Part 8/11:
Another compelling aspect of Lakhani's talk was the analogy he drew between human cognitive processes—specifically the concepts of System One and System Two thinking. He explained that current AI architectures primarily act within the reactive System One framework but are inching toward the more deliberative System Two mode of thought.
This transition is essential for achieving AGI, as Lakhani believes that reasoning capabilities need to evolve beyond token-based logic. He argues for an architecture that allows AI to perform reasoning in an abstract mental space, enabling it to plan and execute complex tasks without extensive pre-training or fine-tuning.
