ABSTRACT
Regardless, I believe we can get most conceivable benefits from domain expert AI without any need for AGI. To me, a system is domain specific if
it cannot be switched to a different domain without redesigning it. I cannot take Deep Blue and use it to sort mail instead. I cannot take Watson and use it to drive cars. An AGI (for which I have no examples) would be capable of switching domains. If we take humans as an example of general intelligence, you can take an average person and make that person work as a cook, driver, babysitter, and so on without any need for redesigning them. You might need to spend some time teaching that person a new skill, but they can learn efficiently and perhaps just by looking at how it should be done. I cannot do this with domain expert AI. Deep Blue will not learn to sort mail regardless of how many times I demonstrate that process.
