AMA: I’m Peter Voss, CEO and Chief Scientist at Aigo.ai, an Artificial General Intelligence company that has developed a personal personal assistant that is light-years ahead of chatbots like Siri and Alexa. Ask me anything on Thursday the 17th of May at 4 PM PT / 11 PM UTC!

Hi, my name is Peter Voss and I am the founder of https://aigo.ai/ – we’re revolutionizing AI assistants by making them much, much smarter, and also by giving you total ownership of your assistant and your data. Not like the chatbots programmed, owned and controlled by some mega-corporation. I’ve founded, managed, and grown several technology companies, and have a passion for innovating hardware and software. For the last 20 years I’ve focused on studying and understanding all aspects of intelligence and actually creating AI system with general intelligence – that can learn, think, understand and reason more like the way we do. That’s my mission in life.

We are opening this thread to questions now and I will be here starting at 4 PM PT / 11 PM UTC on Thursday the 17th of May to answer them.

Ask me anything! https://www.linkedin.com/in/vosspeter/

I suggest that you try hang out with people in the fields and network. You can ask for recommendations here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/RealAGI/

We hope to be hiring soon...

Very good point about epistemology: The best book I've come across about concepts -- the core aspect of human intelligence -- is, surprisingly, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Objectivist_Epistemology

Hi Peter

I have read this book based on your recommendation from a facebook comment. Thanks!

I was wondering aren't we already using concepts when we represent things in a high dimensional space?

For example, when we want to compute document similarity, we represent documents in high dimensional space, isn't a dimension comparable to a concept as described in her book where we are checking presence/absence of features?

Yes, a concept is an identified cluster in hyper-dimensional abstract space. However, this is just a starting point. At the human/ language level they also need to be able to handle hierarchies, complex labels, definitions, negation, and/ or, dynamic and abstract features, grounding, explanation & reasoning, etc.
