Congratulations to Ben Goertzel on the success of SingularityNET

I would like to congratulate Ben Goertzel on raising $36 million in 60 seconds for his SingularityNET project (here and here).They recently ran a public ICO which saw all available tokens sell out in a minute. It may be publicized as an “overnight success” but knowing Ben, and following his work, I know that this success is the culmination of many years of hard work and persistence.

Ben has a vision, like myself, of creating AGI (general AI) and he has followed this vision for over 20 years. SingularityNET is a stepping stone towards making it a reality, by bringing together AI and blockchain to create a decentralized marketplace for AI.

Regardless of what you think of the project, it is a great example of one of the key ingredients to success: persistence. Ben has shown remarkable tenacity leading this project and has shown how one person’s vision can become a reality through hard work and grit.

I am wishing Ben and his team the best for the future and look forward to working with him in August 2018 at the Human Level Artificial Conference (HLAI) in Prague, which is being organized by GoodAI.
