AGI-24 is recognized as the premier conference dedicated entirely to the research and development of AGI. This year’s event promises to highlight groundbreaking research, showcasing the latest advancements on the frontiers of the development of AGI.

Can’t attend the event live?

No problem, the main stage activities will be livestreamed on the SingularityNET YouTube channel for everyone to enjoy. The development and imminent arrival of AGI concerns all of humanity. We believe everyone should have the ability to watch, learn, and participate in the premier event in the world of AGI.

Join Us for a Comprehensive Exploration into the Future of AGI

At its core, the AGI-24 Conference has one mission. That mission is to create a platform where the latest research in AGI can be shared, discussed, and developed further.

Right now, there is a growing realization that human-level or even superhuman AGI might be attainable soon. This sparks more interest in understanding AGI’s nature and the possible paths to its development.

By inviting you, we ask you to participate in this collaborative exploration of the latest and greatest in AGI research. With 18 papers, 7 posters, and 15 keynotes from some of the most respected thought leaders in AGI, the AGI-24 Conference will provide invaluable insights into the future of this transformative field.

Given its potential to impact every facet of our lives and revolutionize our world, we firmly believe that AGI research should be accessible to everyone, everywhere.

That’s why AGI-24 will be held both online and in-person, allowing participants from around the world to join. The live event in Seattle will feature an interactive exhibition hall with demos, posters, and presentations, giving attendees the chance to engage directly with researchers and developers.

Key Themes of the AGI-24 Conference

AGI-24 will explore and answer important questions such as:

  • What kinds of AGI systems may be feasible to create in the near term. What are their relative strengths and weaknesses?
  • What are the biggest unsolved problems we need to resolve to achieve human-level AGI?
  • What are the right ways to measure the capabilities of AI systems as they approach and then exceed human-level intelligence?
  • What are the most feasible methodologies to provide emerging AGI systems with the cognitive and ethical guidance they need?

And ultimately, how will the advent of AGI alter the fabric of society, our jobs, and our daily lives?

The conference will cover a wide range of topics including:
