The First Conference on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI-08)
March 1-3, 2008 at Memphis, Tennessee, USA
Early Registration Deadline: January 31, 2008
Conference Website: http://www.agi-08.org

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) research focuses on the original and ultimate goal of AI --- to create intelligence as a whole. AGI seeks to create software or hardware systems that are "generally intelligent" in roughly the same sense that humans are, rather than being specialized problem-solvers such as most of the systems currently studied in the AI field.

Current research in the AGI field is vigorous and diverse, exploring a wide range of possible paths, including theoretical and experimental computer science, cognitive science, neuroscience, and innovative interdisciplinary methodologies.

AGI-08 is the very first international conference in this emerging field of science and engineering. The conference is organized with the cooperation of AAAI, and welcomes researchers and students in all relevant disciplines.

Different from conventional conferences, AGI-08 is planned to be intensively discussion oriented. All the research papers accepted for publication in the Proceedings (49 papers total) will be available in advance online, so that attendees may arrive prepared to discuss the relevant issues with the authors and each other. The sessions of the conference will be organized to facilitate open and informed intellectual exchange on themes of common interest.

Besides the technical discussions, time will also be scheduled at AGI-08 for an exploratory discussion of possible ways to work toward the formation of a more cohesive AGI research community -- including future conferences, publications, organizations, etc.

After the two-and-half day conference, there will be a half day workshop on the broader implications of AGI technology, including ethical, sociological and futurological considerations.

Yours,

Organizing Committee, AGI-08

Registration should be open soon, as we're putting a lot of effort into making this one successful. In terms of non-profit events, this will be my main focus over the next few month.

I'm also fairly confident that my spelling ability isn't up to par.

Well, I've got lab midterms sandwhiching that whole weekend, so I probably won't make it.

I'm told their is life after college. Doesn't look like I'll be seeing it, though.
