The Path to AGI Is Not What You Think It Is

Join us for a great program at the Agile Austin Product and AI SIG! Once you sign up, you'll receive an email with a calendar event and Zoom link.

Session Title:
The Path to AGI Is Not What You Think It Is

Abstract:
This talk will describe how the open-source non-profit Thousand Brains Project is reverse-engineering the neocortex to revolutionize AI.

We identified several core neocortical principles that guide our architecture design. These principles are fundamentally different from those used by current AI systems.

The talk will provide an overview of these principles and explain how intelligence is derived from sensorimotor learning, reference frames, and modularity. Then, the talk will examine future applications and current capabilities, highlighting major milestones that offer engineering and product opportunities.

Speaker: Tristan Slominski, Principal Engineer
