Ted,
Ben and Pei Wang are co-chairs of the program committee
and will certainly be there (also author of a couple
papers). I'm sure everyone would like to meet Ben's dad.
Cheers,
Bill

Ben,
Is this something you would be going to? I thought I might go I plan to
do some work on the singularity as part of my Communications course next
semester - the course will have "future studies" as a theme. You mentioned
you might have some ideas for work for me in this area.

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
