Abstract
Cognitive architectures (CAs) provide foundational frameworks for designing artificial general intelligence (AGI) systems that emulate the structural and functional properties of human cognition. Unlike narrow AI models excelling in specific tasks, CAs aim to integrate core cognitive capabilities—perception, memory, learning, reasoning, and action—within a unified, biologically inspired system. This paper argues that CAs are indispensable for achieving human-like AGI, as they explicitly model the hierarchical dependencies, adaptive control mechanisms, and resource-constrained processing inherent to natural intelligence. We analyze how hybrid architectures (e.g., combining symbolic reasoning ...
