Peter Voss is a trailblazer in Artificial Intelligence, credited with coining the term Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) in 2001 alongside fellow AI visionaries. With a deep-rooted passion for intelligence—both human and artificial—he has spent decades pioneering advancements to bring human-level AI to reality.
An engineer at heart, a scientist by curiosity, and an inventor by nature, Peter has founded multiple AI companies, each pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. His lifelong mission is to develop AGI that not only mimics human cognitive abilities but actively enhances human potential, driving innovation and flourishing across industries.
Peter began his career in electronics engineering but soon discovered a deep passion for software. His first major success came from developing a comprehensive ERP package, propelling the company from its inception to a 400-person IPO in just seven years.
Driven by the inherent fragility of software, Peter spent the last two decades exploring the nature of intelligence—how it develops in humans and the evolving capabilities of AI. Along the way, he successfully commercialized an earlier iteration of his work through SmartAction.
Peter Voss co-authored the white paper titled “Concepts Is All You Need: A More Direct Path to AGI” that details this groundbreaking approach to achieving human-level AI. Explore his insights further on his Substack.
Peter Voss is a globally recognized thought leader in Artificial Intelligence and Artificial General Intelligence. A highly sought-after speaker, he has delivered keynote addresses at major industry events, including the CIO Conference in Southern California, where he spoke to an audience of 400 CIOs.

Peter Voss’s decades of research, development, and commercialization efforts have culminated in Aigo (pronounced I-go), a proto-AGI natural language intelligence engine designed to think, learn, reason, and continuously adapt to users.
Aigo’s advanced Cognitive Architecture, inspired by the human brain, allows it to engage in meaningful conversations, understand context, and improve over time. As a proven real-world application, the Aigo engine has already replaced thousands of call center agents, demonstrating its practical value. Now, it is on the path to reaching human-level intelligence, bringing us closer to the next evolution of Artificial General Intelligence.
Aigo engine has already replaced thousands of call center agents in the field as a proof point and today, Aigo.ai stands on the cusp of a groundbreaking AGI breakthrough, demonstrating “Self-Learning AI” by leveraging Aigo’s INSA – Integrated Neuro-Symbolic Architecture.
