    A Thought Experiment to Improve AI

    ByJohn Ball

What can we do with a thought experiment to improve our AI? Photo by Kazi Mizan on Unsplash Progress in AI and AGI has had slow enterprise adoption because today’s generative AI don’t work as predicted by big tech CEOs. We’re told fantasy stories about how all of science will soon be solved by machines that gather the statistics from existing scientific papers. But if the scientific papers included the answers to future science, what benefit do we get from AI, since the science is already written? AI today is obviously missing the key piece – how the world works in all its multisensory glory…

    Upcoming Book: Modern Cognitive AI

    ByJohn Ball

    How to build AI that’s like us and its benefit to society! Language, like our ability to navigate the world with our senses and muscles, comes from our brain. AGI needs better ‘cognitive AI.’ We choose our words carefully, because amazing precision is what our brain does.

You’ll be able to follow in LinkedIn, Speech Genie, Substack and Medium for the series. I invite you to debate and correct me where you disagree with the model. I want to shine the torch on much-needed science, so let’s do some science! My goal is to…
