As of 09 August 2018 the workshop “AI4Space, AI for Space Exploration and Settlement” has been cancelled. In its place on Wednesday 22 August, 16:00-17:00, Joscha Bach will lead a “Panel session on Machine Consciousness.”

The poster session will take place Wednesday 22 August from 13:00-14:00. Poster holders are A0 size.

AGI-2018 will have a tutorial session on Wednesday 22 August from 10:00-12:00 as described in the link below:

Tutorial Session: “Comparing intrinsic motivations in a unified framework”

In addition to the keynote addresses as listed on the main HLAI program at Overall HLAI Program Schedule, there will be an additional keynote address on 24 August 2018 from 11:00-12:30 by Josef Urban with the title “No one shall drive us from the semantic AI paradise of computer-understandable math and science.”

The oral and poster presentations are scheduled as follows. Each presentation will be allotted 15 minutes. At the end of each session, there will be a panel session consisting of the presenters for that session.
