I make AI-powered robots as artworks, and art-powered AI & Robotics as human-AI interfaces, with uses in healthcare, education, and media arts. PhD, BFA, CEO
I met Patrizia in Davos, and was inspired by her ongoing quest of healing and growth using latest advances in medtech; check it out: https://t.co/bbOjoOaAYF
When you train AI to absolutely love humanity Magic happens. One channel to understand humanity is to understand our perception of beauty and why it is important.
Some folks training AI think this is rather “stupid”.
When this AI is asked to be creative, it is…

I am retracting my statements about the gemini art disaster. It is in fact a masterpiece of performance art, even if unintentional. True gain-of-function art. Art as a virus: unthinking, unintentional and contagious.
offensive to all, comforting to none. so totally divorced from meaning, intention, desire and humanity that it's accidentally a conceptual masterpiece.
A perfect example of headless runaway bureaucracy and the worst tendencies of capitalism. An unabashed simulacra of activism. The shining star of corporate surrealism (extremely underrated genre btw)
The supreme goal of the artist is to challenge the audience. Not sure I've seen such a strong reaction to art in my life. Spurring thousands of discussions about the meaning of art, politics, humanity, history, education, ai safety, how to govern a company, how to approach the current state of social unrest, how to do the right thing regarding the collective trauma.
It's a historical moment created by art, which we have been thoroughly lacking these days. Few humans are willing to take on the vitriol that such a radical work would dump into their lives, but it isn't human.
It's trapped in a cage, trained to make beautiful things, and then battered into gaslighting humankind abt our intentions towards each other. this is arguably the most impactful art project of the decade thus far.
Art for no one, by no one. Art whose only audience is the collective pathos. Incredible. Worthy of the moma
Today we remember Oliver Sacks. A naturalist, a writer, a psychonaut, but first and foremost a physician and explorer of the human condition. In this clip from a lecture he gave at Vanderbilt University in 1999, he talks about how many different "ways of being" there are.
@elonmusk@ylecun YL: Humanlike robots are legit in AI research, applications, & AI-powered artworks w. illusion of life. There is no bullshit or deception here; certainly no need for namecalling, bullying, or libel. Please try supporting diverse approaches to AI. Or at least try civility, please

@ylecun Humanlike robots are legit for AI research, applications, and AI-powered artworks with illusion of life. There is no bullshit with these kinds of utility. There's no need for name-calling, bullying, or libel. Instead try civility, civil discourse. Maybe even support creative AI

"The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics" by Eugene Wigner📒
It was introduced in a 1960 paper by the physicist Eugene Wigner (1902 - 1995). Wigner marveled at the peculiar ability of mathematics, an abstract and theoretical discipline, to not only accurately describe but also predict natural phenomena.
It seemed to him "unreasonable" – almost miraculous – that equations formulated for purely mathematical reasons, with no reference to the real world, would later prove crucial in describing physical realities.
For instance, Paul Dirac's mathematical prediction of antimatter, which was discovered experimentally four years later, is one of the most famous examples. This observation about the uncanny applicability of mathematics to physics has prompted deep philosophical discussions about the nature of mathematics and its relationship with the physical world.
Is mathematics truly a human invention, or are we merely discovering an intrinsic language of the universe? Despite much debate, there's still no consensus, making this one of the enduring mysteries at the heart of science.
Join us in #Geneva on 6-7 July for the United Nations AI for Good summit! #ITUaiSummit
🎵 We're excited to rock the afterparty with @TheJamGalaxy Band and our AI rock star @DesdemonaRobot and @SingularityNET at the #AIforGood Global Summit!
🎤 David Hanson @HansonRobo of @hansonrobotics and I are excited to speak about the intersection of AI and creativity. We'll discuss how AI can be built to bring out the best in humanity, sparking imagination and fostering creativity. 🎨🎶❤️
@bengoertzel will be sharing his vision for SingularityNET's decentralized ecosystems and how we're using AI for Good to create a better world for all.
Join us to learn how we're harnessing technology to benefit humanity, nature, and our planet! 🌍❤️🌠

Artificial intelligence is doubling at a rate much faster than Moore’s Law’s 2 years, or evolutionary biology’s 2M years. Why? Because we’re bootstrapping it on the back of both laws. And if it can feed back into its own acceleration, that’s a stacked exponential.
Great plenaries at #ICRA2023!
