I'm becoming convinced that these algorithms are huge steps towards AGI simply because AGI might end up being a collection of many of these domain-specific networks with a network sitting above them who's only role is to interrogate the sub networks for solutions to the problem at hand, and discriminate which solution(s) are most worth trying, simulating those and then picking one out and executing it in the real world. That seems to me to be pretty close to what we as humans do.
