Abstract
This paper analyzes the assumptions of the decision making models in the context of artificial general intelligence (AGI). It is argued that the traditional approaches, exemplified by decision theory and reinforcement learning, are inappropriate for AGI, because their fundamental assumptions on available knowledge and resource cannot be satisfied here. The decision making process in the AGI system NARS is introduced and compared with the traditional approaches. It is concluded that realistic decision-making models must acknowledge the insufficiency of knowledge and resources, and make assumptions accordingly.
