The Eighth Conference on Artificial General Intelligence

AI technology is already having a major impact on the world economy; as narrow AI gives way to AGI, we can expect the impact to be even greater.

The AGI-15 Workshop on Socioeconomic Implications of AGI will focus on ways in which AGI may be expected to affect various industries, and the nature and structure of society as a whole, as it develops.
