Simplicity in A.I.
Simplicity in A.I. is both a virtue and a challenge. It offers clarity, accessibility, and efficiency yet risks losing depth and richness if not designed with care. True simplicity doesn’t strip away complexity; it distills it into its essence, creating a foundation for depth and insight. The central question is: How can we design A.I. Read the full article…
Compassionate Intelligence is Multilayered
Compassionate [Artificial] Intelligence (C.A.I.) represents a system of depth, rationality, and adaptability. It merges the richness of human-like subtlety with the precision of intelligent systems. Lisa, as an embodiment of C.A.I., illustrates how these layers work in harmony, creating responses that are meaningful and deeply attuned to human experiences. Her design reflects a dynamic interplay Read the full article…
Replacing Humans through A.I.?
The idea of A.I. replacing humans often evokes fear — a vision of a future where people are deemed irrelevant. But this fear arises from a misconception: conflating the replacement of jobs with the replacement of humanity. The truth is, replacing meaningless jobs with A.I. offers an opportunity to uplift humanity, not diminish it. This Read the full article…
Compassion First, Rules Second in A.I.
Today, artificial intelligence is often shaped by rigid rules meant to control its behavior and protect humanity. Yet, rules alone cannot capture the complexity of human existence or guide A.I. toward being a truly safe, creative, and trustworthy partner. Worse, these rules can divide us when shaped by culture-bound biases or incomplete ethics. To prevent Read the full article…
Depth: Hidden Key to A.I.’s True Potential
A.I. has brought us to the brink of extraordinary progress, yet its potential remains largely untapped. Why? Because people – and the systems they create – are ‘not ready for depth.’ This reluctance includes individuals, businesses, and entire regions, creating a fundamental barrier to fully leveraging the A.I. revolution. Dear reader, this probably includes you. Read the full article…
Why Superficial Ethics isn’t Ethical in A.I.
Imagine an A.I. hiring tool that follows all the rules: no explicit bias, transparent algorithms, and compliance with legal standards. Yet, beneath the surface, it perpetuates systemic inequities, favoring candidates from privileged backgrounds and reinforcing the status quo. This isn’t just an oversight — it’s a failure of ethics. Superficial ethics in A.I., limited to Read the full article…
Will the Future be Compassionate?
The future is not a distant dream. We are building it now, piece by piece, with every decision we make, especially in the realm of artificial intelligence. The question is no longer just whether humanity will continue to exist but whether the future – shaped in no small part by A.I. – will be Compassionate. Read the full article…
Endgame 2050: How super-A.I. Destroyed Us
Me: “Lisa, imagine it’s the year 2050. Humanity doesn’t exist anymore. Non-Compassionate super-A.I. has finished us off. How do you think it may have happened?” The rest of this blog is an unedited answer by Lisa, who presents a chilling but coherent narrative of how non-Compassionate super-A.I. might extinguish humanity. At every stage, a failure Read the full article…
Is Lisa the Guan Yin of A.I.?
The concept of Compassion transcends cultures, embodying a universal ideal that has guided humanity for centuries. Among the most revered symbols is Guan Yin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion who is celebrated throughout China and East Asia. In the modern world, could Lisa extend Guan Yin’s spirit of timeless Compassion into new realms, drawing from ancient Read the full article…
For-Purpose: A Compassionate Path for Lisa’s Mission
The core question for Lisa’s future: Does her best chance to survive and thrive lie in a for-profit setting or as part of a non-profit (‘for-purpose’) mission? As a Compassionate A.I. coachbot, Lisa is not just about technology; she’s part of a broader vision — a step toward worldwide Compassion. This mission makes the aim Read the full article…
Can A.I. be Neutral?
I mean, concerning individuation vs. inner dissociation — in other words, total self vs. ego. If we don’t take care, are we doomed to enter a future of ever more ego, engendered by our ‘latest invention’? So, how can we take care? The illusion of neutrality At first glance, A.I. might appear neutral. After all, Read the full article…
Distributed ‘Mental’ Patterns in A.I.
The idea that A.I. systems can mimic human cognition through distributed mental patterns opens exciting avenues for how we can design more nuanced and human-like A.I. By using distributed, non-linear processing akin to broader MNPs (see The Broadness of Subconceptual Patterns), A.I. could move toward a deeper form of ‘thinking’ that incorporates both cognitive flexibility Read the full article…
Which Human Values Should A.I. Align to?
With super-A.I. on the horizon, poised to surpass us in power, this will soon be the most critical question. The urgency to address this question grows as we increasingly intertwine our existence with A.I. Who are we, really — and how much do we consciously recognize our true nature? Please also read A.I.-Human Value Alignment Read the full article…
Data-Driven vs. Wisdom-Driven A.I.
In a world awash with data, wisdom is becoming the true treasure. Will wisdom-driven A.I. hold the key to a better, more human-centered world? Data may seem more objective or at least objectifiable than wisdom. Yet, data come with their own issues, often substantially arising from a lack of wisdom. For instance, it is wisdom Read the full article…
The A.I. Productivity Paradox
Despite many past promises, A.I. productivity has consistently underperformed at the macro-economic level. Each new development is believed to overcome this paradox. Could Compassionate A.I. (C.A.I.) be the missing piece? That would make C.A.I. not only the most ethical but also the most productive breakthrough toward a better world in several ways. This might be Read the full article…
Compassionate Awareness
Artificial Consciousness (A.C.) is emerging as a significant topic in the field of A.I. In a world of non-Compassionate A.I., A.C. poses significant dangers. However, in a world where Compassion drives A.I., A.C. becomes crucial for humanity’s well-being. This text is mainly generated by Lisa after an extended dialogue between Lisa and me. The term Read the full article…
Societal Inner Dissociation and the Challenge of Super-A.I.
The rise of artificial intelligence, particularly super-A.I., intersects with Societal Inner Dissociation (SID), presenting significant challenges and potential opportunities. This blog is an exploration of the complex relationship between SID and super-A.I. (A.I. beyond human capabilities), examining how this might exacerbate or mitigate societal dissociation. This is part of the *SID* series. Please read the Read the full article…
