Research that can contribute to the development of AGI by identifying how consciousness/cognition evolved in living processes

A number of key challenges stand in the way of the development of HLAI and AGI. However, overcoming them has been handicapped by a lack of relevant progress in the human sciences: they have failed to produce clear understandings of how some key functions that are absent in current AI are enabled in humans. 

A paper just published in the journal BioSystems deals with some of these key issues: for example, it identifies at a cybernetic/systems level how consciousness, 'real-time' …
