  I wrote this paper because technology can really improve people's lives. With
it, we can live longer in a healthy body, save time through increased
efficiency and automation, and make better decisions. To get to the next level,
we need to start looking at intelligence from a much broader perspective, and
promote international interdisciplinary collaborations. Section 1 of this paper
delves into sociology and social psychology to explain that the mechanisms
underlying intelligence are inherently social. Section 2 proposes a method to
classify intelligence, and describes the differences between weak and strong
intelligence. Section 3 examines the Chinese Room argument from a different
perspective. It demonstrates that a Turing-complete machine cannot have strong
intelligence, and considers the modifications necessary for a computer to be
intelligent and have understanding. Section 4 argues that the existential risk
caused by the technological explosion of a single agent should not be of
serious concern. Section 5 looks at the AI control problem and argues that it
is impossible to build a super-intelligent machine that will do what it
creators want. By using insights from biology, it also proposes a solution to
the control problem. Section 6 discusses some of the implications of strong
intelligence. Section 7 lists the main challenges with deep learning, and
asserts that radical changes will be required to reach strong intelligence.
Section 8 examines a neuroscience framework that could help explain how a
cortical column works. Section 9 lays out the broad strokes of a road map
towards strong intelligence. Finally, section 10 analyzes the impacts and the
challenges of greater intelligence.
