Volunteers for AGI12?

[Anders Sandberg]

The Future of Humanity Institute is hosting the Fifth Conference on
Artificial General Intelligence at Oxford this year, and immediately
afterwards we are running a conference called AGI-Impacts about the risks
and philosophical issues surrounding AGI.

http://agi-conference.org/2012/
http://www.winterintelligence.org/

The conferences are on December 8-11, and we have a few slots for
volunteers. In exchange for helping the FHI with running the conference---
registering and helping attendees, making sure talks go smoothly, and
dealing with other issues as they come up--- volunteers would get free
attendance to all of the AGI and AGI-Impacts talks, lunches, and coffee
breaks.

The conference is going to have all kinds of fun people at it--- AI
researchers, philosophers, Singularity Institute folks, FHI folks, and so
on. AGI conference talks are usually very informative about what's going on
in the world of human-like AI research, and we expect the AGI-Impact talks
to be very interesting to anyone who cares about the shape of the future---
we have Steve Omohundro, Bruce Schneier, and Nick Bostrom giving keynotes,
and Carl Shulman, Robin Hanson, Stuart Armstrong, and me presenting
papers, just to drop a few names :)

We'd really appreciate it if you can volunteer to help! If you're
interested, or just want to know more, talk to me, Sean O'Heigeartaigh sean.ohei...@philosophy.ox.ac.uk or email f...@philosophy.ox.ac.uk.

Best,
Anders
