AGI groups and workshops in Russian

The topic of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) or Strong Artificial Intelligence (Strong AI) is becoming more and more popular among developers and investors.

For several years there have been groups of the Russian-speaking community of AGI developers:

These groups maintain discussions on a variety of subjects related to the development of AGI systems, the very possibility of their creation, as well as respective ethical, legal, social, and existential issues.

Since this year, there are weekly online community seminars held on Thursdays at 18:00 Moscow time. The duration of the seminar is two hours or a little more. Usually, it is either a report for one to one and a half hours and a subsequent discussion for half an hour or an hour or a round table with regulations at the discretion of the moderator. The technical means of conducting, regulations, and moderation are usually provided by the initiator of a particular seminar or the speaker and her/his colleagues.

The program of the future seminars is maintained on the Facebook group.
Videos from past seminars can be found on the Youtube channel of the Siberian School of Artificial Intelligence or its blog.
