Welcome to The PressRoom
 

Welcome to the MIND|CONSTRUCT Pressroom. Here you will find information that might help you in preparation for an interview or writing an article on MIND|CONSTRUCT and our ASTRID technology.

Besides information about our company, founder and technology, we also present links to external articles and videos that might help you to get an insight into the world of AGI Research and Development. Specifically, you will find information, stating that the (working) technology that we have is not possible for years or even decades to come. Nothing is further from the truth though, as we have demonstrated our technology numerous times now to prospective investors, current stakeholders and external interested parties.

 

As we are in the process of moving the company to the United States, it is currently not possible to request live demonstrations of our technology. We do, however, have video registrations of running demos, that we can make available if needed.

What others say About AGI

 

Although MIND|CONSTRUCT has (demonstrable) working technology, Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has been deemed several decades or even hundreds of years away, if not completely impossible to achieve at all.

Currently, the hype around Large Language Models and particularly ChatGPT, will make you believe that AGI is just around the corner. Unfortunately, these Large Language Models don't show any specific advancements that are needed to achieve real AGI. Compounding to that notion is the fact that none of the big players in this field seem to be anywhere near a real AGI-solution.

 

Here we present links to external articles, videos and other media that illustrate the (scientific) view on the possibility of AGI becoming reality.

In addition, you will find information on the impact that this technology is going to have, and therefore the importance and relevance of developing Artificial General Intelligence.
