INTRODUCING

AGI Designer

Imagine: being able to design a dynamic, naturalistic AI agent in minutes...

Building on our existing modular framework, we propose a  powerful new tool for designing naturalistic AI. Our product will allow users to build their own AI agents through custom drag-and-drop design with our existing circuit modules:

Evolution of Memory

ASIMOV-FAM

Ekaterina D. Gribkova & Rhanor Gillette

We developed ASIMOV (short for "Algorithm of Selectivity by Incentive, Motivation and Optimized Valuation") as a biologically inspired AI. ASIMOV is an agent-based simulation built on the neuronal circuitry for cost-benefit decision of an invertebrate model system (see Cyberslug below) through simple stepwise additions for complex function with computationally simple algorithms. ASIMOV provides a fundamental framework for developing artificial animal behavior and cognition through step-wise modifications.

The ASIMOV-FAM agent maps its environment and autonomously creates shortcuts using a novel memory module.

CORE CIRCUITRY OF DECISION-MAKING

Contemporary artificial intelligence lacks the attributes of natural intelligence, in particular the abilities to relate information affectively. Here we show in simulation the function of a basic neuronal circuit for cost-benefit decision, derived from studies of a predatory generalist, the sea-slug Pleurobranchaea californica, and based on affective integration of information. Its simplicity may reflect distant ancestral qualities on which complexities in economic, cognitive, and social behaviors were built. The simulation validates experimental data and provides a basic module for expansion of behavioral complexity.

We are presently working to add enhanced cognitive abilities and social behavior to the Cyberslug framework in simple piecemeal fashion following an evolutionarily plausible course, as with our current expansion, ASIMOV-FAM.
