VERSES Presents Novel Theories at the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness
20 Juli 2023 - 2:00PM
VERSES AI Inc. (CBOE:VERS) (OTCQX:VRSSF) ("VERSES" or the
"Company”), a cognitive computing company specializing in the next
generation of artificial intelligence (AI), announces presentation
of its developments and contributions at the Association for the
Scientific Study of Consciousness.
The 26th annual meeting of the Association for the Scientific
Study of Consciousness (ASSC), held at New York University, last
month, welcomed a variety of distinguished keynote speakers,
presenters and philosophers including Thomas Nagel, David Chalmers
and two contributors from VERSES –Director of Product, Mahault
Albarracin, and Senior Researcher, Alex Kiefer, who presented novel
and potentially disruptive theories in cognitive neuroscience.
Albarracin presented findings on a model of consciousness
derived from the free-energy principle (FEP). After outlining the
classical and quantum formulations of FEP, Albarracin discussed its
implications on the sparse, nested and hierarchical neuro-anatomy
of the brain.
“We believe VERSES continues to be at the forefront of
innovation in AI, guided by the principles of scientific discovery
and technological advancement. The research presented at the ASSC
2023 conference underlines the commitment of VERSES’ researchers to
pioneer breakthroughs in AI, cognitive science, and our
understanding of consciousness itself,” said Albarracin.
The highlight of Albarracin's presentation was the examination
of the holographic structure of the brain and how it supports overt
and covert action. The research connects our understanding of human
consciousness with AI development, fostering a novel approach to AI
at VERSES.
Kiefer, stationed at Monash University, challenged traditional
cognitive science debates, asserting that 21st-century advancements
in the theory of cognitive systems, particularly those linked with
sophisticated AI and machine learning, have rendered two “outdated”
dichotomies.
The first dichotomy Kiefer dismantled was between iconic and
discursive (language-like) representations or representational
formats. The second, was between formal, rule-governed processes or
state transitions and associative ones.
Kiefer's talk elucidated the role and function of vector space
embeddings - common elements in all successful deep learning
systems - as being more flexible and capable than traditionally
recognized. He presented four key theses highlighting the
capabilities of vector space representations and their roles in
modern paradigms in cognitive science. Kiefer's research aims to
broaden our understanding of AI, offering insights into the
workings of advanced systems.
These presentations from Kiefer and Albarracin highlight the
innovative research conducted by VERSES, as they delve into the
intricacies of AI and cognitive sciences. The following papers,
related to their respective presentations, are presented below for
additional context.
- Inner screen model of consciousness
- Designing explainable AI
