The Spatial Web is not just tech, it’s a planetary nervous system awakening. The question is: will we weave it with fear, or with love? Podcast with @MahaultAlbarra1 and @DrSarahManski

🎥 The Future of AI: Active Inference Is Redefining Intelligence
What if AI didn’t just predict words, but actually understood reality - like living organisms do?

Bitter Lesson 2.0 😇
"As AI has become a huge industry, to an extent it has lost its way. What is needed to get us back on track to true intelligence? We need agents that learn continually. We need world models and planning. We need knowledge that is high-level and learnable...."
I was happy to give a more technical talk on how we might create an AI at RLC-2025 and AGI-2025 (video below).
The Oak Architecture: A Vision of Super-Intelligence from Experience
As AI has become a huge industry, to an extent it has lost its way. What is needed to get us back on track to true intelligence? We need agents that learn continually. We need world models and planning. We need knowledge that is high-level and learnable. We need to meta-learn how to generalize. The Oak architecture is one answer to all these needs. It is a model-based RL architecture with three special features: 1) all of its components learn continually, 2) each learned weight has a dedicated step-size parameter that is meta-learned using online cross-validation, and 3) abstractions in state and time are continually created in a five-step progression: Feature Construction, posing a SubTask based on the feature, learning an Option to solve the subtask, learning a Model of the option, and Planning using the option’s model (the FC-STOMP progression). The Oak architecture is rather meaty; in this talk we give an outline and point to the many works, prior and contemporaneous, that are contributing to its overall vision of how super-intelligence can arise from an agent’s experience.

Excited to advise our partner @helloVERSES in creating intelligence from real time sensor data, which I believe will be the next evolution in pursuit of a connected, smarter world [)-) verses.ai/press-2/verses-nam… #ai #analog #mixedreality #smartcities #edgecomputing

The human brain operates on 20 watts. The current approach to AI doesn't just need a breakthrough, it requires an entirely different paradigm.
Generative AI’s environmental costs are soaring — and mostly secret

The paper provides a proof of principle for this approach to model discovery, first by performing image classification on the well-known MNIST dataset, and moving to more challenging problems involving sprite-based visual disentanglement paradigm and the Tower of Hanoi 5/5

IMO, the way that the agent works is really quite cool: the expected free energy pertaining to policies about how to grow or change the generative model reduces to a (constrained) mutual information, which then acts as a prior when we are inferring a new model 4/5
VERSES retweeted
The idea is to construct an active inference agent that also explores the space of possible models. Crucially, some of the actions of such an agent change the structure of the model, updating prior beliefs about models using expected free energy 3/5
VERSES retweeted
The paper presents an approach to structure learning from first principles, recasting the supervised learning problem (the problem of discovering the best discrete generative model for a given dataset) as a model selection problem in the active inference framework 2/5

A new kind of AI that’s modeled after the brain, led by Dan Mapes and VERSES AI. No reprogramming, if self evolves on its own. Releasing to the public in Q1 of next year. 🧠 #NYtechweek – at Manhattan, NY
