Timeline of Early AGI Projects
A compact timeline connecting classic AI, Novamente, OpenCog, LLMs, and reliable agent workflows.
- 1950: Alan Turing frames machine intelligence through the imitation game.
- 1956: The Dartmouth workshop gives artificial intelligence a formal starting point.
- 2001: Novamente-related cognition engine work emerges in the early AGI architecture period.
- 2004: The Novamente integrative architecture paper appears in the AAAI Fall Symposium.
- 2008: OpenCog develops as an open framework for AGI research.
- 2020s: LLMs, RAG, and agents make verification and workflow reliability the practical frontier.
