SingularityNET is leading the charge in developing a global network of supercomputers aimed at creating Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), which is anticipated to surpass human intelligence.

The initiative includes the construction of a modular supercomputer designed to achieve AGI, with plans for it to be operational by late 2024 or early 2025.

The first supercomputer in this project is expected to be operational by the end of 2024, following a timeline that began with its initial launch in September 2023.

Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET, emphasizes that this supercomputer will enable a shift from traditional data-heavy learning to dynamic reasoning and world modeling.

The network will utilize advanced AI technologies, including deep neural networks and large language models, to facilitate a transition to sophisticated machine thinking.

The computational power of this network is expected to have applications across various fields, including scientific research, engineering, and national security.

Access to the supercomputer network will be managed through a tokenized system, allowing users to contribute data for AGI experiments.

To manage the distributed computing environment, the team is implementing OpenCog Hyperon, an open-source software framework tailored for AI systems.

The supercomputers will feature cutting-edge technology, including Nvidia L40S GPUs and AMD processors, representing some of the most powerful AI hardware available.

SingularityNET operates in a competitive landscape, with significant investments in AGI development from other major tech companies like OpenAI and Meta.

Prominent AI leaders predict that AGI could be achieved as early as 2028, with Goertzel targeting 2027 as a potential milestone.

AGI is envisioned as a system that not only exceeds human intelligence across various disciplines but also learns and improves from its own experiences.
