| 11/3/23 |  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.

| 8/14/23 |  Episode 6 | Special Guest – Daniel Friedman – Active Inference Institute | What is Active Inference? | NEW EPISODE: Denise Holt welcomes Daniel Friedman, Co-Founder and President of the Active Inference Institute, an open science organization supporting research and projects related to active inference. Active inference is an approach to modeling systems that involves perception, cognition, and action in an integrated way. Dr. Karl Friston’s Free Energy Principle provides the theoretical foundation for Active Inference. In the interview, Daniel explains that Active Inference aims to model systems ranging from simple to complex in a unified framework. Key features include interpretability of models and explicit representation of action. Researchers in fields like robotics are exploring active inference for its potential benefits. Daniel discusses upcoming educational offerings and events from the Institute, including the Applied Active Inference Symposium on "Enacting Ecosystems of Shared Intelligence." He emphasizes the importance of participatory, open ecosystems for advancing science and technology. The interviewer points to the VERSES AI whitepaper titled, “Designing Ecosystems of Intelligence from First Principles,” tying active inference to Spatial Web technologies like the Hyper Space Modeling Language. She sees potential for AI assistants as Intelligent Agents utilizing Active Inference and Spatial Web infrastructure to enable collective intelligence and seamless human-AI collaboration.

| 8/8/23 |  Episode 5 | Guest: David Shapiro - AI Researcher | Talking AI Benefits, Dangers, & AI Governance | NEW EPISODE: Host, Denise Holt, welcomes David Shapiro, an AI researcher and thought leader, as the special guest on this episode of the Spatial Web AI podcast. In this broad range conversation, Dave discusses the polarizing views on AI, acknowledging both its potential benefits and dangers. He emphasizes the need for careful deployment and solving problems that arise with new technologies. David also touches upon existential questions raised by creating super intelligent AI. He believes that while there may be a painful transition period, society has historically adapted to technological changes. The biggest challenges he sees in transitioning to AGI and ASI are organization and communication due to rapid advancements in AI. Additionally, he discusses how technology will change job markets and introduces the concept of post-labor economics where people will need to find new meaning outside of work. The conversation also explores how spatial web technologies could enhance accountability and prevention in various domains such as construction site safety or highway incidents involving unsecured cargo on trucks.
