Artificiality: Being with AIJoscha Bach at the Artificiality Summit 2024In this episode, we bring you a lecture from the Artificiality Summit in October 2024 given by Joscha Bach. Joscha is a cognitive scientist, AI researcher, and philosopher known for his work on cognitive architectures, artificial intelligence, mental representation, emotion, social modeling, multi-agent systems, and philosophy of mind. His research aims to bridge cognitive science and AI by studying how human intelligence and consciousness can be modeled computationally.In his lecture, Joscha explores the nature of intelligence, consciousness, and reality. Drawing from philosophy, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence, Joscha examines how minds emerge, how consciousness functions as the “conductor” of o...

The Smart Spin# 132 Summary of Principles of Synthetic Intelligence by Joscha BachIn this episode, we discuss Joscha Bach's Principles of Synthetic Intelligence (PSI) Theory is explored, emphasizing that understanding intelligence requires creating it. PSI Theory focuses on mental representation, using schemas for knowledge organization and behavior scripts for action sequences. The podcast also discusses how perception is an active process, blending sensory data with existing knowledge. Emotions and motivations are crucial components, guiding behavior in synthetic agents, with the discussion exploring the potential for building virtual minds through platforms like microp PSI. Finally, the podcast examines language's role in intelligence, the challenges of neuro-symbolic approaches, and the ethical considerations surrounding conscio...

Machine Learning Street Talk (MLST)Joscha Bach - Why Your Thoughts Aren't Yours.Dr. Joscha Bach discusses advanced AI, consciousness, and cognitive modeling. He presents consciousness as a virtual property emerging from self-organizing software patterns, challenging panpsychism and materialism. Bach introduces "Cyberanima," reinterpreting animism through information processing, viewing spirits as self-organizing software agents.
He addresses limitations of current large language models and advocates for smaller, more efficient AI models capable of reasoning from first principles. Bach describes his work with Liquid AI on novel neural network architectures for improved expressiveness and efficiency.
The interview covers AI's societal implications, including regulation challenges and impact on innovation. Bach argues for...

From the Foreword:"In this book Joscha Bach introduces Dietrich Dorner's PSI architecture and Joscha's implementation of the MicroPSI architecture. These architectures and their implementation have several lessons for other architectures and models. Most notably, the PSI architecture includes drives and thus directly addresses questions of emotional behavior. An architecture including drives helps clarify how emotions could arise. It also changes the way that the architecture works on a fundamental level, providing an architecture more suited for behaving autonomously in a...

Clearer Thinking with Spencer GreenbergIs the universe a computer? (with Joscha Bach) Read the full transcript here. What is intelligence? What exactly does an IQ test measure? What are the similarities and differences between the structure of GPT-3 and the structure of the human brain (so far as we understand it)? Is suffering — as the Buddhists might say — just a consequence of the stories we tell about ourselves and the world? What's left (if anything) of the human mind if we strip away the "animal" parts of it? We've used our understanding of the human brain to inform the construction of AI models, but have AI models yielded new insi...

Wunderbar TogetherJoscha Bach, wie lange gibst du der Menschheit noch?
Mit dem Kognitionsforscher Joscha Bach zu sprechen, ist ein bisschen wie eine Sinfonie seines berühmten Vorfahren, Johann Sebastian Bach, zu hören. Man versteht nicht alles, aber man genießt, lernt und wächst an dem, was die eigenen Ohren mitbekommen.
Ein paar Takte zur Kostprobe:
„Ich habe kein Interesse daran, das zu tun, was der Rest der Welt tut. Denn das, was der Rest der Welt macht, ergibt meist keinen Sinn.“
„Künstliche Intelligenzen sind unsere Kinder.“
„Die Menschen, die auf den Mars umsiedeln, werden nur noch wenig Ähnlichkeit mit unserer jetz...

OneSchool Project20 - Joscha Bach, PhD, Cognitive Scientist, Intel LabsI had an absolute blast conversing with Joscha Bach, a cognitive scientist, who uses the tool of artificial intelligence to study the human mind and consciousness. I have learned an incredible amount from his discussions with other thinkers (linked below). I couldn't be happier that he agreed to explore the intersection of subjective experience and learning. We wound through history, philosophy, and some economics to demonstrate how systems theory might be a better lens through which to solve problems.

The Investment TurnaroundJoscha Bach | Do We Live in a Simulation? (#34)In this philosophically daring podcast, Dr. Joscha Bach addresses several important questions related to our understanding of who we are as human beings and how this understanding informs the AI systems we are currently developing. He challenges the widely accepted null hypothesis that humans are the most super natural beings in the Universe. As a consequence, we seem reluctant to accept what Joscha calls “the reasonable certainly that we are machines".
Enjoy the show!

ChaosradioElektronengehirne CR187: Wie lange dauert es noch, bis unsere Telefone intelligent werden?
Gerne sprechen wir unbelebten Dingen einen Charakter und Intelligenz zu. Früher waren es Naturgötter, die Baumstämme und Steine belebten, heute ist es der Drucker, der aus reiner „Bosheit“ genau bis zur Diplomarbeit wartet, um in Zungen zu sprechen statt zu drucken. Furcht vor aber auch Hoffnung auf Intelligenz in den Dingen scheint uns sehr zu beschäftigen – so sehr, daß ein ganzer Forschungszweig die Künstliche Intelligenz erforscht und schaffen will. Seit dem mechanischen Schachtürken und dem altehrwürdigen Gesprächs-Simulator „Eliza“ hat die Forschung große Spr...
