As Generative AI expands from the world of chatbots to AI Agents that automate wider ranges of tasks in addition to communication, artificial intelligence will have to take on more and more aspects of AGI (artificial general intelligence). In doing so, AI models have to incorporate more diverse knowledge and skills of human beings. This will require a new, more cost- (and energy-) efficient technical approach. After a brief presentation of such a new approach and its initial applications in robotics and gaming, Jad Tarifi, Co-Founder and CEO of Integral.AI engages in a fireside chat with US-ATMC Director Dasher and the audience about this major new stage in the evolution of AI and its prospects for value creation.Our seminars will be offered in a hybrid format.

Guest speaker: Dr. Jad Tarifi, CEO & Co-founder, Integral AI
Jad Tarifi, Ph.D., is an AGI expert and the CEO & Co-founder of Integral AI, where he is driving industry-changing breakthroughs in scalable, energy-efficient AGI to bring humanity closer towards superintelligence.​​With over 20 years of experience, he has dedicated much of his career to pioneering approaches to AGI. Before founding Integral AI, Jad spent nearly a decade at Google AI, where he founded and led its first Generative AI team and spearheaded research on neocortex-inspired AI. He holds a Ph.D. in AI, with a dissertation focusing on brain-inspired and mathematically rigorous theories of intelligence, and an M.S. in Quantum Computing.​​Jad is also the author of the Freedom Series, a four-volume guidebook that explores the future of AI, human potential, and societal transformation in the age of AGI. The series presents a hopeful yet pragmatic vision for aligning AI with humanity’s highest ideals, detailing the technical path to building AGI, while offering readers a new worldview and practical tools for flourishing in a world shaped by superintelligence.​​Born in Lebanon, educated and working in the US, and now based in Japan, Jad brings a deeply human and universal perspective to his mission of advancing AGI for the benefit of all.
This program is part of our series on “Entrepreneurship in Asian High-Tech Industries“ beginning April 1, 2025 and continues weekly until June 3, 2025.
