Also, AGI is not just around the corner. We need artificial comprehension for that, and we don't even have a theory how comprehension works. Comprehension is the fusing of separate elements into new functional wholes, dynamically abstracting observations, evaluating them for plausibility, and reconstituting the whole - and all instantaneously, for security purposes, of every sense constantly. We have no technology that approaches that.

Another way to put it is we need Artificial Intelligence. Right now the term has been co-opted to mean prediction (and more commonly transcript generation). The stuff you're describing are what's commonly thought of as intelligence, it's too bad we need a new word for it.

No, we have the intelligence part, we know what to do when we have the answers. What we don't know is how to derive the answers without human intervention at all, not even our written knowledge. Artificial comprehension will not require anything beyond senses, observations through time, which builds a functional world model from observation and interaction, capable of navigating the world as a communicating participant. Note I'm not talking about agency, also called "will", which is separate from both intelligence and comprehension. Where intelligence is "knowing", comprehension is the derivation of knowing from observation and interaction alone, and agency is the entirely other ability to choose action over in action, to employ comprehension to affect the world, and for what purpose?
