SingularityNET's Ben Goertzel opens up about AGI, decentralization

Summary

Ben Goertzel, a computer scientist, predicts the launch of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) within one to three years. His project, SingularityNET, aims to create a decentralized marketplace for AI services and has formed partnerships with Mind Network and Filecoin Foundation. Goertzel invested $53 million in a modular supercomputer for decentralized AGI and founded the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance in 2024, the largest open-source initiative for decentralized AGI. He emphasizes that decentralization is crucial to prevent monopolization and misuse of AGI technology. Goertzel's early belief in decentralized AI dates back to the 1990s, contrasting with the current centralized internet landscape dominated by major tech companies. He argues that AGI must be built on decentralized principles to benefit humanity.
