November 03, 2023 VERSES’ Revolutionary AI Whitepaper Validated by New Neuroscience Breakthrough
Revolutionary AI Whitepaper Validated by New Neuroscience
Breakthrough by Denise Holt
The Future of AI is Shared, Distributed, and Multi-Scale
This may seem too good to be true, but it’s not. In fact, it’s happening right now.
It's called Active Inference AI, based on the Free Energy Principle (FEP).
In December 2022, VERSES AI set forth a sweeping vision for
artificial intelligence based on a distributed, collective real-time knowledge graph, comprised of Intelligent Agents operating on the physics of intelligence itself. In their whitepaper, titled “Designing Ecosystems of Intelligence from First Principles,” they propose a profound departure from standard notions of AI as a monolithic system.
Authored by Chief Scientist Dr. Karl Friston and the VERSES
AI research team, the paper puts forth the concept of “shared intelligence”. This represents intelligence as emerging from interactions between diverse, distributed nodes as Intelligent Agents, in which each contributes localized knowledge and unique perspectives.

NEW EPISODE: Special Guest - Brian "Ponch"
Rivera - Founder, AGLX Consulting, Creator of The Flow System, and Co-Host of
the No Way Out Podcast
What is Active Inference AI? What is the Free Energy Principle
(FEP)? And what do they have to do with agility, corporate leadership, and The
Flow System? – Find out in this episode of the Spatial Web AI Podcast by Denise
Holt.

A
former navy pilot, Brian discusses his work in the agile community. He explains
that he started a consulting firm, AGLX, to improve Scrum and Agile practices.
He also introduces his concept of the Flow System, which focuses on team
interactions and is influenced by complexity theory and distributed leadership.
Brian talks about his TED Talk in Budapest on design for flow and mentions the
loss of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, who coined the idea of flow from psychological
flow. He describes how AGLX has expanded its focus beyond Agile and Scrum to
include topics such as safety, innovation, artificial intelligence, psychedelic
therapy, and fifth-generation warfare. Brian also discusses his podcast, No Way
Out, centered around John Boyd's work on the OODA Loop and attracting guests
from various disciplines. Denise asks Brian about the flow system's development
and its connection to complex adaptive systems thinking. They talk about how
interactions matter more than frameworks in creating agility within
organizations. Brian emphasizes understanding one's external environment to
develop effective strategies through an internal model or map. This aligns with
concepts like active inference principles discussed in recent readings related
to AI, autism research, psychedelics research, category theory, etc., which
have connections with Boyd's OODA Loop framework.

June 20, 2023 VERSES AI Compared with Open AI According to ChatGPT4 | KB 14 Spatial Web AI Podcast
VERSES AI Compared with Open AI According to ChatGPT4 #futureofai #artificialintelligence by Denise Holt
VERSES AI has developed a unique
methodology that combines Active Inference AI with the Spatial Web Protocol,
trained on real-time data within a common network of Intelligent Agents based
on real-world events as they occur and unfold over time.

OpenAI administers
a multi-modal methodology of generative Machine Learning AI derived from LLMs
trained on text/image pairs.

In a mere three question conversation with
ChatGPT4, the OpenAI bot provided a solid basis for understanding
the greatest issues facing Machine Learning LLMs, the advantages of Active
Inference AI over LLMs, and the
way in which the next evolution of the internet protocol, the
Spatial Web, when combined with Active Inference AI, can function as a nervous
system for a company, city, or even larger systems.

June 16, 2023 Episode 3 | Dr. Arsalan Abtahi – Executive Chair, Symphony | Spatial Web AI Podcast
Special Guest: Dr. Arsalan Abtahi – Executive Chair, Symphony
– Inclusive Sustainable Smart Cities and the Spatial Web #futureofai
#smartcities by Denise Holt

In this episode, we discuss Dr. Abtahi’s background
as a medical doctor and how it relates to his work on creating inclusive,
sustainable, smart cities through his organization Symphony. He talks about the
challenges of building such cities, including competition and silos that hinder
interoperability. Dr. Abtahi also describes the four pillars of inclusive,
sustainable smart cities: environmental sustainability, social inclusion and
community resilience, intelligent and participatory governance, and inclusive
economic development.
Dr. Abtahi explains the UN Sustainable Development Goals, which are
made up of 17 different indicators. He discusses how technology, such as AI and the
spatial web, can be used to achieve these goals by automating processes and
improving quality of life. Abtahi compares a city's lack of
functional architecture to a human's subconscious mind that automates survival.
He notes that technology can fill this gap by automating things like food
production and energy production so that people can focus on intellectual
pursuits instead of worrying about basic needs.
We discuss the lack of infrastructure that can maximize
interoperability between siloed systems and create a holistic understanding of
what's happening. He explains how the spatial web is filling this
gap by creating an extracellular matrix that connects everything together,
similar to human cells.
Dr. Abtahi emphasizes the importance of measuring data from sensors
in cities to create a comprehensive digital twin ecosystem for better
management through programmable equilibrium, reflecting how big data and AI
tools enable data driven decision making for policy making instead of relying
solely on people who are wiser or smarter. He also emphasizes the importance of
prioritizing Africa and Latin America in addressing infrastructure issues and
closing the digital divide through multidisciplinary collaborations. Finally,
he highlights the need for a collective mission towards more inclusive,
sustainable ecosystems and changing our perspective on identity as individuals
within a larger system, recognizing our commonalities and breaking down silos
between individuals rather than focusing on differences.
Special thanks to Dr. Arsalan Abtahi, for being on our show!

AI – The Maker vs. The Operator | LLMs vs. Active Inference AI #futureofai #artificialintelligence by Denise Holt
VERSES AI is a cognitive computing company that has
overcome the limitations of machine learning AI, by building a new kind of
artificial intelligence based on a real-time world model described as:

AI that grows in knowledge, perception and
awareness through the evolving real-time data produced by all things, at all
times, throughout our living, breathing, and ever-changing world.”

This is Active
Inference AI, an entirely new type of networked AI that is
designed for Real-Time Operations, including things like managing the daily
operations of a hospital, an airport, global supply chains, an entire smart
city, global drone and autonomous vehicle traffic, and other real-world
activities. This introduces a new era of artificial intelligence which enables
us to streamline, optimize and automate every mission-critical, real-life
function that we interact with every day.

The days of training AI on big data with probabilistic results will
give way to an interconnected “Internet of Everything” that deploys Active
Inference AI throughout the network; inherently secure and accurate because it
takes any point of real-time data and makes it smart through an empowered
ecosystem of interconnected AI Apps called Intelligent Agents. This networked
system operates in tandem with humans, growing its intelligence in sync with
humans and the world.
