AGI Society

Join us at the world's oldest and most prestigious gathering dedicated exclusively to general machine intelligence research: the 18th Annual Conference on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI-25) taking place from August 10-13, 2025, at Reykjavik University, Iceland. AGI-25 will convene a worldwide community of researchers and developers, including notable figures like Ben Goertzel, Richard Sutton, Tatiana Shavrina, Henry Minsky, and Kristinn R. Thórisson, all working on the latest innovations toward generally intelligent machines—the next evolution of AI. This year’s program will include mainstage keynotes and technical talks, hands-on workshops and tutorials, advanced software and hardware demonstrations, networking opportunities within our global community of innovators, and immersive experiences. Those unable to attend in person can tune in to the livestream sponsored by SingularityNET.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the second day of the 18th Annual AGI Conference. We appreciated the engagement with our keynote speakers Ben Goertzel, Henry Minsky, and Kristinn R. Thórisson, as well as the contributed research paper presentations. Join us again tomorrow for the final day of the Conference, starting at 9:00 AM UTC, to experience keynotes from Joscha Bach, Anna Ciaunica, Michael Levin and Hananel Hazan, a panel discussion featuring Josef Urban, Zarathustra Goertzel, Nil Geisweiller, and Adam V., and explore more pioneering research on the path to AGI, covering consciousness, ethics, compliance, AI alignment, and intelligence theory.

Dr. Howard Schneider from Sheppard Clinic North argues that the true value of Theory of Mind (ToM) in artificial systems lies not just in passing classic ToM tests but in functioning as a core mechanism to direct and control behavior in AGI systems.

Nathan DiGilio and Pulin Agrawal from The Pennsylvania State University explore the integration of a Vision-Language Model (VLM) and a cognitive architecture to create a context-aware, neuro-symbolic system capable of real-time media capture. The Learning Intelligent Decision Agent (LIDA), inspired by human cognition and the Global Workspace Theory, is paired with MobileCLIP, a state-of-the-art VLM that can interpret semantic information in visual data. This integration aims to enhance LIDA’s sensory system by providing robust, semantic understanding of real-world scenes while maintaining its decision-making and memory mechanisms.

Patrick Hammer, Robert Johansson, and Tony Lofthouse extend NARS with an implementation of acquired relations, enabling the system to explicitly derive both symmetric (mutual entailment) and novel relational combinations (combinatorial entailment) from minimal explicit training in a contextually controlled matching-to-sample (MTS) procedure.

Thoroughly enjoying #AGI25 so far https://agi-conf.org/2025/ Tune in to the livestream tomorrow, 13th August at 13.10 GMT for a presentation of our paper Contemplative Superalignment https://lnkd.in/db3gZPzU 🤖 As we approach AGI, traditional alignment strategies may falter. 🧘 Instead, we propose an intrinsic alignment approach inspired by contemplative wisdom, embedding mindfulness, emptiness, non-duality, and boundless care to instil a resilient Wise World Model within AI systems. 🧪 We present a theoretical framework to formalise this approach along with empirical evidence of its effectiveness in LLMs. SingularityNET AGI Society

Bowen Xu and Professor Pei Wang from the Department of Computer and Information at Temple University explore the essence of spatial sense and objects to propose a normative theory that aims to enable AGI systems to understand space and objects without assuming a predetermined-dimensional space or external objects.

Henry Minsky, CTO of Leela AI, showcased how Leela, a system that moves us towards robust explainable reasoning, grounded hierarchical planning, and self-directed discovery, learns through observation, imitation, and curiosity-driven active play, offering a concrete answer to a core autonomous machine learning question: “Who gives the reward, and for what?” Join us live for Day 2 of the AGI-25 Conference or watch the replay to explore pioneering research on the path to AGI: https://lnkd.in/eRMmFzCu #AGI25 #AGIconference #AGI #AI #ArtificialGeneralIntelligence #ArtificialIntelligence #AGIresearch #MachineLearning

Chloe Schaff and Kristinn R. Thórisson from the Center for Analysis and Design of Intelligent Agents (CADIA) at Reykjavik University present a set of what thet consider necessary cognitive faculties that must be coherently unified in a single agent architecture to automate the conceptual design process, and a set of minimum requirements that any agent capable of conceptual design must meet.

Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET and Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, outlines a generalization of Michael Timothy Bennett's theory of weakness from sets to quantales, and how this provides a unifying generalized-Occam heuristic guiding the application of a diversity of AI algorithms and processes, including the key reasoning, learning, and motivation ingredients of the PRIMUS AGI architecture being developed within the Hyperon framework.
