Articles Volume 1, Issue , July 2012, Pages 100-107 The BICA
Challenge is the challenge to create a general-purpose, real-
life computational equivalent of the human mind using an
approach based on biologically inspired cognitive architectures
(BICA). To solve it, we need to understand at a computational
level how natural intelligent systems develop their cognitive,
metacognitive and learning functions. The solution is expected
to lead us to a breakthrough to intelligent agents integrated
into the human society as its members. This outcome has the
potential to solve many problems of the modern world. The
article starts from the roadmap proposed by Dr. James Albus for
a national program unifying artificial intelligence,
neuroscience and cognitive science. The BICA Challenge is
introduced in this context as a waypoint on the expanded
roadmap. The gap between the state of the art and challenge
demands is analyzed. Specific problems and barriers are identifi
