BGI Labs a new Planetary Collaboration
Dr. Ben Goertzel
A new company founded by Dr. Ben Goertzel; BGI Labs is an open decentralised initiative focused on developing and governing Beneficial Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
What BGI Labs Will Do:
- Decentralize AGI Development: Build AGI through open and transparent frameworks rather than letting it remain restricted inside a small group of major corporations.
- Combine Science and Governance: Use rigorous science and transparent governance to guide how AGI is built and managed.
- Support Global Communities: Involve diverse worldwide communities to ensure future AGI systems reflect broad human values and social good.
An AGI project founded on core open source cognitive code and a flourishing global community can do what no closed commercial lab can: offer long-term transparency, verifiability, and a genuine basis for planetary collaboration.
