Shane Legg: Machine Super Intelligence (2008) [pdf]

This thesis explores the concept of universal artificial intelligence (AIXI) and its implications. It argues that AIXI agents can learn to perform optimally in a wide range of environments, despite having no explicit knowledge about them. The thesis also investigates the limitations of computable agents in approximating theoretical super intelligent models like AIXI. Additionally, it proposes ...
