Join us at the Complex tomorrow night at 6pm for Dr. Pei Wang's talk
on AGI & thanks to Marko Rodriguez for pulling this together:
TITLE: Artificial General Intelligence
SPEAKER: Pei Wang, Temple University
ABSTRACT: In recent years, more and more researchers think it
is the time to return to the original goal of "Artificial
Intelligence" (AI), that is, to build "thinking machines" that
are as intelligent as human beings. To distinguish this kind
of work from the conventional "AI research", which has turned
to specific problems in special domains, this emerging
community calls itself "Artificial General Intelligence"
(AGI). This talk will briefly describe this field in
non-technical language.
BIOGRAPHY: Dr. Pei Wang is an Associate Professor at Temple
University. Dr. Wang received his PhD in Computer Science and
Cognitive Science from Indiana University, and his M.S. and
B.S. in Computer Science, both from Peking University. His
research project is NARS (Non-Axiomatic Reasoning System), a
general-purpose reasoning system. The system can learn from
its experience and work with insufficient knowledge and
resources, and carry out many cognitive functions in a unified
way. Dr. Wang is the Co-Chair of the Program Committee
of the First Conference on Artificial General Intelligence,
and the Chief Executive Editor of the Journal of Artificial
General Intelligence.
