San Francisco, United States, March 16th, 2026, Chainwire The AGI Society has announced that the 19th Annual Artificial General Intelligence Conference, AGI-26, will take place in San Francisco from July 27–30, 2026. As the only major conference series dedicated exclusively to the development of human-level artificial intelligence and beyond, the event will host researchers, engineers, and thinkers in a hybrid format offering both in-person and virtual participation. Since its inception in 2008, the AGI Conference has served as a central gathering point for researchers pursuing the long-standing goal of general intelligence. The 2026 edition arrives at a moment of rapid acceleration in AI development, as theoretical research increasingly translates into systems capable of reasoning, adaptation, and broader generalization. “AGI is the most important scientific and engineering quest of our era. This conference exists to ensure that the quest is guided by rigor, imagination, and responsibility,” said Matt Ikle, Conference Chair. AGI-26 will bring together many of the foundational thinkers who helped shape the field alongside the R&D leaders pushing its boundaries today. Past speakers in the AGI conference series include Yoshua Bengio, Jürgen Schmidhuber, Peter Norvig, Richard Sutton, François Chollet, Christof Koch, Ben Goertzel, Michael Levin, and Gary Marcus, reflecting the conference’s role as a forum for rigorous debate, competing frameworks, and long-term visions of intelligence. The four-day program will feature peer-reviewed paper presentations, workshops, tutorials, and hardware demonstrations. Key themes include credible pathways from narrow AI to AGI, safety and alignment protocols, and insights from biological cognition that may inform scalable architectures for general intelligence. The AGI Society has officially opened its call for papers, with a submission deadline of April 13, 2026. Original research is welcomed across several formats, including 10-page regular papers and four-page technical communications. Outstanding contributions will be eligible for several honors, including the Kurzweil…
