Report on the Sixth Conference on Artificial General Intelligence

Motivated by the original idea of artificial intelligence in the 1950s and 1960s, there has been a revival of research in general intelligence during the last years. The annual AGI conference series, which is the major event in this area, has been held in cooperation with AAAI since 2008. The sixth conference on AGI was held at Peking University, Beijing, from July 31 to August 3, 2013. AGI-13 was collocated with the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI 2013), the major international AI conference. This was the first time an AGI conference took place in Asia.
