Spatial Web AI Podcast

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.

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.

Join Spatial Web AI host Denise Holt and Dr. John Henry Clippinger, co-founder of Bioform Labs and research scientist at MIT's Lab City Sciences group, and key figure behind the pivotal letter, "A Natural AI Based on The Science of Computational Physics, Biology and Neuroscience," shares his insights on the future of artificial intelligence. #ActiveInferenceAI #KarlFriston #VERSESAI

Dr. Clippinger discusses the importance of Active Inference, a pioneering approach developed by Dr. Karl Friston, Chief Scientist at VERSES AI, which draws upon computational neuroscience, biology, and physics to create AI systems that exhibit key attributes of living systems. He underscores the crucial need for principled governance in AI to protect privacy and self-sovereignty, advocating for active inference principles and open-source initiatives through the Active Inference Foundation to ensure global AI safety.

Exploring societal impacts, Clippinger champions natural intelligence approaches over traditional Deep Learning models, emphasizing the importance of ethical considerations in human-machine interactions. With a focus on educational initiatives, he envisions a future where these principles drive positive change across fields, including addressing pressing global challenges like climate change, fostering safe AI as a public good and shaping a collaborative, inclusive future.

Why the Spatial Web Demands a New Protocol Part 2 - HSTP #futureofai #artificialintelligence by Denise Holt

The impact of HSTP on the future of ai: Static vs. States of Being

Web pages are static by nature. They were created for users to interact with the individual websites and the information contained within them. Although you may be able to create, interact with, or change elements, content, information, and essentially ‘do things’ within a page, it all remains fixed within that website domain. At best, data can be made ‘shareable’ across platforms through open APIs, but the data remains fixed at the domain endpoints.Web 3.0 requires something very different.

The networked convergence of emerging technologies like augmented reality, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence, coupled with distributed ledger technology and virtual spaces (metaverse or digital twin), while throwing the internet of things (IOT) with trillions of data collecting sensors into the mix, generates many additional data points and conditions that need to be accounted for in a true AR (augmented reality) existence. Undertaking this task of connecting every person, place, or thing, both real and virtual, while also considering states of being, conditions, and permissions (access, privacy, security, ownership), with continual updates in real time, well, this takes a completely new way of thinking, in order to connect and process such an enormous amount of information occurring within and between all objects, circumstances, and people.

The Smart Technologies of Web 3.0, like Smart Spaces, Smart Assets, Smart Contracts, Smart IDs, Smart Accounts, and Smart Payments, are only part of the picture of the augmented world we all envision for the future we are embarking upon. Without interoperability in real-time, these are all siloed technologies with limited range and scope of use. An inclusive interface is necessary to join these Smart Technologies, along with humans, machines, content, data, assets, locations, buildings, factories, workflows, imagination, and the context of real-time interaction across every one of them, embracing and including previous Web 2.0 technologies and cloud databases.

THIS is the Web 3.0 of the future. THIS will become the Internet of Everything.

Enter HSTP (Hyperspace Transaction Protocol)

Beyond 'location' to include 'states of being.'

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.
