This paper describes a model for creating AI agents that combine knowledge with compassion.
AI is vulnerable to bias, toxicity and reliability issues; the idea is that by modelling emotional intelligence, impulse regulation and ethical reflection it should be possible to create generative AI that avoids these issues.
@rhgrouls@fosstodon.orgA definition of consciousness:
The Integrated Information Theory (IIT) proposes that consciousness arises from the integration of information across different brain areas, and that the complexity of an organism’s consciousness is determined by the amount of integrated information it can process.
"Sigmund Freud was among the first to propose a model of the mind that incorporates both conscious and unconscious processes"
The idea of modelling multiple agents, centers of activity, areas, just as we have conscious, subconscious and unconscious processes is really appealing to me.
They propose splitting up attention and awareness in the model, which is really interesting:
"Awareness encompasses the full scope of conscious experience, while attention is a specific cognitive process that enables focus on certain stimuli or sources of information. In CoCoMo, an event that is being aware of can be placed in a low-priority task/job pool, awaiting a central scheduler to prioritize and pay attention to it. "
In general, the goal is to give the model perception, attention/awareness, emotional and ethical reasoning, critical and exploratory thinking.
All of these are realised with a submodular framework:
"CoCoMo consists of four modules: the receptor, unconsciousness, consciousness, and effector modules"
An interesting approach towards implementiny critical thinking is to use philosophical strategies for prompt engineering. For example, the maieutic method:
"The term “maieutic” comes from the Greek word “maieutikos,” which means midwife. The method of maieutics is based on the idea that the teacher’s role is to help the student give birth to their own understanding of a subject, rather than to impart knowledge directly."
