Beneficial AGI Summit & Unconference 2025

​We are pleased to invite you to the Beneficial General Intelligence (BGI) Summit & Unconference 2025, presented by SingularityNET. Building on the success of our inaugural event, which gathered over 1,100 participants (in-person and online) from 22 countries, the BGI-25 Summit will convene a worldwide community of industry leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, media, academics, and the global leading voices in AI and AGI.

The BGI-25 Summit programming will kick off in Istanbul, Türkiye, with an opening keynote by SingularityNET and Artificial Superintelligence Alliance CEO, Dr. Ben Goertzel. Over the course of three days, the most influential and established opinion leaders in the AI and technology space will come together to establish valuable connections and work together to address the critical challenges of developing beneficial AGI, while exploring how we can shape a future where advanced AI systems serve the collective interests of humanity and all sentient beings.

This year’s interactive agenda will include mainstage keynotes and panel discussions, technology workshops, one-on-one meetings, networking opportunities, and immersive experiences—both in-person and online. The focus will be on discussing issues, making conceptual progress, forming collaborations, and engaging in practical actions to catalyze the emergence of beneficial AGI based on the ideas and connections set in motion by all involved.

Key Summit themes will explore the latest advancements in AGI theory and frameworks, ethical development pathways, aligning AGI with long-term human values, cultural and interdisciplinary perspectives on AGI development, and governance frameworks to ensure these highly capable systems benefit humanity and all sentient beings, including:

- Ethical and Practical Implications of AGI Architectures;
- AGI Ownership and Ethical Considerations;
- Participatory Governance Frameworks for AGI;
- Recursive AGI Self-Improvement;
- Open Source and Decentralized AGI Development;
- Impact of Global Structures on AGI Development.

Following the flagship BGI-25 Summit (May 26-27), the Unconference will take place on May 28. In this participant-driven event, you can bring forward your ideas and steer your discussions in parallel working sessions around a common theme.

*Please note that spaces are limited, and priority will be given to those active in relevant industries, academia, and media. We also encourage local students and professionals in AI and AGI to attend.
