AGI-14 will feature talks and posters, keynote speeches, and demonstrations. Beside the main conference, there will be tutorials and workshops.<\/p>\n<p>AGI conferences are organized by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.agi-society.org\/\">Artificial General Intelligence Society<\/a>, in cooperation with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aaai.org\/home.html\">Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence<\/a> (AAAI). The proceedings of AGI-14 will be published as a book in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.springer.com\/series\/1244\">Springer\u2019s Lecture Notes in AI<\/a> series, and all the accepted papers will be available online.<\/p>\n<p>See the Call for Papers <a href=\" https:\/\/agi-conf.org\/2014\/call-for-papers\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cArtificial General Intelligence\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, however, more and more researchers have recognized the necessity \u2013 and feasibility \u2013 of returning to the original goals of the field by treating intelligence as a whole. Increasingly, there is a call for a transition back to confronting the more difficult issues of \u201chuman-level intelligence\u201d and more broadly artificial general intelligence. AGI research differs from the ordinary AI research by stressing on the versatility and wholeness of intelligence, and by carrying out the engineering practice according to an outline of a system comparable to the human mind in a certain sense.<\/p>\n<p>The AGI conference series has played, and continues to play, a significant role in this resurgence of research on artificial intelligence in the deeper, original sense of the term of &#8220;artificial intelligence&#8221;. The conferences encourage interdisciplinary research based on different understandings of intelligence, and exploring different approaches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AGI-14 @ Quebec City, Canada&nbsp; August 1 &#8211; 4, 2014 Continuing the mission of the past AGI conferences, AGI-14 gathers an international group of leading academic and industry researchers involved in scientific and engineering work aimed directly toward the goal of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).\u00a0 AGI-14@Quebec City will be held from August 1 &#8211; 4 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/agi-conf.org\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/agi-conf.org\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/agi-conf.org\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agi-conf.org\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agi-conf.org\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/agi-conf.org\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":166,"href":"https:\/\/agi-conf.org\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4\/revisions\/166"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/agi-conf.org\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
