   So the closest I’ve come to a digestible attempt at an answer to “how do we get to general AI” and “what might it look like” is The Master Algorithm by Pedro Domingos. I found it to be really helpful tour of existing AI with an eye towards our (maybe?) general AI future.

   My general suggestion is to get a little more context about the understanding the brain to extract frameworks of intelligence.

   Two books general, popular books on the subject I recommend are:

   1/ The Master Algorithm - Pedro Domingos 2/ On Intelligence - Jeff Hawkins

   It's a good idea to read Jeff's previous book to see how he's built upon the original vision in A Thousand Brains.

   For your category 2 book I would recommend: The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24612233-the-master-algo... What I like about this book is that it covers the various ML camps. Not just Deep Learning, but the Baysean approach as well.
