AGI is a hard problem, so there are not a lot of people working on it. The majority of people working on it are in universities or research institutes.
Some random ideas to encourage people to work on AGI:
- publish a book on AGI
- create an integrated school for teaching AI related courses (neuroscience, computer science, cognitive science, mathematics)
- create a podcast aimed at teaching about AGI
- create a crypto token for solving AGI
- create a VC fund for funding AGI projects
- create a research facility that encourages outsiders with experts to work together
- create a program to teach underprivileged children to study AGI
- create a grand challenge with cash for people to solve AGI
- create a video game that focuses people to work on AGI problems
- create art that makes people think about AGI
- direct people to focus on multi-model building or other specific areas of AGI
- write a blog about AGI (this blog!)
- a layman review site for arvix and research papers
- create a wikipedia for AI/AGI
- a summary mailing list of AGI related papers on arvix for lay people
