Introduction to The PressRoom
 

Welcome to the MIND|CONSTRUCT PressRoom. Here you will find a lot of information that might help you in preparation of 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 that states 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 parties.

 

It is possible to request a demonstration of our technology. We primarily conduct these demonstrations at our headquarters in Oosterhout, The Netherlands.

IMPORTANT: Because of the COVID-19 Crisis we are currently operating under strict procedures to minimize the risks of infection. When you visit our office, we will ask you to adhere to our COVID-19 Policy.

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.

Some people, Ray Kurzweil being the obvious example, think AGI will happen fairly soon. However, they still think it will take about a decade or more. Compounding to that notion is the fact that none of the big players in this field seem to be anywhere near a real solution.

 

Here we present links to external articles, videos and other media that illustrates the (scientific) view on the possibility of AGI becoming reality, in stark contrast to our actual achievements.

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