"The AGI conferences are the only major conference series devoted wholly and specifically to the creation of AI systems possessing general intelligence at the human level and ultimately beyond." This is a small conference (I expect around 200 people, give or take), and this year it comes in two parts, AGI-12 and AGI-Impacts:

I've read some recent studies on Darwinist evolution of the computer code, and what is required to make such evolution computationally feasible. Basically, there are two main problems: almost all mutations of a typical piece of code are lethal, and the rewards landscape is too sparse (only goals we care about are rewarded), so the evolutionary process cannot find a "ladder" to climb to the goals. A couple of recent papers present case studies of systems where these problems were sufficiently rectified to enable nontrivial evolution.Read more... )

Cardinal Schönborn clarifies the official position of the Roman Catholic Church on evolution:

In reality, this question is open.
