Audio Narration of.the article, Turning Point in AI 🚀 Leaders Rally for a Natural AI Initiative by Denise Holt on Spatial Web AI Podcast. #ActiveInferenceAI #futureofai #karlfriston

A pivotal roundtable discussion held by the Boston Global Forum, the Active Inference Institute, and the Neuropsychiatry and Society Program on December 12, 2023, marked a significant turning point in our understanding and development of artificial intelligence.

This group of leaders came together to to discuss a letter signed by 25 neuroscientists, biologists, physicists, policy makers, AI researchers, entrepreneurs, and directors of research labs on a joint initiative proposing a radical rethinking of AI’s trajectory, advocating for a model of AI that is fundamentally different from the data-intensive, computationally expensive systems that dominate today’s landscape. They propose that rather than giant neural networks, we need AI systems modeled after natural organisms - displaying key attributes like autonomy, adaptability, and goal-directedness.

Their meeting signifies growing momentum behind a new approach to AI called Active Inference, developed by world renowned neuroscientist, Dr. Karl Friston, Chief Science Officer at VERSES AI, that leads to more transparent, ethical, and beneficial intelligent systems.

Active Inference AI is inspired by physics and the biology of life itself, and it is already being advanced by VERSES AI, currently in Beta for their Genius platform with partners like NASA, Volvo, and others.

Audio Narration of the article, VERSES AI Announces AGI Breakthrough | Invokes Open AI's 'Assist' Clause by Denise Holt, Spatial Web AI Podcast #AGI #ActiveInference #VERSESAI

VERSES has achieved an AGI breakthrough within their alternative path to AGI called Active Inference. And on December 20, 2023, they appealed to Open AI “in the spirit of cooperation and in accordance with [their} charter,” by taking out a full page ad in the New York TImes with an Open Letter to the Board of Driectors at Open AI.

🔍 Key Points: 🧠💡

• VERSES New Path to AGI: Focusing on 'natural' rather than 'artificial' intelligence.

• Active Inference Breakthrough: A significant advancement that challenges traditional AI models.

• A Gesture in the Spirit of Cooperation: Aligning with Open AI's mission for safe AGI that benefits humanity.

• Challenges of Deep Learning: Addressing the limitations and dangers of current AI approaches.

• VERSES vs DeepMind: A contrast between the approaches of Geoffrey Hinton and Karl Friston.

• The Free Energy Principle: Unlocking a new direction in AI, grounded in natural intelligence.

• AGI Roadmap: Detailed stages from Systemic to Shared Intelligence, leading to potential super-intelligence.

• Collaboration Call: A significant appeal for cooperation within the AI community.

🧠 Why It Matters:

This announcement is more than just a technological advancement; it's a call for a paradigm shift in how we approach AGI. VERSES AI is inviting us to reconsider our relationship with technology, emphasizing cooperation, safety, and alignment with human values.

Denise Holt reports from the 4th Annual International Workshop on Active Inference (IWAI), September 2023, where the highlight of the event was a 1.5 hour long exclusive presentation with the father of Active Inference & the Free Energy Principle, Dr. Karl J. Friston, Chief Scientist at VERSES AI.

In this groundbreaking video, Dr. Friston unveils his latest research on Active Inference, shedding light on its potential as a systematic blueprint for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Watch as Friston and his VERSES team pioneer a new kind of AI that mimics biological intelligence, making any data 'smart'.

Learn how intelligent agents leverage generative models and state spaces to perceive, adapt to, and reshape environments. Witness Friston’s simulations of autonomous systems dynamically pooling knowledge through emergent communication protocols to achieve flexible, human-like coordination.

Witness the structured learning breakthroughs that move beyond today’s pattern recognition to decode raw data streams into organized representations, goals, and plans - the foundations for artificial general intelligence.

Find out how VERSES’ Spatial Web Protocol enables seamless belief sharing across specialized agents to form efficient, mutually predictable worlds. Gain perspective on inductive planning, information-theoretic formalisms, model comparison, epistemic foraging, dynamics of learning, and more groundbreaking Active Inference innovations.

While Friston’s presentation was meant only as a glimpse, these insights keep VERSES AI at the leading edge of creating Autonomous Intelligent Systems (AIS) that can understand, communicate, and adapt as humans do.
