106 - Guest: Ben Goertzel, AGI researcher, SingularityNET Founder

This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ .   We've talked a lot about artificial general intelligence (AGI) on the show, but never as much as in this interview, when we talk with Mr. AGI himself, Ben Goertzel. Ben wrote a book, Artificial General Intelligence, founded the AGI Society and SingularityNET, and wrote Ten Years to the Singularity if We Really, Really, Try. He was Chief Scientist of Hanson Robotics and was one of the first people to popularize the term AGI. In part 1, we talk about how he got into AGI, his new AGI hardware platform, human-AGI distinctions, and what it would be like for a robot to go to MIT. Really, this episode is packed! All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines. Transcript and URLs referenced at HumanCusp Blog.
