Preface
This volume contains the papers presented at AGI 2022, the 15th Conference on
Artificial General Intelligence. The conference took place at The Crocodile in Seat-
tleduringAugust19–22,2022,andwasbroadcastliveviaZoomandco-sponsoredby
SingularityNET’sYouTubechannelforonlineparticipantsandviewers.
Spread over four days, the conference included two full-day and two half-day
workshops, eight keynote lectures, two fireside chats featuring AGI luminaries, two
panelsessions,acodedemonstration,eightsessionsofin-personandonlinecontributed
papersandtalks,twopostervideosessions,andafulldayofgeneralaudiencesessions
withleadingAGIresearchersandleaders.
Learning from our first attempt at a hybrid conference at AGI 2021 in Palo Alto,
California, the AGI 2022 hybrid conference process went smoothly and included
additionaltimeforonlinepaperpresentations.Inadditiontothefull-daydeepdivesinto
theNARSandOpenCog/HyperonAGIsystemsthathavebecomesomewhattraditional
intheAGIconferenceseries,thisyear’sconferencealsoincludedhalf-dayworkshops
on Interpretable Natural Language Processing and AGI in FinTech, as well as a full-
daydemonstrationofFutureAI’sBrainSimulatorII.Thethemeforthisyear’sgeneral

Researchersfromatleast19countriesattendedAGI2022,eitherin-personoronline.
As always, conference activities spawned numerous deep discussions on incredibly
diversetopicsoutsideofthevenueitself.

conference presentations and discussions spanned a wide and ever-evolving array of
topics. New this year were discussions on AGI hardware as well as the release of a
majoropen-sourcesoftwaretool,theDR-Learner.
