The Open AGI Summit, a pioneering conference exploring the
intersection of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and
decentralized technologies, is set to take place in Bangkok on
November 13th, 2024. This event coincides with DevCon, a major
blockchain developer conference, offering attendees a unique
opportunity to engage with both communities. It is being supported
by flagship partners Sentient, Polygon Labs, SCB 10X|SCBX, and
Google Cloud, among others.
Decentralization: A Path to Safe and Ethical AGI
With the rapid advancement towards AGI, concerns regarding
centralized control and potential societal risks are mounting. The
Open AGI Summit aims to address these anxieties by exploring how
decentralized, blockchain-powered governance models can foster
safer, more transparent, and ethically aligned AI
development.
The summit will also spotlight AI's potential to drive
innovation across diverse fields. By emphasizing collaborative
efforts and the ethical dimensions of AI, this event aspires to
chart a path toward a future where AGI serves as a tool for
universal benefit and prosperity.
Leading Voices Unite in Bangkok
The summit brings together prominent figures from the fields of
AI, blockchain, and web3. Confirmed speakers include:
- Pramod Viswanath, Sentient
- Sandeep Nailwal, Polygon
- Sreeram Kannan, Eigenlayer
- Tarun Chitra, Robot Ventures
- Illia Polosukhin, Near
- Juan Benet, IPFS
Sandeep Nailwal, a previous Open AGI Summit speaker, Co-founder
of Polygon and Core Contributor to Sentient, states: "As AI
continues to advance at an unprecedented rate, we face a critical
decision. Do we allow a handful of corporations to dominate this
powerful technology, creating a closed world where innovation is
stifled and benefits are concentrated? Or do we choose a future
where AI is open, transparent, and accessible to all, fostering a
more equitable and prosperous society? Blockchain technology offers
the promise of such an open world, ensuring that the benefits of AI
are distributed fairly and that its development is guided by
collective values."
Joining the talented speaker lineup is Pramod Viswanath, a
Forrest G. Hamrick Professor of Engineering at Princeton
University, Core Contributor to Sentient, and a leader in wireless
communication and blockchain technology. He was also a founding
engineer at Flarion Technologies, where he co-invented technologies
that laid the groundwork for 4G LTE networks, revolutionizing
mobile internet speeds.
Expect discussions to encompass a range of critical topics,
including technical advancements in AI safety research,
decentralized governance structures for AI systems, and ethical
considerations in AI development. Additionally, there will be a
focus on emerging applications at the crossroads of AI and
blockchain, highlighting the innovative synergy between these
technologies. The summit aims to provide a comprehensive overview
of the current state and future prospects of AGI, ensuring a
thorough exploration of its potential impacts and
challenges.
Fostering Collaboration: Academia, Industry, and Community
The Open AGI Summit seeks to bridge the gap between academic
advancements, industry expertise, and the vibrant decentralized AI
community. The event fosters collaboration toward the shared goal
of responsible AGI development. This convergence of talent and
ideas not only accelerates innovation, but also ensures that AI
technologies are built with a firm commitment to ethical principles
and societal benefit.
