Where will artificial general intelligence come from?

When he says "artificial life", is he referring to reinforcement learning?

Artificial Life is a field with very fuzzy boundaries. Roughly, computer systems that look like biological or ecological systems.

From an AL perspective, life evolves to function in it's ecology. The problem is not building an AGI, it's building an ecology in which AGI will emerge.

Oh... and hopefully, also one in which ruthlessly destroying other intelligent agents isn't a good survival strategy.

No, probably evolution strategies.

Yes. Evolution strategies are just an alternative approach to RL. Reinforcement learning is basically solving the problem of being an intelligent agent in the world, moving about, achieving goals.
