He discusses the California Institute for Machine Consciousness, contrasts today\u2019s \u201cidiot-savant\u201d AI with developmental intelligence, sketches futures from universal basic intelligence to post-human infospheres, and offers frank advice to new researchers on pursuing bold, technically grounded work.<\/p>\n<p>#AGI #AI #Consciousness #SingularityNET #AGISociety #JoschaBach #DecentralizedAGI<\/p>\n<p>SingularityNET was founded by Dr. Ben Goertzel with the mission of creating a decentralized, democratic, inclusive, and beneficial Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). An AGI is not dependent on any central entity, is open to anyone, and is not restricted to the narrow goals of a single corporation or even a single country.<\/p>\n<p>The SingularityNET team includes seasoned engineers, scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs, and marketers. Our core platform and AI teams are further complemented by specialized teams devoted to application areas such as finance, robotics, biomedical AI, media, arts, and entertainment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog\/2025\/11\/agi-unbound-with-joscha-bach-consciousness-and-the-future-of-intelligence\">Continue reading \u201cAGI Unbound with Joscha Bach: Consciousness and the future of Intelligence\u201d | &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AGI Unbound Series.
