No time to read? Let me read for you!
If you've noticed a playlist on my YouTube Channel called, the "Knowledge Bank", this is where you will find audio narrations of all of my articles as an option for those of us who are busy and like to multitask and learn new things while driving, working out, going for a run, etc...
I'm taking these first few weeks of January to catch up on releasing the audio of last few articles of 2023. Today's article was written just before Christmas...
Audio Narration of the article, VERSES AI Announces AGI Breakthrough | Invokes Open AI's 'Assist' Clause by Denise Holt for the Spatial Web AI Podcast
Listen NOW on:
On December 20, 2023, VERSES announced they have achieved a breakthrough in their technology within their alternative 'natural' path to AI called Active Inference, and on that day, they appealed to Open AI “in the spirit of cooperation and in accordance with [Open AI’s] 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.
