CALL FOR PAPERS: 'IMPACTS AND RISKS OF ARTIFICIAL GENERAL INTELLIGENCE' (AGI-IMPACTS 2012)
10-11 December 2012, OXFORD http://www.winterintelligence.org/oxford2012/agi-impacts/cfp/ Deadline for abstract submission: 31.08.2012 The first conference on the Impacts and Risks of Artificial General Intelligence will take place at the University of Oxford, St. Anne’s College, on December 10th and 11th, 2012 – immediately following the fifth annual conference on Artificial General Intelligence AGI-12 (http://agi-conf.org/2012) at the same location. AGI-Impacts is organized by the “Future of Humanity Institute” (FHI) at Oxford University through its “Programme on the Impacts of Future Technology”. The two events form the Winter Intelligence Multi-Conference 2012, hosted by FHI. http://www.winterintelligence.org The conference will explore questions such as: How can we best predict the impact of as future intelligent and superintelligent machines? How can we combine ideas from computer science, mathematics and philosophy to best estimate this impact? What will be the impacts of AGI on the world? Which directions of research should be most explored, and which should be de-emphasized or avoided? What can we do to best ensure scientific rigour in this non-experimental academic field? What are the best ideas and methods for ensuring both safety and predictability of advanced AI systems? Can we lay the foundations to a field of rigorous study of realistic AGI control methods that lead to implementable security protocols? Keynote speakers: Bruce Schneier, Steve Omohundro [TBC] SUBMISSION – PUBLICATION - PRIZE Please submit your paper to our easychair conference website http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=agiimpacts2012 Submit an abstract of ca. 400-800 words, with author contact information by August 31st, 2012. A selection of papers from AGI-Impacts 2012 will be published in a special volume of the 'Journal of Experimental & Theoretical Artificial Intelligence' in 2013. Presenters at this conference and at the AGI-12 conference are eligible for the '2012 Turing Prize for Best AGI Safety Paper': The Singularity Institute sponsors a $1000 prize for a paper or contribution to ‘AGI-12′ and ‘AGI-Impacts 2012′ in recognition of exceptional research on the question of how to develop safe architectures or goals for artificial general intelligence (AGI).
