Conference Mission<\/span><\/h2>\n

Continuing the mission of the highly successful First and Second AGI Conferences<\/em>, AGI-10 will gather an international group of leading academic and industry researchers involved in serious scientific and engineering work aimed directly toward the goal of artificial general intelligence. This is the only major conference series devoted wholly and specifically to the creation of AI systems possessing general intelligence at the human level and ultimately beyond. By gathering together active researchers in the field, for presentation of results and discussion of ideas, we accelerate our progress toward our common goal.<\/p>\n

Artificial General Intelligence<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The original goal of the AI field was the construction of \u201cthinking machines\u201d \u2013 that is, computer systems with human-like general intelligence. Due to the difficulty of this task, for the last few decades the majority of AI researchers have focused on what has been called \u201cnarrow AI\u201d \u2013 the production of AI systems displaying intelligence regarding specific, highly constrained tasks.
\nIn recent years, however, more and more researchers have recognized the necessity \u2013 and feasibility \u2013 of returning to the original goals of the field. Increasingly, there is a call for a transition back to confronting the more difficult issues of \u201chuman level intelligence\u201d and more broadly \u201cartificial general intelligence (AGI).\u201d<\/p>\n

Paper Submissions<\/span>
\n <\/span><\/h2>\n

Submitting<\/h2>\n

Submissions should be\u00a0submitted electronically to EasyChair<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>(you may need to\u00a0Create an EasyChair Account<\/a> first).<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether an accepted paper (either full-length or short position statement) will be presented as a talk or as a poster will be determined by the Program Committee, in part based on paper quality as assessed by the anonymous reviewers, and in part according to the extent the paper addresses a topic of core interest to the AGI community.<\/span><\/p>\n

The acceptance of a paper is based on the assumption that one of the authors will attend the conference to present the paper. Any questions can be directed to one of the\u00a0conference chairs<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Formatting<\/h2>\n

AGI-10 will accept two types of submissions: full-length papers (6 pages) and short position statements (2 pages). Submissions should generally, but not strictly, follow AAAI guidelines<\/a> using one of the following templates (appreciation goes to AAAI for allowing us to use their docs as a guide)<\/span>:<\/p>\n
