This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on
Artificial General Intelligence AGI 2015 held in Berlin Germany in July 2015. The 41 papers
were carefully reviewed and selected from 72 submissions. 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. 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.
