Abstract

Systems for general intelligence require a significant poten- tial to model a variety of different cognitive abilities. It is often claimed that logic-based systems ­ although rather suc- cessful for modeling specialized tasks ­ lack the ability to be useful as a universal modeling framework due to the fact that particular logics can often be used only for special pur- poses (and do not cover the whole breadth of reasoning abili- ties) and show significant weaknesses for tasks like learning, pattern matching, or controlling behavior. This paper argues against this thesis by exemplifying that logic-based frame- works can be used to integrate different reasoning types and can function as a coding scheme for the integration of sym- bolic and subsymbolic approaches. In particular, AGI sys- tems can be based on logic frameworks.
