The Shift Toward Natural AI: Dr. John Henry Clippinger on Active Inference & the Future of AI

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.

Tune in for all this and more...
