FAQ

• ICLR AGI is a non-archival workshop. If you have concurrent submissions to other venues, please feel free to submit to our workshop as well.
• Suppose your submission will present at the ICLR main conference, we suggest the author do not submit to the workshop, as it leads to unnecessary redundancy at the venue. If your submission has been rejected by the ICLR main conference, we welcome you to submit to our workshop.
• You may think of the full-length research paper as a standard conference submissions. Meanwhile, we highly welcome the 7-page short submissions as well; for example, if you have worked on exciting ideas but the paper is not fully finished (e.g., missing some baselines or experiments), or the idea itself does not take a full 9 pages to describe (e.g., a new training strategy, loss function, or initialization that works surprisingly well).

The workshop will be held fully in a hybrid mode (in person or virtual presentation) at the Vienna, Austria, as part of the ICLR 2024 conference. We also plan to offer livestream for the event, and more details will come soon.

This workshop aims to become a melting pot for ideas, discussions, and debates regarding our proximity to AGI. We invite submissions on a range of topics including, but not limited to:

• Frontiers of AGI research: examples include AI agents, embodied AI, retrieval-based and tool- augmented LLMs, knowledge-enhanced AI, and multi-agent AI.

• Classic AGI Attempts as Inspiration: Delving into historical methods such as expert systems, symbolic AI, Type I and Type II reasoning for insights that can guide LLM research further.

• Interdisciplinary Insights for AGI: Drawing parallels from fields like psychology, sociology, and neuroscience to inspire and inform the development of LLMs towards AGI.

• Fundamental Limitations of LLMs: Analyzing the intrinsic capabilities or lack thereof in LLMs that might impede their progression to AGI. This includes discussions on reasoning, planning, and more.

• Practical Limitations of LLMs and Foundation models: Addressing external challenges like system constraints, computational costs, data acquisition barriers, and privacy concerns.

• Safety, Ethics, and Regulation in AGI Development: Exploring the complexity of moral, safety, and regulatory concerns that will shape AGI’s evolution.

• AGI’s Economic and Societal Impacts: Probing the potential changes AGI might initiate into our societies, economies, and daily lives.

We welcome both short research papers of up to 7 pages (excluding references and supplementary materials), and full-length research papers of up to 9 pages (excluding references and supplementary materials). All accepted papers will be presented as posters. We plan to select 10 papers for short oral presentations and 1-2 papers for the outstanding paper award.

All submissions must use the ICLR template. We do not require the authors to include the checklist in the template. Submissions should be in .pdf format, and the review process is double-blind—therefore the papers should be appropriately anonymised. Previously published work (or under-review) is acceptable.
