forthcoming from Springer).
Your comments are most welcome.
