The Tenth Annual Conference on Artificial General Intelligence, AGI-17,
http://agi-conf.org/2017
will be held in Melbourne, Australia (August 15-18, 2017),
immediately preceding the IJCAI-17 conference.

This is an unprecedentedly exciting time to be working in the AGI field. Today, in 2017, the quest to create AI systems with general intelligence at the human level and beyond is taken more seriously by a broader community than ever before. There has been no better time in history to gather together with other AGI researchers and learn and discuss and share together, regarding how best to take the next steps toward advanced artificial general intelligence.

And if you’ve been waiting for an excuse to visit amazing Australia, this is it!

The paper submission deadline will be April 25; please see

for further relevant dates.

Peter Cheeseman is confirmed as keynote speakers.
Additional keynote speakers, workshops and tutorials will be determined during the coming weeks.

We are also seeking proposal for workshops, tutorials and demos.

We look forward to seeing you in Melbourne!

Yours,
