About Us

AGI Society

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is an emerging field aiming at the building of “thinking machines”; that is, general-purpose systems with intelligence comparable to that of the human mind (and perhaps ultimately well beyond human general intelligence).

While this was the original goal of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the mainstream of AI research has turned toward domain-dependent and problem-specific solutions; therefore it has become necessary to use a new name to indicate research that still pursues the “Grand AI Dream”. Similar labels for this kind of research include “Strong AI”, “Human-level AI”, etc.

AGI research differs from ordinary AI research by stressing 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.

The problems involved in creating general-purpose intelligent systems are very different from those involved in creating special-purpose systems. Therefore, this society is different from conventional AI research societies in its stress on the long-term potential of research towards the ultimate goal of AGI, rather than immediate applications.

The AGI Society is a nonprofit organization with the goals:

to facilitate co-operation and communication among those interested in the study and pursuit of AGI

to promote the study of artificial general intelligence (AGI), and the design of AGI systems.

to hold conferences and meetings for the communication of knowledge concerning AGI

to produce publications regarding AGI research and development

to publicize and disseminate by other means knowledge and views concerning AGI
