The AGI-26 Workshop SingularityNET launched today at San Francisco State University, streamed live on July 27, 2026, as a structured research convocation to push the boundaries of artificial general intelligence. SingularityNET, a decentralized platform for AI development, positioned the event to anchor itself as a serious research organization. The workshop was scheduled to begin at 3:25 PM UTC in a hybrid format. Keynote presenters include cognitive scientist Gary Marcus, a skeptic of deep-learning-centric AI, and Ben Goertzel, founder of SingularityNET and theorist of artificial general intelligence. The technical agenda covers machine consciousness, interpretable natural language processing, and active inference—core session themes where AGI research diverges from the large language model paradigm dominating commercial AI.
