The next meeting of the Digital Culture Seminar

will be held on May 19, 2026 (Tuesday) at 10:00 a.m. in Room 256 of IMI – BAS.

A talk on:

Competing Conceptions of AGI

will be delivered by Pei Wang (Temple University, USA), Edior-in-Chief of the Journal of Artificial General Intelligence.

Abstract: While the term “Artificial General Intelligence” (AGI) has been used to identify a research field for 20 years, a consensus on its goal remains controversial. These divergent interpretations are not merely philosophical, as they lead to fundamentally different research agendas and engineering methodologies. In this talk, the NARS (Non-Axiomatic Reasoning System) project is introduced, with an outline of its assumptions, representations, inference rules, and working process. NARS offers a fundamentally different vision of AGI than the one implied by today’s LLMs.
