The document proposes a new approach to artificial intelligence called Cognitive Mesh. It argues that modern AI approaches are outdated and discusses limitations such as lack of unsupervised learning, inability to mimic the brain, and lack of competition. Cognitive Mesh aims to address these issues using a blockchain-based, multi-agent system where artificially intelligent agents share an associative memory graph and compete economically. This is proposed to enable abstract concept creation, reflection, knowledge exchange, and an evolving self-organized system similar to human cognition and evolution.
Modern approach to #AI has grown from research of 1950s-60s and is outdated:
– No ad hoc concept creation and feature extraction without previous knowledge
– Neural networks represent just a cortex zone, not the whole brain
– Lack of multiplicity leads to noncompetitive development
– There is no reflection and cross-agent knowledge exchange
THESE PROBLEMS ARE ADDRESSED BY BLOCKCHAIN-BASED
MULTI-AGENT AI SHARING “ASSOCIATIVE MEMORY GRAPH”
Blockchain will give to multi-agent AI a way for cognitive evolution.

ABSTRACT: The paper addresses the purposes and design decisions produced while developing a peer-to-peer virtual world platform. The work is being done within the FP7 VirtualLife project. The purpose of the project is to create a safe, democratic and legally ruled collaboration environment. The novelty of the platform is mainly in the issues of security and trust and in the implementation of an in-world legal framework, which is real world compliant. The rule of law principle is extended to a virtual world. Such an extension advances the level of intelligence of an artifact. The approach accords with a trend in legal informatics “From norms in law to rules in artifact”. In the paper the authors reflect on user needs and learning support in a university virtual campus, a potential scenario. Virtual worlds’ opportunities in enhancing learning are discussed. A new paradigm of the content is characterized as interaction versus information.

BLOCKCHAIN-BASED SMART CONTRACTS : A SYSTEMATIC MAPPING STUDY csandit
An appealing feature of blockchain technology is smart contracts. A smart contract is
executable code that runs on top of the blockchain to facilitate, execute and enforce an
agreement between untrusted parties without the involvement of a trusted third party. In this
paper, we conduct a systematic mapping study to collect all research that is relevant to smart
contracts from a technical perspective. The aim of doing so is to identify current research topics
and open challenges for future studies in smart contract research. We extract 24 papers from
different scientific databases. The results show that about two thirds of the papers focus on
identifying and tackling smart contract issues. Four key issues are identified, namely, codifying,
security, privacy and performance issues. The rest of the papers focuses on smart contract
applications or other smart contract related topics. Research gaps that need to be addressed in
future studies are provided.

The thesis of this talk is that smart contracts are options, and as such, can be used to control risk (unwanted future uncertainty) in a wider range of areas than has been possible previously, in finance, and in other areas too such as medicine. Options as a financial market instrument have long been used to control the amount and timing of risk in specific ways and tailor exposure with granularity. Smart contracts are an even more flexible species of options because they are programmable contracts that can be used to confer the right to buy or sell any blockchain-based asset or liability at a future moment in time (blocktime or “fiat” (regular) time) per certain terms and consideration. Therefore, smart contracts allow a greater variety in the degree and type of risks that might be brought under management. The impact of having greater control over risk is that intangible social goods are produced such as surety, confidence, and reliability, which help to engender a more trustful society.

This talk provides a speculative contemplation of philosophical topics that might arise with brain-machine interface technology and explores the new ways that individuals and society might self-enact as a result. Brain-machine interfaces that could be pervasive, continuous, and widely-adopted suggest interesting new possibilities for our future selves. From a philosophical perspective, these possibilities concern the definition of what it is to be human, our current existence and interaction with reality, and how all of this could be dramatically different in a scenario of digitally-linked cloudmind collaborations. This talk looks at some of the foundational ontological questions of how the progression of the existence of the classic human might evolve. Perhaps the most pressing question that currently-minded potential adopters have is how to avoid getting irreparably pulled into a groupmind. To protect against this, there could be an expansion and letting go of the term and concepts of personal identity, and humans as a unit of organization, in favor of instead self-relying on a decentralized permissioning structure like blockchain technology for managing empowered and resilient crowdmind participations.

Integrated Human Decision Making Platform based on human anatomyManuel Manolache
The platform we're proposing will be the main actor of the upcoming paradigm shift from representative governance to self governance, the architecture, functionality and interface of the platform was modelled after the human anatomy. Human decision making efficiency is dependent upon the governance system of the deciding agents and the roles they play. Aligning the context in which a decision impacting human life/society is made into a natural organic context, as the one governing the cells of the human body and described by the anatomy of the body as a whole and biological algorithms that drive communication and decision making within the cell ecosystem, will increase efficiency and personal satisfaction, provided by the increase of individual expression supported by the self representation organic decision making platform in discussion. A system of this sort, capable of changing the context decisions are made into a more organic and natural one, can be achieved with the help of modern day technology.
Keywords— Integrated Decision Making Platform, Collaborative Decision Making, Participative Organic Governance, Anatomically Correct Decision Making Platform, Online Organic Self Governance

Social super-organisms appear everywhere in nature, from the communities of cells that comprise the body, to pack animals and insect colonies. These biological entities can be described as closely interacting networks of communicating biological objects. Life on earth has repeatedly discovered this paradigm (Interacting Objects) in its exploration of evolutionarily stable strategies. We suggest that these structures are optimized for information processing, as exemplified by the networks of interacting neurones in the brain. Distributed information processing across the network facilitates the emergence of radically new behaviour at the 'higher', system-level, allowing the rapid development of new, stable behaviours. These networks of Interacting Objects, if stable enough, can form the nodes of yet higher level networks, forming a layered stack. At the top of this stack, which can be extended back to sub-atomic particles, is human society. Unique in nature, humans can engineer their interaction networks on time scales faster than 'classical' evolution-by-genetic-mutation. Thus, we have the opportunity to design modes of communication that maximize information processing, and hence maximise human productivity.

Future of AI: Blockchain and Deep LearningMelanie Swan
The Future of AI: Blockchain and Deep Learning
First point: considering blockchain and deep learning together suggests the emergence of a new class of global network computing system. These systems are self-operating computation graphs that make probabilistic guesses about reality states of the world.
Second point: blockchain and deep learning are facilitating each other’s development. This includes using deep learning algorithms for setting fees and detecting fraudulent activity, and using blockchains for secure registry, tracking, and remuneration of deep learning nets as they go onto the open Internet (in autonomous driving applications for example). Blockchain peer-to-peer nodes might provide deep learning services as they already provide transaction hosting and confirmation, news hosting, and banking (payment, credit flow-through) services. Further, there are similar functional emergences within the systems, for example LSTM (long-short term memory in RNNs) are like payment channels.
Third point: AI smart network thesis. We are starting to run more complicated operations through our networks: information (past), money (present), and brains (future). There are two fundamental eras of network computing: simple networks for the transfer of information (all computing to date from mainframe to mobile) and now smart networks for the transfer of value and intelligence. Blockchain and deep learning are built directly into smart networks so that they may automatically confirm authenticity and transfer value (blockchain) and predictively identify individual items and patterns.

Does the Internet Make You DumberThe cognitive effects are measurab.docxjacksnathalie
Does the Internet Make You Dumber?The cognitive effects are measurable: We're turning into shallow thinkers, says Nicholas Carr.
By NICHOLAS CARR- the wall street journal
Updated June 5, 2010 12:01 a.m. ET
The Roman philosopher Seneca may have put it best 2,000 years ago: "To be everywhere is to be nowhere." Today, the Internet grants us easy access to unprecedented amounts of information. But a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that the Net, with its constant distractions and interruptions, is also turning us into scattered and superficial thinkers. (1)
The picture emerging from the research is deeply troubling, at least to anyone who values the depth, rather than just the velocity, of human thought. People who read text studded with links, the studies show, comprehend less than those who read traditional linear text. People who watch busy multimedia presentations remember less than those who take in information in a more sedate and focused manner. People who are continually distracted by emails, alerts and other messages understand less than those who are able to concentrate. And people who juggle many tasks are less creative and less productive than those who do one thing at a time. (2)
The common thread in these disabilities is the division of attention. The richness of our thoughts, our memories and even our personalities hinges on our ability to focus the mind and sustain concentration. Only when we pay deep attention to a new piece of information are we able to associate it "meaningfully and systematically with knowledge already well established in memory," writes the Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist Eric Kandel. Such associations are essential to mastering complex concepts. (3)
When we're constantly distracted and interrupted, as we tend to be online, our brains are unable to forge the strong and expansive neural connections that give depth and distinctiveness to our thinking. We become mere signal-processing units, quickly shepherding disjointed bits of information into and then out of short-term memory. (4)
In an article published in Science last year, Patricia Greenfield, a leading developmental psychologist, reviewed dozens of studies on how different media technologies influence our cognitive abilities. Some of the studies indicated that certain computer tasks, like playing video games, can enhance "visual literacy skills," increasing the speed at which people can shift their focus among icons and other images on screens. Other studies, however, found that such rapid shifts in focus, even if performed adeptly, result in less rigorous and "more automatic" thinking. (5)
In one experiment conducted at Cornell University, for example, half a class of students was allowed to use Internet-connected laptops during a lecture, while the other had to keep their computers shut. Those who browsed the Web performed much worse on a subsequent test of how well they retained the lecture's content. While it's hardly surprising th ...
A mindset shift, the emergence of new skills and overcoming barriers on the path to Universal design.
The blockchain space is still in its early stages, but it’s growing rapidly. Most efforts are put into the development and implementation of technical solutions and innovation is happening every day! It is still very developer-centric space, but as we’re seeing greater adoption it becomes clear that designers need to get involved from ground floor. Some of the largest companies like IBM, Microsoft and Google are already developing and implementing Blockchain solutions in their products, ones that are being used by millions.
It’s surely not a hype, it’s not a bubble, Blockchain is a serious thing. Just like the Internet was back in the days, space was booming with new technology, protocols and software solutions and today we are building decentralized applications to replace traditional centralized services.
My goal today is to share a common vision of UX design for Blockchain, why it needs a shift in design mindset and what are top skills to be developed by UX designers working in this field. What challenges and limitations are we confronting today and how can we solve them? How the acquired knowledge and methods of interaction design can be applied to Blockchain product development?
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck

➔ Not a Brain
A brain region can’t mimic the whole
➔ Lack of Multiplicity

● cells emit chemical and electric signals
● animals communicate via mimics and emotions
● humans — via language
WHAT ABOUT #AI?
10. DIVERGING
Agents adapt to the
information given by adjusting
internal parameters
(like weights etc) with some
“noise salt”
11. BLOCKCHAIN OF
ABSTRACTIONS AND
ASSOCIATIONS (MEMORY)
Agents share results of their
cognition as symbols
(abstractions) and their
associations into a blockchain
of a “shared knowledge” and
memory.
Entries are signed by a
“proof of cognitive work”
12. REFLECTION
Abstract symbols in blockchain
represent a sort of “written
language”
Agents can reflect upon their
own cognitive work by
interacting with their previous
records in blockchain

AND SELECTION
Agents “economically
compete” by their cognitive
efficiency employing internal
blockchain cryptocurrency
“paying” for the usage of
cognitive information from
each other in form of “smart

each agent gets the same
sense of a signal as others
– DNA translation will be the same for bacteria as for a human being
– written text is understood in the same way by all native speakers
