This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on
Artificial General Intelligence AGI 2014 held in Quebec City QC Canada in August 2014. The
22 papers and 8 posters were carefully reviewed and selected from 65 submissions. Researchers
have recognized the necessity of returning to the original goals of the field by treating
intelligence as a whole. Increasingly there is a call for a transition back to confronting the
more difficult issues of human-level intelligence and more broadly artificial general
intelligence. AGI research differs from the ordinary AI research by stressing on the
versatility and wholeness of intelligence and by carrying out the engineering practice
according to an outline of a system comparable to the human mind in a certain sense. The AGI
conference series has played and continues to play a significant role in this resurgence of
research on artificial intelligence in the deeper original sense of the term of artificial
intelligence. The conferences encourage interdisciplinary research based on different
understandings of intelligence and exploring different approaches.
