Resolving the AI Explainability Problem: An AWE-Based Approach

The AI Explainability Problem challenges us to make complex AI systems understandable to humans. At first glance, it seems straightforward: we just want to know why a system made a particular decision. But when we dig deeper, we realize this problem is rooted in mistaken assumptions about cognition, both human and artificial. It’s not just…

Solving the Symbol Grounding Problem: A Contextual Approach to Meaning

I.The Symbol Grounding Problem questions how abstract symbols gain real meaning. We rely on language, codes, and signs, but how do those symbols connect with actual experience? Without a direct link, words risk floating as mere placeholders, empty of substance. This challenge extends to artificial intelligence and daily human communication alike. When we say “chair,”…

Solving the AI Control Problem: A Wisdom-Based Approach to Alignment

The AI Control Problem, encompassing challenges such as instrumental convergence, self-preservation, and power-seeking tendencies, reflects deeper philosophical issues about agency, purpose, and alignment in artificial systems. Addressing these challenges effectively requires us to move beyond naive assumptions about “intelligence” and “goals” as fixed or inherently meaningful constructs. These assumptions often lead us to envision AI…

Challenging AI’s Ultimate Prize: Artificial Wisdom Emulation (AWE) Outshines AGI

Have you ever wondered if, in our relentless pursuit of smarter machines, we’re actually missing the bigger picture? We’ve been so fixated on achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) that we might be overlooking what we really want out of AI. Maybe it’s time we adjust our focus from creating intelligent systems that can outdo human…

Non-Ontological Scientific Inquiry: Science Without Metaphysics

Non-Ontological Scientific Inquiry: Science Without Metaphysics

Science, the cornerstone of human progress, often relies on metaphysical assumptions that remain unexamined. Constructs such as “laws of nature,” “particles,” and “forces” are indispensable for organizing knowledge and making predictions. However, they are often mistaken for inherent features of reality. This reification—treating conceptual tools as independently existing entities—can stifle creativity, narrow inquiry, and obscure…
