Lets look at the most dominant types of AI algorithms and assign them to 6 different modules that an ideal AGI system capable of running a company should be composed of.
The systems needs to obtain sources of data, detect entities and features, predict future developments, understand trends, make decisions, allocate resources and coordinate them, try novel configurations and setups and communicate with humans.
AGI Modules according to Function
Entity Detection and Monitoring Module
This module would handle structured and unstructured data in order to identify and classify all kinds of events, objects and their features. It would be able to detect all important pieces that will then be used in other modules for prediction, optimization, or decision-making.
