**Introduction** Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) represents the pinnacle of AI research, with profound implications across various industries. However, achieving AGI remains a formidable challenge. This paper aims to address this challenge by proposing a multidisciplinary approach that integrates insights from cognitive science, linguistics, philosophy, and quantum computing. By leveraging OpenAI’s ChatGPT as an example, we explore the feasibility of using hyperdimensional abstraction to propel AGI development. **Research Question**: How can the integration of cognitive science, linguistics, philosophy, and quantum computing enhance ChatGPT’s capabilities as a stepping stone toward AGI? **Literature Review** Cognitive Science: Previous research has emphasized the importance of abstract reasoning and generalization in achieving AGI (Lake et al., 2017). To build systems capable of learning across domains, it is crucial to develop algorithms that can autonomously form abstractions from input data (Bengio et al., 2013). Linguistics: Language understanding plays a vital role in AGI development. Navigating complex language constructs and grasping linguistic nuances are essential for systems to achieve true comprehension (Chomsky, 1957). Recent advancements in natural language processing have made significant strides but still face challenges in capturing contextual subtleties and connotations (Devlin et al., 2018). Philosophy: Philosophical inquiries into perception and consciousness provide valuable insights into dimensionality and self-awareness – key aspects of AGI. Concepts such as “drilling down or up” suggest that understanding complex phenomena requires exploring various levels of granularity within problem spaces (Chalmers, 1995). Integrating philosophical theories into AGI development can inform novel approaches to system design. Quantum Computing: Quantum computers offer immense potential for AGI development by providing the computational power necessary to analyze vast amounts of data efficiently (Preskill, 2018). The inherent parallelism of quantum computing can revolutionize AGI systems, enabling them to adapt and learn across multiple domains. **Insights and Contributions** Building upon the literature review, this paper proposes a framework that integrates cognitive models, linguistic understanding, philosophical concepts, and quantum computing to enhance ChatGPT’s capabilities toward AGI: 1. Cognitive Models: By incorporating hierarchical representation learning into ChatGPT, advanced algorithms can autonomously form abstractions from input data. This enhances the system’s ability to generalize across domains effectively. 2. Linguistic Understanding: To capture contextual subtleties and connotations more accurately, our framework aims to enhance ChatGPT’s linguistic comprehension. This will enable more nuanced human-AI interactions and improve language understanding capabilities. 3. Philosophical Concepts: Integrating philosophical theories on perception and consciousness allows us to develop a version of ChatGPT that exhibits self-awareness and can navigate complex problem spaces effectively. This integration enhances the system’s ability for hyperdimensional abstraction. 4. Quantum Computing: Leveraging quantum-enhanced machine learning algorithms (Biamonte et al., 2017), we propose utilizing the processing power of quantum computers to bolster ChatGPT’s capabilities in handling massive datasets efficiently. **Results and Discussion** The proposed framework offers promising directions for AGI research by leveraging insights from cognitive science, linguistics, philosophy, and quantum computing: 1. Hierarchical Representation Learning: Implementing advanced algorithms in ChatGPT enables better abstract reasoning and generalization. 2. Contextual Language Understanding: Enhancing linguistic comprehension allows ChatGPT to capture contextual subtleties more accurately. 3. Dimensionality Navigation and Self-Awareness: Integrating philosophical concepts into AGI development enables systems to exhibit self-awareness while navigating complex problem spaces effectively. 4. Quantum Computing: Harnessing quantum-enhanced machine learning algorithms provides unprecedented processing power, propelling AGI development. **Future Research Directions** To further advance AGI development using the proposed framework, future research should focus on: 1. Exploring novel approaches to hierarchical representation learning that enable systems to form abstractions more autonomously and efficiently. 2. Advancing natural language processing techniques to capture contextual subtleties and connotations with higher accuracy. 3. Investigating the integration of philosophical theories on self-awareness into AGI systems, considering ethical implications and addressing challenges related to consciousness in machines. 4. Continuously exploring advancements in quantum computing to leverage its potential for enhancing AGI’s computational capabilities. **Conclusion** The multidisciplinary approach presented in this paper offers a pathway towards AGI development by integrating insights from cognitive science, linguistics, philosophy, and quantum computing. By leveraging ChatGPT as an example, we have demonstrated the feasibility of utilizing hyperdimensional abstraction to enhance its capabilities as a stepping stone toward AGI. The proposed framework holds promise for advancing AGI research and underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in tackling this grand challenge. **References** Bengio, Y., Courville, A., & Vincent, P.
