For over 18 years, the AGI Conference has stood as the world’s premier forum for the exploration and advancement of Artificial General Intelligence. From its early days as a bold academic workshop to its current status as a globally recognized gathering of top researchers, philosophers, engineers, and futurists, the AGI Conference continues to define the cutting edge of general-purpose intelligence. With each passing year, the urgency and importance of AGI research grows — and AGI-25 promises to be our most ambitious and globally resonant edition yet.

Today, we are thrilled to invite you to the 18th Annual AGI Conference, AGI-25, taking place from August 10–13, 2025, hosted at Reykjavík University, Iceland, and accessible worldwide via virtual attendance.

Now in its eighteenth year, AGI-25 brings together a global community of researchers, philosophers, engineers, and visionaries to examine the frontiers of general intelligence in machines — and the ethical, societal, and scientific implications that follow.

With a rapidly evolving technological landscape and a growing public awareness of AI’s potential, AGI-25 is not only a gathering of the world’s leading AI and AGI minds, it’s also a collaborative exploration of what’s possible, what’s ethical, and what lies ahead.

Register today to join us in Iceland — or virtually from anywhere on Earth — and become part of the movement shaping the next era of intelligence.

A Global Forum for the Future of AGI

AGI-25 continues the AGI Society’s proud tradition of gathering the world’s foremost thinkers to share the latest theoretical, philosophical, and technical advances in AGI.

With a curated program of research papers, visionary keynotes, and dynamic poster sessions, AGI-25 invites attendees into a dense field of bold ideas and evolving paradigms.

As always, AGI-25 will be fully hybrid: the entire main stage program will be livestreamed, ensuring global access to the most important conversations in AGI today.

Key Themes at AGI-25

The AGI-25 agenda spans a wide range of research areas, including:

• Quantum cognition and emergent computation
• Consciousness and subjectivity in intelligent systems
• Embodied agency, motivation, and cognitive control
• Safe superintelligence and alignment strategies
• Ethics and governance of machine minds
• Hybrid cognitive architectures and biological models

From neuroscience and quantum theory to machine ethics and cognitive science, their collective work represents some of the most state-of-the-art thinking in the field of AGI.

Why AGI Matters; And Why You Should Join

AGI is not just a milestone in computer science. It has the potential to redefine how we live, govern, create, and understand ourselves. Whether it brings breakthroughs in health, climate, creativity, or consciousness itself, the development of AGI will shape the course of the 21st century.

AGI-25 is your opportunity to take part in this transformation — to question, connect, and contribute alongside those building the future of intelligence.

Whether you’re a seasoned researcher, a curious student, a policymaker, or an entrepreneur, your perspective is welcome. We believe AGI is too important to be built in isolation.

“This year’s conference will feature a truly remarkable convergence of disciplines, perspectives, and generations. AGI researchers from neuroscience, cognitive science, philosophy, engineering, and an array of other disciplines will contribute and engage with each other in pivotal ways. Together, we will sharpen AGI’s core questions and move research conversations forward. This year’s conference will provide an ecosystem of minds, each one carrying a fragment of something larger, working to answer questions none of us can answer alone. Real progress happens within this sort of environment. That’s why AGI-25 matters.”

Dr. Matthew Ikle, Chief Science Officer, SingularityNET

Join Us in Reykjavík — or Online

We believe that the development of AGI is too important to be confined to a single room or audience. That’s why AGI-25 is both global and personal; held in person at Reykjavík University and fully accessible online, free to stream from anywhere in the world.

Whether you’re attending on campus or tuning in from across the globe, you’ll have the opportunity to engage with the ideas, people, and questions shaping one of the most transformative technologies of our time.

Register now to attend AGI-25 in person or online.
