I am at WORLDCOMP this week. I attended a panel entitled "Virtual Intelligence vs. Artificial Intelligence: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" today. This apparently also occurred at last year's WORLDCOMP, but I didn't attend last year.
By Artificial Intelligence they were referring to AGI. By Virtual Intelligence they were referring to weak AI. The discussions were reminiscent of early discussions here on the AGI forum, so having been through years of this stuff on this forum, I was the shining light in this discussion. Yea, I know, I am a poor advocate for AGI, but I did what I could, pointing out this forum, Novamente, etc., etc. WORLDCOMP is THE biggest multi-disciplinary computer-related conference in the world - but there is no AGI representation there. Someone should wake up and submit a paper that brings AGI to WORLDCOMP and to the world, e.g. explaining Novamente, et al. Another possibility might be to put the AGI conference under the WORLDCOMP umbrella, as 20 other conferences have already done. I am NOT a passionate promoter of AGI, but I think the interests of everyone associated with AGI would be advanced if AGI could at least be well represented at WORLDCOMP. If someone (like YOU Ben) wants to step forward and close this gap, I have all of the contact information needed to make this happen. Any interest?
