Part 11/12:
Future Directions
As the session concludes, Shapiro hints at several future steps:
Improving use of notes and dream summaries to enhance Raven’s understanding.
Creating a comprehensive KB on the user to inform Raven’s responses and self-modeling.
Developing more sophisticated inner loops that blend real-time decision-making with offline reflection and learning.
Refining metaphor and theme extraction methods to allow Raven to conceptualize experiences and generate narratives about itself and its goals.
He underscores that building such a comprehensive cognitive system is a multiyear journey, combining insights from psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, and AI research.
