As we venture into the era of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), the ethical and regulatory challenges become ever more complex. With the potential for AGI to surpass human capabilities in numerous domains, questions surrounding the responsible development, deployment, and governance of AGI are no longer hypothetical—they are urgent and crucial.

This session at the AGI Conference 2026 aims to bring together thought leaders from various disciplines to address the core ethical dilemmas and regulatory needs that accompany AGI development. Key discussion points will include:

• Ethical Challenges in AGI: Examining issues such as value alignment, moral agency, decision-making, and the potential for unintended consequences in AGI systems.

• Creating Robust Governance Frameworks: Exploring legal, societal, and governmental approaches to ensuring safe and beneficial AGI deployment, including international collaboration.

• Privacy, Transparency, and Accountability: How can AGI systems operate with transparency and uphold user privacy rights while being aligned with ethical standards?

• Global Standards for AGI: The need for global cooperation to create standardized protocols and regulations that ensure AGI development remains under control and benefits humanity.

• AI Accountability and Liability: Determining who is responsible for decisions made by AGI, especially in critical areas like healthcare, autonomous vehicles, and military applications.

This session will provide an in-depth exploration of the frameworks needed to navigate the ethical challenges of AGI, ensuring that this powerful technology serves humanity and operates in ways that are aligned with societal values and laws.

Join us at the AGI Conference 2026 to participate in shaping the future of ethical and regulated AGI development, ensuring it serves humanity's best interests.
