Dr. Ben Goertzel is a pioneering scientist, entrepreneur, and one of the world’s foremost authorities on artificial general intelligence (AGI). He introduced the modern use of the term “AGI” in his landmark 2005 book and has since led many of the field’s most ambitious open-science initiatives. Ben is the founder and CEO of SingularityNET, the first large-scale decentralized AI network, and CEO of the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, a multi-project ecosystem building open, beneficial superintelligence. His current Hyperon project is the world’s largest AGI initiative outside Big Tech—and the largest not driven solely by deep neural networks, designed from the ground up for decentralized deployment.
Ben has authored 25+ books—including Artificial General Intelligence, The AGI Revolution, and The Consciousness Explosion—and over 200 scientific papers spanning AI, cognitive science, and complex systems. A globally recognized voice on AGI, decentralization, and transhumanism, he advocates for building benevolent superintelligence that benefits all beings.
