Opportunity to Publish AI Related Papers in Peer-Reviewed Journal (no cost)
One of the bigger problems I have run into in doing research out of a small lab is the cost of publishing papers and get them peer-reviewed. Many of the most specialized scientific conferences like BICA Society (Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures for AI) can not afford to subsidize costs. This means limits on how many…
Roman V. Yampolskiy
Why are you Transhuman(ist)? Human design has multiple obvious flaws; I am a transhumanist because I see it as our destiny to improve on the current design. Dr. Roman V. Yampolskiy is a Tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Engineering and Computer Science at the Speed School of Engineering, University of Louisville. He is the founding and current director of…
Your Survival Depends On All Of Us – Support Open Sourcing Collective Superintelligence
Artificial Superintelligence or ASI is coming eventually. There are groups of organizations discussing the existential risk that ASI poses to humanity. Even if we only develop an AGI, AGI will still create ASI and we lose control at some point. Supporting the Open Sourcing of Collective Superintelligent systems is our only hope for keeping up…
Call For Papers – Collective Superintelligence Summit
This is a call for papers for the First Annual Collective Superintelligence Virtual Conference on Friday, June 4th, 2021. Papers should be at least 4 pages, with no limit on size, and cover topics on Collective Superintelligent systems. Such topics can include: What forms can collective intelligence systems take? How do you build a collective…
The Case for the Offspring of the Humanity
Recently, I was in a debate about this question organized by the USTP, “Is artificial general intelligence likely to be benevolent and beneficial to human well-being without special safeguards or restrictions on its development?” That really went to my position on AGI and Existential Risk. This debate drives at the part of the work at…
Volunteer To Help With The Uplift E-Governance Study
The AGI Laboratory is looking for volunteers to help with our E-governance study. Here is the summary from the experimental framework for the research program: This paper outlines the experimental framework for an e-governance study by the AGI Laboratory. The goal of this research study is to identify indications of the relative performance of e-governance…
Overcoming Human Bias
Cognitive Bias is a systematic pattern of deviation from logic or rationality in judgment where individuals create their own “subjective reality” based on their perception. With over 188 different documented cognitive biases there are a great many ways it can manifest, with some of the better-known examples being prejudice, stereotyping, confirmation bias, and belief bias. …
A New Kind of Governance, ‘Transhuman’ Governance… (A Proposal)
When thinking about the IAmTranshuman project I always end up thinking about policy and things that could be improved even in small ways to help society be more transhuman. For example one of the problems with democracy is that it is impractical to have an absolute democracy on a large scale. Every decision doesn’t scale…
#IAmTranshuman Goes on to Robotics AGI Lab Research Platform (Press)
(Provo) The robotics system in question is called an Avatar because it is a platform for a cloud-based AGI test system to interact in the real world. The #iamtranshuman moniker is going on the Avatar Android prototype’s head. The Avatar is being built by the AGI Lab that is scheduled to come out in Q3…
