Welcome to Episode 3 of The ABCs for Building The Future
This weekās podcast concludes our intro 3 part series on āMeet The Foundersā, and we dive into how predictive processing, epistemology, and the quest for shared understanding are not only philosophical but foundational to creating aligned AI systems.
UPDATE:
Weāre thrilled to share that Epistemic Me is now live on GitHub! Thanks to the incredible work of Deen and Jonathan, our documentation is up and ready for open-source contributions. š Explore our resources and join the movement to build belief-driven AI systems.

Hereās What Youāll Hear
Predictive Processing: Generating Reality in Real-Time
Jonathan shared a paradigm-shifting concept:
"Thereās no common world model in predictive processing. Each of us generates our reality based on internal beliefs, creating the world onto the self in real-time."
This concept lays the foundation for designing AI systems that better understand human behavior by mimicking this generative process.
* Predictive processing enables AI to adapt to the nuances of individual beliefs.
* It opens possibilities for personalizing AI tools for health, communication, and decision-making.
Beliefs: The Framework of Reality
Deen posed a critical question:
"How do we form new beliefs, know theyāre true, and use them to create models of self?"
By treating beliefs as the architecture of self-knowledge, we unlock the potential to bridge gaps in understanding between individuals, organizations, and even AI.
Imagine organizations using belief models to enhance collaboration, reduce friction, and solve problems with shared understanding.
Why AI Needs to Model Belief Systems
Robert emphasized:"The problem of human problems is miscommunication and lack of shared understanding."
By modeling beliefs, AI can bridge these gaps, creating scalable ways to foster empathy and solve global challenges.
Epistemic Meās SDK allows developers to design tools that map belief systems, enabling breakthroughs in mental health, team dynamics, and societal cooperation.

FAQ: What Youāre Probably Wondering
FAQs
Q: What is predictive processing?A: framework suggesting that our brains actively generate reality by predicting sensory inputs, updating beliefs as new information arises.
Q: Why focus on beliefs in AI?A: Beliefs shape our understanding of the world. Modeling them enables AI to adapt to human nuances and foster shared understanding.
Q: How does Epistemic Me work?A: Our open-source SDK uses predictive models to help developers create belief-driven, hyper-personalized solutions for applications in health, collaboration, and personal growth. Think of it as a toolkit for understanding how people think and making better tools, apps, or decisions because of it.
Q: Who is this podcast for?A: Entrepreneurs, builders, developers, researchers, and anyone whoās curious about the intersection of technology, philosophy, and personal growth. If youāve ever wondered how to align AI with human valuesāor just how to understand yourself betterāthis is for you.
Q: How is this different from other AI tools?A: Most AI tools are about predictions and automation. Epistemic Me is about understandingābuilding models that reflect the nuances of human thought and behavior. And itās open source!
Q: How can I get involved?A: Glad you asked! Weāre gearing up to open-source the project, and we need contributors, testers, and advocates. If youāre interested, sign up here.
Q: Who can join?
A: Developers, philosophers, and anyone passionate about the underpinnings of human decision-making.
Q: How to start?
A: Visit our GitHub repository, explore our documentation, and become part of a project that envisions a new frontier in belief modeling.
Q: Why open-source?
A: Itās about harnessing collective intelligence for innovation, transparency, and global community involvement in shaping belief-driven solutions.
