Part 3/12:
At the core of the session is an open explanation of where Shapiro is heading with Raven, a long-term endeavor to flesh out an AI that not only processes language but also maintains memories, thoughts, and internal dialogues—think of a digital Jarvis or Cortana with functionally sentient capabilities.
He references his trilogy of books that lay the theoretical groundwork:
Natural Language Cognitive Architecture: Discusses how to structurally process language in a way that mimics human cognition.
Benevolent by Design: Focuses on defining the core objectives for AI, emphasizing behavioral principles like reducing suffering, increasing prosperity, and promoting understanding.
