AGI progress has stalled. We can change that. This is a private invite-only event. // Details ARC Prize is making a stop in NYC to gather researchers, founders, operators, and investors for an AGI-centric event. Hosted by a16z. Come and explore frontier AGI research that challenges current industry benchmarks and beliefs. Forever the great dream of the field of AI, AGI that can invent and discover alongside us would bring unimaginable benefits to humanity, yet we're no closer to true general intelligence than we were in 2017. No amount of scale will allow transformers alone to efficiently learn new skills the way humans do. Memorization is insufficient to reach general intelligence. Together, we'll dive deep into technical approaches designed to defeat ARC-AGI - the only AI benchmark that measures our progress toward AGI - and the past, present, and future of ARC Prize - a $1M competition toward open AGI progress. // Hosts Join the ARC Prize co-founders live. Mike Knoop co-founded Zapier, where he led all product and engineering before shifting focus to AI R&D in the summer of 2022. At Zapier, he launched numerous popular products, as well as leading Zapier's OpenAI partnership. Mike is a builder with a background in engineering, math, research, and programming and is passionate about frontier and open source AGI research. François Chollet is the creator of Keras, a popular Python deep learning library, and ARC-AGI. He is an engineer at Google and researcher in artificial intelligence. François has been awarded the Global Swiss AI award for breakthroughs in AI and is the author of "Deep Learning with Python" and the notable paper "On the Measure of Intelligence".
