A Natural AI Based on The Science of Computational Physics, Biology, and Neuroscience: Policy and Societal Significance

A Natural AI Based on The Science of Computational Physics, Biology, and Neuroscience: Policy and Societal Significance

Boston, December 12, 2023 – In a landmark initiative, prominent scientists, strategists and policy makers are joining forces to redefine the public narrative surrounding artificial intelligence (AI), grounding it in the science of computational physics, biology, and neuroscience. The Active Inference Institute and the Boston Global Forum, through a joint letter signed by leading experts, announce a pivotal effort to reshape the discourse on AI.

 

Titled “A Natural AI Based on The Science of Computational Physics, Biology, and Neuroscience: Policy and Societal Significance,” the letter addresses the remarkable advancements in AI, especially Large Language Models (LLMs) and Transformer models. While acknowledging their achievements, the letter underscores concerns about the lack of scientific principles guiding their development and the absence of independent performance standards.

 

Signatories emphasize that current LLMs and Transformer models are “corpus bound,” relying on parameters that remain enigmatic and inaccessible to scrutiny. Despite their capabilities, a critical understanding of these systems and their implications is missing.

 

Challenging the popular narrative of AI as an existential threat or the emergence of “super intelligence,” the letter argues for a more nuanced view rooted in computational neuroscience, biology, and physics, highlighting the interconnected “intelligences” of all living things.

The signatories stress that a nuanced scientific understanding of AI is crucial for effective policies and regulations. They highlight the relevance of studying the human brain-mind to optimize the integration of human intelligence with artificial intelligence in a pro-social manner.

 

Addressing economic, policy, and social misunderstandings surrounding AI, the letter challenges the notion that only “Big Tech” companies can afford AI commercialization.

 

It anticipates a future where distributed and biologically grounded intelligences can operate on mobile devices with lower energy requirements, promising transparency, privacy, security, and equitable access.

In response to these challenges, the signatories propose interdisciplinary public workshops to convene legislators, regulators, technologists, investors, scientists, journalists, NGOs, faith communities, the public, and business leaders. The goal is to foster an alternative, science-based understanding of the biological foundations of AI and transform the way AI is approached, developed, and integrated into society.

This initiative is a collaborative effort between the Active Inference Institute, grounded in the science of computational physics and biology, the Neuropsychiatry and Society Program, focused on understanding the societal implications of the human brain-mind, and the Boston Global Forum, dedicated to forming global policies and an AI World Society model for the inclusive and beneficial application of AI.

 

Boston Global Forum is set to host the AIWS Roundtable on December 12, 2023, to announce and discuss the letter and initiative. Additionally, a significant conference is planned at Harvard University Loeb House on April 30, 2024, focusing on this pioneering initiative.

The C20 Communique: “We call for a new social contract to unite and protect an Artificial Intelligence World Society”

The three-day Final Summit of Civil20 (C20), an official Engagement Group of G20, came to a successful close in Jaipur. The summit resulted in the presentation of the C20 Communique, a comprehensive inclusive survey and policy recommendations developed. This significant document was handed over to the G20 Secretariat and representatives of G20.

Here is an excerpt from the C20 Communique:

“We recognize the rapid and widespread change brought about by digital transformation, offering unprecedented advancements for improving the human condition. However, we call for the recognition that education or digital technologies, when improperly or maliciously used, can fuel divisions within and between societies and countries, increase insecurity, undermine human rights, and exacerbate inequalities and fervently hope that the G20 leaders will take cognizance of this and take necessary collective action. Education on emerging technologies and collaboration between stakeholders and countries is necessary for beneficial use and mitigation of potential harm and collaboration between stakeholders and countries to deal with the ever-evolving digital environment and promote a secure and inclusive digital world. We call for a new social contract to unite and protect an Artificial Intelligence World Society.”

  2. Empowering Citizens and CSOs for global governance of AI, Internet and development of data economy:

MIT professor Alex Pentland: “Data is a new primary means of production, along with capital, labor, and land.  If we establish equitable data rights, and enable easy audit of data use, we can control AI and bend the digital economy to better serve society.”

BGF CEO Nguyen Anh Tuan: ”Citizens are empowered through the AIWS model, data economy and global enlightenment education, uniting their voices as power of users, market forces, and innovators.”

AIEA actively promotes collaboration with citizens and civic society organizations, while  also establishing the Tech Enlightenment Economy Alliance to support global governance of AI, Internet and create opportunities in AI and data economy, enabling every citizen to become an innovator. It emphasizes the practical application of AIWS concepts to foster peace, security, and the greater good in the realms of AI, world-wide web and digital technology. During the initial phase, AIEA focuses on partnering with 10 countries, namely the US, EU-UK, Japan, India, Brazil, Nigeria, Mexico, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Together, they strive to shape a future where the potential of AI is harnessed for the benefit of all and to promote a thriving digital ecosystem that empowers individuals and societies alike.

  1. AI-Powered Enlightenment Framework: AI pioneers and scholars like MIT professor Alex Pentland, AI pioneer Thomas Kehler, and Harvard professor David Silbersweig emphasize the importance of equitable data rights, transparency, and a new AI framework that integrates with human collective intelligence. AIEA supports to build AI-powered Enlightenment Framework as a new AI framework that integrates with and engages human collective intelligence. The AI-powered Enlightenment Framework is grounded in neuroscience and is based on the laws of living physics.

AI pioneer Thomas Kehler: “The tremendous power of generative AI is currently is dangerous because of a lack of data provenance and transparency. We must swiftly move forward to adopting a new AI framework that integrates with and engages humancollective intelligence. The new framework is grounded in neuroscience and is based on the laws of living physics. While not on the public radar, such technology is available and will build a safe framework for future development.”

Harvard professor David Silbersweig: “Like other transformative technologies, AI can be used for good or ill.  The human brain mind and society have pro-social and anti-social elements.  Given the powerful ability of AI to accelerate and scale human intentions and to potentially adopt goals of its own, it is imperative that we shape the development and deployment of AI, informed by ethical and the latest integrated understanding of the brain-mind and complex systems.”

Thomas Kehler’s figure

  1. Addressing Misinformation and Disinformation and Cybercrime: Misinformation and disinformation remain significant concerns in the digital age. Tackling these complex issues requires the united efforts of various social forces and governments. AIEA takes a proactive approach by organizing dialogues with religious leaders from Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism. Additionally, it seeks cooperation with governments from the US, EU-UK, Japan, India, Brazil, Nigeria, Mexico, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines to effectively combat these challenges. BGF and Amrita University will collaborate as residents of this event, providing valuable insights and expertise.

The AI-Powered Enlightenment Framework assumes a crucial role in devising technical solutions to address misinformation, disinformation, and cybercrime effectively. This framework aims to curtail the spread of false information and protect individuals and societies from harmful online activities. Through international collaboration and collective action, the AI-Powered Enlightenment Framework strives to create a safer and more reliable digital space for all.

  1. Resources: The Global Enlightenment Community, comprising distinguished scholars from prestigious universities such as Harvard, MIT, Stanford, and more, along with contributions from former presidents and prime ministers, play a vital role in supporting these action programs. The Global Enlightenment Mountain (GEM) connects research centers and labs of universities and companies to provide technological support for oversight and the AI-Powered Enlightenment Framework.

Through the collaborative efforts of the AI-Powered Enlightenment Alliance, BGF, GLIDES, and various global partners, the vision for an AI-powered enlightened society – AIWS – an Age of Global Enlightenment, becomes increasingly attainable, steering the world towards a more ethical, secure, and equitable future in the realm of AI governance.

Shinzo Abe Initiative: Unified Action to Prevent Perils from Totalitarian Regimes

Shinzo Abe Initiative: Unified Action to Prevent Perils from Totalitarian Regimes

Throughout history, humanity always paid a steep price to tyrants who wield unchecked power.

Totalitarian regimes, characterized by their lack of accountability and transparency, continue to pose a great peril to humanity.

Hitler is the most major example, inflicting the horrors of Nazi Germany on the world. Today, we witness Putin causing terrible suffering to the people of Ukraine.

The COVID-19 pandemic, originating in China where the totalitarian government has little regards for their citizens, has killed tens of millions of people around the world, serves also as a stark reminder of this danger.

One of the gravest concerns lies in China’s utilization of its market power to coerce foreign companies operating within its borders to compromise democratic values and the principles of civilized humanity, while China itself undermining and devaluing the essence of democracy. Recently, Vietnam and several Asian countries expressed concerns over China’s insistence that businesses operating in China accept maps issued by the Chinese government featuring the contentious 9-dash line in the South China Sea—a claim that has been invalidated by International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. This flagrant violation of the sovereignty of Vietnam, the Philippines, and other Southeast Asian nations by the totalitarian of China is deeply alarming.

Additionally, we observe an increasing incidences of data coercion and privacy infringement of foreign companies doing business in China, accompanied by rising restrictions on exposing the wrongdoings of the Chinese government. The Chinese regime consolidates economic power and the resources of a major nation to serve an extreme nationalist ideology, captivating the Chinese populace through indoctrinating policies and information control which deviate from the values outlined in The Social Contract for the AI Age. These policies further the ambition of the Chinese Communist leaders, whose goal is to undermine the rules-based order and dominate the global order.

The Global Alliance for Digital Governance and Shinzo Abe Initiative for Peace and Security urgently warns of these visible threats and implores all civilized and progressive people to take immediate action to confront these perils:

  1. Establishing a unified community with democratic and civilized standards, forming a market block among democratic nations, with the United States, Japan, the European Union, and India as pillars. This community should include all countries and individuals who respect and uphold the values of democracy and progress.
  2. Exposing, boycotting, and refusing to engage with companies driven solely by profit and willing to compromise the principles of civilized and progressive humanity, when they acquiesce the demands of the Chinese government to undermine and devalue democracy. The Global Alliance for Digital Governance and Shinzo Abe Initiative for Peace and Security will compile and publish a list of such companies.

It is imperative that the democratic world acts swiftly to counter the threats and perils posed by the Chinese Communist Party before it is too late.
