An Affective-Taxis Hypothesis for Alignment and Interpretability
Eli Sennesh, Maxwell Ramstead
AI alignment is a field of research that aims to develop methods to ensure that agents always behave in a manner aligned with (i.e. consistently with) the goals and values of their…
Dynamic Markov Blanket Detection for Macroscopic Physics Discovery
Jeff Beck, Maxwell J. D. Ramstead
The free energy principle (FEP), along with the associated constructs of Markov blankets and ontological potentials, have recently been presented as the core components of a genera…
Noumenal Labs White Paper: How To Build A Brain
Maxwell J. D. Ramstead, Candice Pattisapu, Jason Fox +1
This white paper describes some of the design principles for artificial or machine intelligence that guide efforts at Noumenal Labs. These principles are drawn from both nature and…
A Rosetta Stone Hypothesis for Neurophenomenology: Mathematical Predictions from Predictive Processing
Lancelot Da Costa, Anil K. Seth, Karl Friston +2
Consciousness science faces the challenge of bridging first-person experience with third-person empirical measurements. Neurophenomenology aims to build such `generative passages'…
A framework for the use of generative modelling in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics
Karl J Friston, Maxwell J D Ramstead, Dalton A R Sakthivadivel
We discuss an approach to mathematically modelling systems made of objects that are coupled together, using generative models of the dependence relationships between states (or tra…
A Path Towards Legal Autonomy: An interoperable and explainable approach to extracting, transforming, loading and computing legal information using large language models, expert systems and Bayesian networks
Axel Constant, Hannes Westermann, Bryan Wilson +6
Legal autonomy - the lawful activity of artificial intelligence agents - can be achieved in one of two ways. It can be achieved either by imposing constraints on AI actors such as…
