The AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) conference series plays a
significant role in the resurgence of research on artificial
intelligence in the deeper, original sense of the term of “artificial
intelligence”. The conference encourages interdisciplinary research
based on different understandings of intelligence, and exploring
different approaches. As the AI field becomes increasingly
commercialized and well accepted, maintaining and emphasizing a coherent
focus on the AGI goals at the heart of the field remains more critical
than ever.
