A position paper published on June 11, 2026, on ArXiv AI presents the argument that hippocampal explicit memory is vital for achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
The paper discusses how Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown impressive abilities across a range of tasks, which has led to heightened expectations for AGI.
By emphasizing the importance of hippocampal memory, the authors aim to shed light on a potentially foundational aspect of cognitive architecture necessary for AGI.
