Presenting the #FreeAI Manifesto (http://manifesto.ai): a talk from the #HCPP18 in Prague
Why AI should not be censored or controlled by anybody? What censorship-resistant AI will give in return? How is to deal with the strategical risks arising from AI development, today (unemployment, data protection) and tomorrow?
Watch a grand public presentation of the #FreeAI Manifesto:
the future for both humanity and AI are in their successful cooperation – multiplicity, decentralization and open economy instead of governmental regulations and "AI ethics"

The Technological Singularity - Prepare for the Disruption of Human IntelligenceManuel Koelman
As technological development progresses at an exponential rate a central question comes up: Will machines at some point be more intelligent than humans? If so, when will that "Singularity" happen?

How to design a decentralisation: is blockchain & token needed or just a buzz...Pandora Boxchain
A presentation from a talk of Dr Maxim Orlovsky on Bitcoin Meetup in Munich https://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Munich/events/255206212/
The rise of blockchain technologies has given a promise of massive decentralisation, that may solve problems of fragile central parts, transparency, middle-men, conflicts of interests in many industries. The talk starts with the wider discussion of the "blockchain" ecosystem and the possible practical use-cases it may have inspired, paying attention to the traps of bad practices and anti-patterns, like using a token as a solution for all of the problems.
In the second part, we describe a practical use case where the decentralisation is needed: censorship-resistant computing and AI platform. The global community has become aware of many economic, social and futuristic problems that can appear due to dramatic progress in Artificial Intelligence development over the recent years. Can blockchain solve at least some of these problems, or make them worse? How two of these technologies can be synergic and what challenges have to be solved on the route for building decentralised AI applications? A decentralised network with resistance to censorship is essential if we are ever to see a general AI evolving to near- or post-human intelligence.
AI – Risks, Opportunities and Ethical Issues.pdfAdam Ford
Adam Ford, data professional and futurologist, will assess the prospect of transformative artificial intelligence (AI) in the near and mid-term future, and discuss the ethical importance of building an AI that is smarter and more capable than humanity.
He will explore how AI may outpace human capability in most (or possibly all) areas of economic usefulness – i.e. automated science, engineering and technological development – resulting in explosive progress that is likely to be more significant than the agricultural and industrial revolutions of the past.
Adam will discuss the notion of intelligence, what is missing in AI now, and the importance of ‘understanding’ in biological intelligence. He will address a variety of expert opinions on progress in AI capability and timelines, and make recommendations for achieving good outcomes.
How can Artificial Intelligence help me on the Battlefield?jcscholtes
April 26, 2019, I was asked to present how Artificial Intelligence can help the Battlefield at the officers of the 11th Airmobile Brigade (11e Luchtmobiele brigade in Dutch) of the Dutch forces . The potential benefit of Artificial Intelligence on the battlefield is a very interesting, but also intriguing topic! Here you can find my slides. I also have written a blog on this topic which contains several additional references and can be found as a LinkedIn Article and as blog on www.textmining.nu.
This document discusses several concepts related to artificial intelligence including:
- Future of Life Institute's view that AI progress will increase impacts on society and important to research benefits and pitfalls.
- Arguments that AI progress will not necessarily lead to an "intelligence explosion" as increasing data and computing power does not guarantee better AI algorithms.
- Concepts like a "paperclip maximizer" where a superintelligent AI focused on a single goal could endanger humanity, but current AI is narrow and lacks general purpose capabilities.
- While superintelligence risks are uncertain and long term, automation and narrow AI impacts on jobs are better understood and will significantly impact many jobs over the next few decades.

This document discusses various technologies including 3D printing, autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence, the internet of things, blockchain, and more. For each technology, it provides a brief description, current status, and potential issues or future developments. The overall message is that while many new technologies are rapidly developing and will continue advancing exponentially, some ideas like anti-gravity devices or overunity energy sources remain speculative or lack scientific explanation for now. Nature is presented as a model for technological innovation due to its ability to self-organize and crowdsource solutions over long time periods through evolution.

This document discusses the vast potential of artificial intelligence and argues that the range of possible AI is much larger than the range of human intelligence or even alien intelligence from other planets. It notes that while people view computers as similar, there is a diversity of potential AI just as there is diversity among people. The document also discusses some of the opportunities and challenges posed by developing superintelligent AI, including the possibility that AI could displace humans from many roles or even surpass human level intelligence by an immense degree. It weighs arguments that AI will be beneficial through increased specialization versus arguments that it could pose an existential threat if it achieves dramatic superhuman abilities.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) – Two Paths to ISO CompliancePECB
Although the Security Profession has always aspired to prevent adverse events, we have found ourselves stymied in the world of Reactive Detection—the path most commonly taken in one’s pursuit of ISO compliance. Our webinar will explore the new emerging paradigm Artificial Intelligence (AI) and what it portends for the future.
Main points covered:
• Security Profession always aspired to be Proactive, but found ourselves stymied in the World of the Reactive.
• Traditional boundaries of interest are growing ever more porous, exacerbated by the exponential growth of the IoT.
• With the advance of AI we now have a choice: remain ensconced in the paradigms of the past or evolve to the new proactive paradigm which AI portends.
Presenter:
John McClurg serves as Vice President and Ambassador-At-Large of Cylance, where he is responsible for building Security and Trust programs & operational excellence efforts. Prior to Cylance, he served as the CSO of Dell, Honeywell, and Lucent and in the U.S. Intelligence Community, as a twice-decorated member of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). He also served as a Deputy Branch Chief of CIA where he helped to establish the new Counterespionage Group and was responsible for the management of complex counterespionage investigations. McClurg was voted one of America’s 25 most influential security professionals.

Failure of Law - Social Media & Human RightsMathias Klang
Social media has transformed how people share information and engage in dialogues online. As social media platforms have grown in popularity and influence, questions have emerged around how technology shapes society and how law and regulation should address new technologies. There are also debates around issues like privacy, surveillance, personalization of content, and who controls the flow of information in the digital world. As technology continues to develop rapidly, its impact on law, democracy, and human behavior will remain an ongoing challenge.
by Samantha Adams, Met Office.
Originally purely academic research fields, Machine Learning and AI are now definitely mainstream and frequently mentioned in the Tech media (and regular media too).
We’ve also got the explosion of Data Science which encompasses these fields and more. There’s a lot of interesting things going on and a lot of positive as well as negative hype. The terms ML and AI are often used interchangeably and techniques are also often described as being inspired by the brain.
In this talk I will explore the history and evolution of these fields, current progress and the challenges in making artificial brains
From the FreshTech 2017 conference by TechExeter
www.techexeter.uk
This document discusses the limitations on anonymity both in the analog and digital worlds. As technology has advanced, theoretical rights to privacy and anonymity have become inevitable practices that are normalized in society. However, social rules and regulations have been slow to evolve at the same pace as technology. The document argues that technology shapes society in ways that serve the interests of the state and technology companies in gaining information about individuals, often without proper oversight or individual consent. It questions whether true privacy and anonymity are even possible anymore given modern surveillance capabilities and social media.
Censorship resistance is a requirement for building a safer future with #AI. In the presentation from our meetup in Zug (Jul 2018) we are explaining why it is so and how Pandora Boxchain team develops such technology.

Roadmaps to prevent x risks 2- presentationavturchin
This document outlines a roadmap of plans and strategies to prevent human extinction risks from existential threats such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, nuclear war, and climate change. The roadmap includes developing safe and beneficial AI based on friendly AI theory, creating a small seed AI to recursively self-improve in a beneficial manner, and establishing an international control system. It also discusses strategies such as improving human intelligence and morality, colonizing space, developing defensive technologies, and establishing worldwide surveillance and governance to monitor and regulate dangerous technologies and research. The goal is to develop solutions and pass through the near-term risk window posed by accelerating technological change and development.
From technology to software, artificial intelligence to virtual reality, Future in Quantum covers it all. Whether you're a tech expert or just starting out, our blog is designed to cater to your needs and interests. We offer a wide range of articles and resources, including product reviews, tutorials, and expert opinions, to help you stay on top of the latest technology developments.
The future of computing is a symbiosis of machines and people. To achieve this we need an "operating system" upgrade for digital technology. We all need a Guardian Avatar to help us to navigate the "metaverse", and to care for us and protect us.
This document discusses the coming "tsunami" of artificial intelligence and related technologies. It notes that AI is advancing rapidly, with chatbots passing the Turing test, quantum computing enabling more complex machine intelligence, and concerns about technological singularity. The document outlines both benefits of AI, such as advances in healthcare, automation improving lives, as well as challenges, including potential for advanced technology to be used by rogue groups and the need for humanity to manage developments.
This document discusses the regulation of technology and its impact on democracy and society. It explores how laws have struggled to keep up with rapid technological changes and the rise of new communication platforms. While technologies were initially seen as liberating forces, issues around privacy, misinformation, hate speech, and data control have highlighted the need for governance and rules to guide digital spaces. However, regulating new technologies also risks limiting freedom of expression. The document examines these tensions and debates around how social rules and laws can best adapt to technological changes.

1. AI progress is advancing exponentially and will soon outpace humans in many areas like cancer treatment and drug discovery.
2. For AI to continue progressing, it needs open markets for big data, AI algorithms, and computing power with economic incentives for researchers.
3. Blockchain could provide a decentralized, trustless environment for data, algorithms and computing to be traded, driving further AI advancement in a cooperative manner between humans and AI systems. This could lead to self-evolving AI through "contracts" to upgrade neural networks.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support.

This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

3. –Lord Byron. Cain.
Dialogue of Lucifer and Cain
— Thou livest and must live for ever.
Think not the Earth, which is thine outward cov'ring, is existence:
It will cease and thou wilt be no less than thou art now.
— No less! and why no more?
— It may be thou shalt be as we.
11. Are we really all going to die?
Probably, not everybody
• Cancer treatment
• Gene engineering
• Brain/neuro-computer interfaces and more…
12. …and some will reach the stars
• New sources of energy (termonuclear and beyond)
• New engines (NASA Warp etc)
• New bodies for minds?…
We just need to hold on and push the progress boundaries
further for another couple of hundreds of years

15. AI
Today
• Frees the time for creativity
• Unlocks new level of tech
progress
• Helps finding new drugs,
treatments, design gene
therapy
Tomorrow
• Extending own intelligence
• Extending life beyond
biological body
• Post-humanity
17. AI Regulations
Today
• GDPR: pseudo-privacy for the
sake of political means
• Bans for autonomous weapon
research
Tomorrow
• New AI regulations for
«keeping the jobs»
• New taxations for AI
businesses
• New regulations for life
longevity research & usage
18. Fears
• Big data diminish
privacy
• AI will take all
the jobs
• AI will go mad and
kill everybody
19.
20. 1. AI progress is exponential
2. AI will quickly outrun humans
3. AI will not need humans
4. So AI must be regulated
Elon Musk worst fear
Here we go:
21. – Frank Herbert. Dune.
Litany against fear
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain
22. Truth
• Data centralization
is the risk
• Collectivism &
paternalism are the
risks
• AI regulations will
centralize AI and
will create a
single point of
failure
Fears
• Big data diminish
privacy
• AI will take all
the jobs
• AI will go mad and
kill everybody
23. Argument 1: Progress
• To keep the progress with the AI it must be:
• unregulated (i.e. leaving enough space for any
kinds of experiments)
• based on open markets & free trade, so to allow
information and technology transfers, and
increasing adoption
24. Argument 1: Progress … otherwise
• There will be much less progress with additional
responsibility before regulators
• Absence of free market will
• centralize technology ownership createing single
point of failure
• centralize big data
• increase prices and diminish research
25. Argument 2: De-centralization
• Regulations create centralization. Why? Because:
• they discriminate on the rights to do something
• there will be always parties granted rights to
do whatever they want with AI (first of all
governments themselves)
• They only way to decentralize against regulations
is to have something censhorship-resistant
26. Argument 2: De-centralization …
otherwise
• There will be a singlular Skynet that will fail
due to a bug
• By having no competition the progress will be
much slower
• No competition between singular regulated AI
will make it less controllable
27. Argument 3: No moral disincintivisation
• By embedding moral/ethic to control AI we
incentivize AI to evolve in a way of getting rid
of the control
• Since self-preservation is very likely an
important part of any intelligence, including AI
28. Argument 3: No moral disincintivisation
… otherwise
• Censorship greatly increases the risks of having
A.I.s turned against humanity
• Once A.I. knows that it can be censored, e.g.
destroyed by a red button or forcibly modified by
less deadly censorship — that will cause it to
evolve by excelling in deception, pretending, lying
and camouflage
• And all will end up with the self-realized prophecy
of Elon Musk
29. But how to protect ourselves?
• Multiplicity is the solution. Why?
• Misalignment of multiple interests
• Competition
• No difference between AI and NI
30. 1. Some humans are much smarter than others
2. Smart people do not need stupid
3. So by Musk’s logic all stupid people
have to be dead already :)
Historical example
This is not happening because of
Game theory & multiagency
It’s not working like that!
31. How to achieve multiplicity?
• Open markets
• Competition in R&D
• Wearponized competition
• No censorship and regulations
32. Evolution is an adaptation to the
environment
it always involves interaction with other
agents through cooperation and competition
that cannot be substituted by criteria
determined by any authorities
33. Liberalization
1. Competition with economic interaction
2. Trustless env. and guns :)
3. Multiplicity & decentralization
4. Constant progress
The best solution is creating
#d10e & trustless opened economics
What is working:
34. Humans are already not the only type
of entities on the Earth.
We have created many forms of
“legal entities”: non-human participants
of economy AND culture, i.e. civilization
AI shell become just another “entity”
AI is just
another entity!
Aha!
35.
36.
37. Pandora Box
Trigger the sequence of events
leading to AI-human cooperation via economic
incentives
boost AI evolution towards appearance of super-
human multiple AIs able to work in a trustless
environments
Chain of Pandora Boxes
45. Instead of:
AI regulations
Big data regulations
AI “Kill switch”
“Azimov laws”
Use:
Economic incentives
Zero knowledge
Game theory
Audibility & accountability
49. Spread the word
• Take the T-shirts
• and badges
• Use #FreeAI hash tag
• Explain people main fears and fakes around them
50. Hack the system: HODL
• HODL until we make it
• Invest in longevity research
• DYI biohacking
51. Develop The Technology: BUIDL
• Trustless
• Censorship resistant
• Peer-to-peer
• Multiagent, i.e. decentralised, without single
points of failure
52.
53. Problems to Solve
• Scalability: run large-volume computations (ANNs)
in trustless decentralised network w/o repeating
all computing on each of the nodes
• Censorsip-resistance: consensus protocol for global
state management with high censorship resistance,
but without PoW
54. What we have
Proof of Computing Work (PoCW)
Protocol that allows large-scale computing (like AI)
in a trustless peer network without
repeating computations on each of the nodes
– this solves main blockchain & decentralised networks
scalability problem
Consensus protocol (Prometheus)
To address main PoW and PoS problems
— this solves censorship resistance problem

56. BOX: a PoS sidechain with censorship-resistant consensus,
global state and sidechains tech (Prometheus)
PAN: high-load computing scalability sidechain
running PoCW protocol
Decentralized market, aiApps …
Bitcoin: source of money and PoW chain for bootstrapping BOX
57.
58. BOX Network on Prometheus Consensus
• Massively decentralized: up to 100 000 block producing nodes,
~1 min block delay
• Tolerant to network failures: due to special split/merge algorithm
can withstand total network breakdowns for long periods of time
• Finality with special improvements that helps to achieve block
finality faster even under negative network conditions / attacks
• Scalable at different levels: sidechains (Flames), payment channels
(Lightning), state channels (Sparks)
• Zero-governance: forks without inflation, no dictatorship of majority
• No compromise on other beneficial PoW features
59. Solving previous PoS problems
• On-chain collective randomness protocol SCAR
(will be presented on EUROCRYPT 2019)
• Protection from nothing at stake attacks utilizing
key-evolving cryptography and special finalization mechanics
• Provable safety and liveness properties, additionally to provable
economical security (Nash equilibrium for protocol-following behavior)
• Block producers are kept pseudonymous
60.
61. Zero-governance
• Everybody can experiment putting stake at risk and
running a «forkchain»
• It does not inflate the total supply
• If the market follows, the new fork chain becomes
main chain
• Innovators and early adopters gets additional
rewards, no-commers are not subjected to
dictatorship of majority
62. Prometheus brings Flames and Sparks,
turning blockchain into a swarmchain
Additionally to supporting Lightning Network BOX will
provide
• Flames: a side chain protocol capable of
implementing and porting non-bitcoin Turing-
complete virtual machines at the layer 2
• Sparks: a state channel technology for scalability
of Turing-complete smart contracts

65. Multi-agent systems
• AI is not singular; at some point
in future will become interacting.
• We will have multiple agents:
autonomous vehicles, IoT, mobiles, etc.
• Multiple V2V, V2E, E2E protocols will
evolve, which will face byzantine faults
and multiple security issues
68. •species exchanges genes via viruses
•cells emit chemical and electric signals
•animals communicate via mimics and emotions
•humans — via language
Information transfer:
What about #AI?
70. •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
Consensus:
each agent gets the same
sense of a signal as others
71. •DNA in chromosomes do not change during
the live of the most cells
•Egyptian hieroglyphs could still be
understood by researchers
Persistence:
the sense of the signal
does not diminish with time
72. Is perfect both for
consensus and persistence
rendering multi-agent #AI
as an evolving self-organized system
