Continuing the mission of the past AGI conferences, AGI-16 gathers an international group of leading academic and industry researchers involved in scientific and engineering work aimed directly toward the goal of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). AGI-16 @ New York will be held from July 16-19 of 2016, on the campus of the New School in Lower Manhattan. As a special event for 2016, the AGI-16 conference will be co-located with three other related conferences -- BICA-16, the Neural-Symbolic Workshop 2016 and the AI & Cognition Workshop 2016 -- as part of the overall Human-Level Intelligence 2016 (HLAI-16) event. AGI conferences are organized by the Artificial General Intelligence Society, in cooperation with the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI). The proceedings of AGI-16 will be published as a book in Springer's Lecture Notes in AI series, and all the accepted papers will be available online.
