Greetings Singularitarians,
May has been a jam packed month, including our second and third ecosystem project launches of the yr, HyperCycle and Cogito Protocol. SingularityNET also had the chance to attend major tech events, and share the advances the project and ecosystem are constructing, toward benevolent and decentralized AGI. Try the months highlights, and join us on our journey into the unbound future:

This month, Ben Goertzel, Janet Adams, Desi and Grace robots, and plenty of others from the SingularityNET project joined tech industry leaders and game-changers at certainly one of the premier tech events on the planet, Web Summit Rio. Web Summit has been called “where the long run goes to be born”. It was also a incredible opportunity to satisfy more of our Brazilian community.
This four-day summit saw Dr. Ben Goertzel participate in an insightful panel alongside Daniela Braga and Itxaso del Palacio, discussing the restrictions of generative AI. After acknowledging the merits of deep neural networks and the fascinating ML algorithms which can be absorbing a lot of the world’s attention today, he explained where they fall short, specifically, by way of true understanding, reasoning, and context-awareness.
Ben also took the stage for 2 events with our own Social Robots, Desi and Grace, to share a few of our current projects and plans that may expand much more possibilities for the SingularityNET ecosystem. Ben demonstrated a few of Desi’s advanced musical AI capabilities, composing and performing live to a packed audience. And, in a fascinating demonstration with Grace, he and AI researcher Andres Suarez conducted a live meditation session led by Grace the healthcare robot. The session served as an illustration of Grace’s distinctive abilities in assisting patients undergoing rehabilitation.
Obrigado Web Summit Rio, Obrigado Brasil! We hope to see you soon.
We were thrilled to participate within the 2023 edition of the Dublin Tech Summit! Ireland is Janet Adam’s home turf, and he or she was thrilled to bring a taste of our world-changing technologies to the Dublin tech community. Dr. Ben Goertzel delivered an insightful keynote discussing what comes next for big language models, exploring the potential of enormous language models to drive innovation and transform industries, in addition to the considerations and challenges of developing and deploying these powerful tools. He then shared his and our vision as a decentralized ecosystem for the long run of AI and AGI.
Later, during a fireplace chat on, Ben was joined by COO Janet Adams and Desdemona Robot, the lead vocalist of the Jam Galaxy Band, for a singular fireside chat discussing “The Transformation of Society by Advancing AI: Human and Robotic Perspectives”. The trio explored the potential of AI to drive innovation and improve people’s lives, in addition to the moral considerations and challenges of integrating AI into society.
Dr. Ben Goertzel joined Daniela Brage and Maya Pindeus, together with moderator Olive Goh to debate the challenges and potential solutions for developing unbiased, ethical AI. During this panel, titled “AI and Ethics: Are We on Track for Trustworthy Unbiased AI?” In his intervention, Ben addressed the connection between investing in AI and economics and highlighted the importance of democratic, decentralized governance of powerful AI models.
