CEO Dr. @bengoertzel joined Tony Hoang on the Artificial Intelligence Podcast to discuss how advances in AGI research can help address complex challenges across industries.
He explains our approach to open, decentralized AGI, highlights Omega's role in identifying a Linux kernel vulnerability, and explores how safety, moral agency, and independent scientific oversight should inform the development of more capable systems.

The risks of advanced AI are hard to quantify, but proposals to pause its development raise practical questions.
CEO Dr. @bengoertzel argues that pausing AI development would impose substantial economic costs and restrict personal freedom without stopping progress. In his view, the more pressing question is how to ensure increasingly capable AI systems benefit humanity.

Should we unplug AI?
At the Yale Political Union, CEO Dr. @bengoertzel joined a debate over whether to halt the development and deployment of human-level AGI and superintelligence, temporarily or permanently.
Watch his full speech: youtube.com/watch?v=iu7Yo9bq…
CEO Dr. Ben Goertzel examines the strengths and limitations of LLMs in mathematics, whether creative mathematical conjecture requires human-level AGI, and the importance of keeping mathematical discoveries openly available.
Join us for the biweekly Omega Builders session on Friday, October 9th, at 14:00 UTC.
This biweekly community call brings together Omega builders, SingularityNET researchers, and developers to discuss Omega's architecture, development, and applications, work through technical questions, and share projects and ideas from across the community.

What do we mean by artificial general intelligence (AGI), recursive self-improvement (RSI), and superintelligence?
CEO Dr. @bengoertzel traces their origins and examines how changing definitions shape expectations of AI progress, from the distinction between human-level performance and generalization beyond training to the different forms of self-improvement emerging in today’s systems.

Omega agents learn how you work, grow more capable through use, and adapt to your world over time.
We are developing Omega as an open-source framework for researchers and developers to build on it and contribute to decentralized AGI R&D.

Our CEO, Dr. @bengoertzel, joined @alexchaomander on the Humans of AI podcast to discuss the path to human-level AGI, the limitations of frontier LLMs, AI alignment, and decentralized ownership and control of advanced AI.
Dr. Goertzel explains the cognitive science behind Hyperon's architecture, our approach to continual learning and recursive self-improvement, and why decentralized AGI requires both open infrastructure and AI methods suited to distributed training and inference.

CEO Dr. @bengoertzel sat down with Jason Nelson @dragonwolftech to discuss the path from today’s AI systems to AGI and superintelligence, and the choices humanity faces as these technologies advance.
Drawing on our work with Omega, he explores recursive self-improvement and whether AGI could emerge through collaboration among self-improving agents.
The conversation also examines why access to powerful AI does not confer ownership or control, the role of decentralized networks, and whether artificial systems could have conscious experience.
Dear SingularityNET Community,
On September 19, an unauthorized party gained access to part of our cloud infrastructure and used it to mint tokens and withdraw assets through our bridge infrastructure. Treasury and exchange wallets were not affected, and FET held in your own wallet or on an exchange was not impacted. We revoked the compromised access and deactivated the affected bridges and conversion contracts, and our team and security partners responded as soon as the activity was detected.
Actions Taken:
- We revoked the identified compromised access
- Deactivated the bridges and conversion contracts
- Paused AGIX and NTX transfers on Ethereum
- Tracing and monitoring are ongoing, and we are working with exchanges and security partners
Current Status:
- FET: FET was withdrawn from the token converter. FET has been secured, and its minting controls were not affected. No action is required from token holders; your own wallets are not at risk from this incident.
- AGIX: Our team is working on a secure and compliant way for eligible holders to transfer their tokens, and we will share details as they are confirmed.
- NTX, WMTX, CGV: Unauthorized tokens were minted. We recognize the disruption this has caused these communities and their project teams, and we are in direct contact with each of them.
Next steps:
- Independent security review: We have been working closely with our security partners since the incident began. The bridges will stay deactivated until an independent security review confirms they are safe to restore, and we will share additional findings as they become available.
- AGIX holders: AGIX migration is paused. We are working on a legitimate, verified path forward for eligible holders, in a way that is legally sound, and we will share details as they are confirmed.
- Other affected tokens: We are working with each project team on next steps. Each team will communicate about its own token through its official channels.
- Exchanges and tracing: Monitoring continues, and we are sharing data with exchanges and partners who need it.
- Law enforcement: We are working with law enforcement in the relevant jurisdictions and will provide updates when available.
We are committed to working with every affected community and project team, and we will keep updating you as facts are confirmed. All updates will come only through our official channels. Do not trust information from any other source.
This was a coordinated, multi-stage attack with a high degree of automation. Our systems are audited regularly and we follow industry security standards, but attacks like this are accelerating and becoming more sophisticated. We encourage every team in this space to review their external cloud critical infrastructure now.
