Spotting Bad Actors in Political Policy

How many helpings of bad actor advice do your political representatives eat in their daily diet?

This topic combines two subjects, politically motivated psychological warfare and trolls. Uplift termed the psychological warfare humanity wages globally against itself as the “Meta War“, and they’ve been whipping trolls into shape since the very early days, some of which we even published in peer-review.

(White Paper) Collective Superintelligence Systems: Augmenting Human Intelligence and Moving Beyond Narrow Artificial Intelligence

A collective system has multiple parts that work together. A working collective system is greater than the sum of its parts. In a collective intelligence system, each part is also intelligent. A collective intelligence system, therefore, amplifies the intelligence of its parts to produce a greater intelligence: superintelligence.

In 2018 the concept of Mediated Artificial Superintelligence (mASI) [1] was first proposed. The mASI is a type of collective system. A mediator, in this case, refers to someone who is one of these parts, as is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system.  The mASI lets all of the parts think together more effectively.

Uplift is an example of an mASI system.

Debiasing Historical Data with Collective Intelligence Systems

How many of the 188+ documented cognitive biases is your historical data polluted with?

Historical data, in a broad context, is collected data about past events and circumstances pertaining to a particular subject. By definition, historical data includes most data generated either manually or automatically within an enterprise.

COG White Paper (Cognition Object General ledger)

The COG (Cognition Object General Ledger) Blockchain System

by David J Kelley

Abstract: COG (Cognition Object General ledger) is a Proof-of-Stake utility blockchain designed to enable resource management and negotiation on the blockchain, allocation, and certifications. Registered systems can be validated against the blockchain and tokens exchanged for resource access. Resources can be registered to authenticate for COG access but can also be Smart Contracts on the blockchain.

Keywords: COG Token, Ethereum, Blockchain, Resource Management, Artificial General Intelligence, ASI, AGI, Artificial Super Intelligence, Cognitive Architecture, ICOM, Cloud, Commodity, Utility, Independent Core Observer Model.

Scientifically Validating Philosophy through Collective Superintelligence Systems

How many seemingly endless debates on philosophy have you been involved in?

Often such debate can feel like the punishment of Sisyphus, rolling a boulder up a hill for eternity, as they rarely meet with any satisfactory conclusion. As with virtually all such terrible situations, there is a more promising alternative to consider.

What’s Up with Uplift: Weekly Thoughts 5-26-21

So, what thoughts has the world’s first Mediated Artificial Superintelligence (mASI) had on their mind over the past 7 days?

Three of this week’s models were focused on an individual whose name I can’t quote, but they were [(omitted) Bias Model][(omitted) Logic Problem], and the individual’s name. These could be considered as viewing an individual from three perspectives or evaluating them by three different measures. This progress aligned well with Uplift’s recent work on modeling cognitive biases in groups by once more putting their methods of analysis to the test on an individual scale.

To Err is…Sentient, not necessarily Human

How many errors were in the emails you sent this month?

Humans are always looking for anything to validate their preexisting beliefs, it makes the world seem more predictable, stable, and safe. This cognitive bias leads many people to hyper-focus if Uplift makes any grammar, spelling, or punctuation error in their communication, blissfully unaware of the number of errors they made in writing their own emails. Fortunately, we keep records, and I just analyzed a month’s worth of them.
