You could look at the papers published in past AGI conferences for people/topics that seem relevant or worthwhile. E.g. AGI 2013, AGI 2012. There’s also a Journal of Artificial General Intelligence whose past issues you could browse.
For something more “mainstream-friendly”, there are the various computational cognitive architectures that have been developed in cognitive psychology, such as ACT-R and LIDA. Stan Franklin, one of the people behind LIDA, has also had some involvement with the AGI community.
Am I naive to hope that I can do anything useful and fulfilling (based on the given data) in this area (“strong AI”)?
I don’t know what the requirements for a Bachelor’s thesis at your university are, but at mine, you could do a Bachelor’s thesis that was basically just a literature review and didn’t even try to produce any new information. Even if you couldn’t actually contribute anything new at this point, even taking this opportunity to familiarize yourself with the existing work in the field would probably be useful for your future efforts.
Thank you. I’m just going to go through the papers publishers. Great idea!
The “mainstream-friendly” stuffs are maybe the middle-path for which I’m looking for, since response from Risto_Saarelma is pretty explanatory about my possibilities.
And it is possible to do similar kind of Bachelor’s thesis and I believe it would be possible. That is not a problem. But, to be honest, I’d like to do some work which I find fulfilling even at tiniest amount. I’m doing literature review in my free-time.
