The Inaugural World Conference on Artificial Consciousness AC on August 24, 2023 in Haikou, China

As we witness the vigorous development of artificial intelligence technology, we are experiencing a tremendous technological revolution. The emergence of AGI is particularly noteworthy, as it represents a form of artificial intelligence capable of possessing broad cognitive abilities similar to humans. AGI has the potential to understand, learn, and respond to various tasks beyond the limitations of specific domains. However, as AI technology continues to advance, a novel topic has emerged in academia and the public consciousness: artificial consciousness.

The inaugural World Artificial Consciousness Conference will bring together experts and scholars from around the world to jointly explore cutting-edge issues in artificial intelligence and artificial consciousness. Through this conference, we aim to enhance society's understanding of artificial consciousness, strengthen research collaboration, promote technological advancements, and foster a rational perception of AI within society. The conference will provide a platform for global researchers and scholars to engage in in-depth exchanges and collaboration, tackling the challenges posed by artificial intelligence and artificial consciousness, propelling technological progress, and bringing about positive impacts on human society.
