Researchers are launching a global network of supercomputers to accelerate the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI), with the first supercomputer expected to come online in September.

SingularityNET CEO Ben Goertzel emphasized that this supercomputer marks a significant advancement towards AGI by improving machine reasoning and learning capabilities.

The supercomputers, developed by SingularityNET, will establish a 'multi-level cognitive computing network' to facilitate the training of AGI architectures.

This computing infrastructure will enable a shift from traditional learning methods to advanced machine thinking, utilizing reasoning algorithms and knowledge distillation.

The network will leverage advanced AI technologies, including deep neural networks, large language models (LLMs), and multimodal systems that integrate human behaviors with multimedia outputs.

Equipped with cutting-edge components like Nvidia L40S GPUs and AMD processors, the supercomputer will be among the most powerful AI hardware setups available.

Access to the supercomputer will be regulated through a tokenized system, allowing users to contribute and utilize shared data for AGI development.

SingularityNET is part of the Artificial Super Intelligence Alliance, which advocates for open-source AI research and aims to enhance the computing power of its network.

To manage the distributed computing environment, Goertzel's team will implement OpenCog Hyperon, an open-source software framework designed for AI systems.

Mark Zuckerberg's $10 billion investment in AGI infrastructure highlights significant interest from major tech figures in advancing AI capabilities.

Prominent AI leaders, including DeepMind's co-founder Shane Legg, believe AGI could be achieved by 2028, while Goertzel aims for a 2027 milestone.

SingularityNET's ultimate goal is to develop a system that supports the creation of artificial superintelligence, which would surpass human cognitive abilities.
