MIRIx and Artificial General Intelligence

An Artificial general intelligence (http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Artificial_general_intelligence), or AGI, is a machine capable of behaving intelligently over many domains. The term can be taken as a contrast to narrow AI, systems that do things that would be considered intelligent if a human were doing them, but that lack the sort of general, flexible learning ability that would let them tackle entirely new domains.

Less wrongers are friendly and intelligent, and care about developing friendly artificial general intelligence.

The Machine Intelligence Research Institute (MIRI (https://intelligence.org/research/)) develops mathematical models of AGI and value systems that would make it friendly. The MIRIx (https://intelligence.org/mirix/)workshop, like the TEDx workshop, "encourages mathematicians, computer scientists, and formal philosophers to organize their own Friendly AI workshops,".

We might talk about MIRIx workshops, but we'll definitely talk about AI. Come on over!
