Abstract

This paper discuses attentional control mechanism of several systems in context of Artificial General Intelligence. Attentional control mechanism of OpenNARS, an implementation of Non-Axiomatic Reasoning System for research purposes is being introduced with description of the related functions and demonstration examples. Paper also implicitly compares OpenNARS attentional mechanism with the one found in other Artificial General Intelligence systems.
