Proceedings of the 15th Annual Meeting of the BICA Society Great job to the editors, Alexei Samsonovich and Tingting Liu. The book includes reports on biologically inspired approaches and their applications, Bridges between artificial intelligence and cognitive, neuro-, and social… Continue Reading →
This paper introduces a novel approach to decision-making systems in autonomous agents, leveraging the Independent Core Observer Model (ICOM) cognitive architecture. By synthesizing principles from Global Workspace Theory [Baars], Integrated Information Theory [Balduzzi], the Computational Theory of Mind [Rescorla], Conceptual… Continue Reading →
This paper presents some components of the learning system within the Independent Core Observer Model (ICOM) cognitive architecture as applied to the observer side of the architecture. ICOM is uniquely designed to continuously enhance its problem-solving capabilities through a mechanism… Continue Reading →
(draft) This chapter explores the development of “ghosts in the machine,” or digital copies of personalities, by leveraging cognitive architectures, graph databases, generative AI, and all the records we have on any given individual we want to emulate or replicate… Continue Reading →
This is an early draft of a chapter from my upcoming book… In understanding the Uplift system’s success, we need to understand the cognitive architecture and the graph system core to its contextual learning and key to creating dynamically creating… Continue Reading →
(Seattle) Cognitive biases can affect decision-making processes, leading to inaccurate or incomplete judgments. The ability to detect and mitigate cognitive biases can be crucial in various fields, from healthcare to finance, where objective and data-driven decisions are necessary. Recent developments… Continue Reading →
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly developing technology that has the potential to revolutionize countless industries. However, recent decisions by the US Federal Copyright Office threaten to stifle progress and limit the power of AI. Specifically, the Copyright Office has… Continue Reading →
In my research at AGI Laboratory, I ran into an indexing problem for seed material. I know there is a project online where you can have create these mind files and add your memories and other details to them. The… Continue Reading →
(Sept 2021) The latest edition of the Immortalist Magazine is out, from the letter from the editor: ” Albert Einstein once said, “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.” In other words, to… Continue Reading →
(online) This last Friday was the first annual Superintelligence Summit where there was a series of speakers talking about the aspects of attaining superintelligence and the state of what can be done now. A big part of the motivation for… Continue Reading →
A collective system has multiple parts that work together. A working collective system is greater than the sum of its parts. In a collective intelligence system, each part is also intelligent. A collective intelligence system, therefore, amplifies the intelligence of… Continue Reading →
Artificial Intelligence empowers the world increasingly, and that power grows at an incredible rate. Unfortunately, like any other valuable and scarce resource, it is subject to profit-harvesting silos that seek to make it artificially even more scarce and only for… Continue Reading →
This is taken from the book that might be released publicly at the upcoming Superintelligence Conference for attendees. mASI use of DNN and Language Model API’s [draft] Previously we have walked through how the code over the simple case works,… Continue Reading →
This is a pre-release version of the Uplift white paper that will be on the Uplift.bio site to be a consumer-friendly explanation of what mASI systems can do and why they are cool. Introduction A collective system has multiple parts… Continue Reading →
an alternative thought experiment by Nikola Danaylov Part I: Story People always find it easier to be a result of the past rather than a cause of the future. Unknown Are we just billiard balls in a predetermined cosmic game of… Continue Reading →
It is harder and harder to make sense of life. Everything is changing, all the time, at a faster and faster pace. Our civilization is struggling to keep up with exponential technology and disruptive change. Our age-old institutions, politics, economics,… Continue Reading →
One of the bigger problems I have run into in doing research out of a small lab is the cost of publishing papers and get them peer-reviewed. Many of the most specialized scientific conferences like BICA Society (Biologically Inspired Cognitive… Continue Reading →
On May 8th, 2021, learn from some of the world’s best biohacking minds how to live better, starting at the cellular level LEARN PRACTICAL METHODS THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR DAILY LIFE FOR THE BETTER. This one-day event has something for… Continue Reading →
Uplift is a research project focused on human-machine collective superintelligence. The project borrows from the AGI Labs ICOM research to build an AI system that allows humans and the machine to work together to create Superintelligence. Humans on there own… Continue Reading →
Those that have grown up with open source in the past 20 years know that open source is popular. It’s popular because of a number of reasons including that it fosters innovation, speeds up delivery, and helps us all collectively… Continue Reading →
The latest H+ Academy video was posted featuring Anders Sandberg and Francesca Minerva. This H+ Roundtable features Anders Sandberg and Francesca Minerva in a discussion on Brain Enhancements and Rights. The event took place on March 14, 2021. The H+… Continue Reading →
It seems like every other month there is a new device on the market, promising to streamline communication and make daily tasks easier than ever before. But how many of these will truly change the way we live our lives?… Continue Reading →
Abstract. This paper articulates the fundamental theory of consciousness used in the Independent Core Observer Model (ICOM) research program and the consciousness measures as applied to ICOM systems and their uses in context including defining of the basic assumptions for the… Continue Reading →
Artificial Superintelligence or ASI is coming eventually. There are groups of organizations discussing the existential risk that ASI poses to humanity. Even if we only develop an AGI, AGI will still create ASI and we lose control at some point…. Continue Reading →
One of the things most protected around the Uplift project at the AGI Laboratory has been the code. Recently someone tried to blackmail me with a snippet of the most critical code in Uplift. However the ICOM research and Uplift… Continue Reading →
The future of education completely changed after last year with the Covid-19 pandemic. The sector was on a sure path of introducing new technologies, but the walk just became shorter. Here are some technologies that will make an impact. Virtual… Continue Reading →
This is a call for papers for the First Annual Collective Superintelligence Virtual Conference on Friday, June 4th, 2021. Papers should be at least 4 pages, with no limit on size, and cover topics on Collective Superintelligent systems. Such topics… Continue Reading →
Recently, I was in a debate about this question organized by the USTP, “Is artificial general intelligence likely to be benevolent and beneficial to human well-being without special safeguards or restrictions on its development?” That really went to my position… Continue Reading →
A recent paper released on the internet that references some transhumanist researchers: Abstract: Ethicists, policy-makers, and the general public have questioned whether artificial entities such as robots warrant rights or other forms of moral consideration. There is little synthesis of… Continue Reading →
