8-11 December 2012
Oxford, U.K.
Hi, I'm pleased to announce the Fifth Artificial General Intelligence Conference, to be held Dec. 8-11 2012, at Oxford University in the UK. The AGI@Oxford Call for Papers is here: http://agi-conf.org/2012/call-for-papers/ Paper submissions are due July 15, two months from now. Proposals for workshops and tutorials are also solicited. Continuing the mission of the first four AGI conferences, AGI-12@Oxford gathers an international group of academic and industry researchers involved in scientific and engineering work aimed directly toward the goal of artificial general intelligence. The AGI conferences are the only major conference series devoted wholly and specifically to the creation of AI systems possessing general intelligence at the human level and ultimately beyond. Appropriately for this Alan Turing centenary year, this is the first AGI conference to be held in the UK. We urge you to come to AGI-12 and join the community of researchers seriously working toward the creation of advanced generally intelligent machines of the sort that Alan Turing foresaw. AGI-12@Oxford will feature invited and contributed talks on all areas of AGI, poster presentations, workshops, tutorials, and technology demonstrations. As in prior AGi conferences, there will be ample panel discussions and occasions for open collaborative discussion on key AGI issues. Keynote speakers will be announced shortly. AGI-12@Oxford will be followed by a related conference, AGI-Impacts, hosted by Oxford's Future of Humanity Institute and focused on the broader implications of AGI. AGI-12 attendees will get free admission to AGI-Impacts. These are exciting times -- each year we move a little closer to the goal of creating advanced AGI, due to the efforts of all who come to conferences like AGI-12 and otherwise contribute to the field.
