Re: Human Brain Project

Formal mathematical frameworks for modeling consciousness, cognition, reasoning and learning, quantum physics and  Madhyamaka Buddhist logic in combination have been a topic of anthropocentric research.
The problem with the statements by Michio Kaku and David Eagleman is that they describe an anthropocentric world whereas AI will have to deal in the future with applications where interactions with other species on Planet Earth are necessary.
Cognition and consciousness are found in almost all sentient beings and have two things in common sensory apparatus and neural tissues for processing, storing and acting upon sensory and stored information.
Consciousness does NOT drive our long term agendas, see:Scientists Reveal the Number of Times You're Actually Conscious Each Minute

When we truly want to build an adequate model for AI KR we need to focus on how we process sensory input and store this in our neural tissues.
Most of what we do as human beings and also in other sentient beings is biologically hardwired, from culture, religious experience, tribal behavior and even our reasoning.

I am a firm believer of the Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures approach to modeling AI KR as one of the best ways to create AI that can deal with more than just humans in our modern technologically advanced society. Milton Ponson

Subject: Updates and or follow up for the W3C AI-KR CG  Dear all,  I gather we now have a wiki and web pages accessible to all.  As I mentioned from the beginning, in the end the ontology engineering is what it will boil down to.  So why do we not collective start producing a list of available publications (printed books, ebooks, student theses, deliverables from subsidized research projects e.g. from the European Union, focusing on ontology engineering, machine learning and knowledge representation. This could be added in the Topics section where it will also help to illustrate which aspects and issues are already well documented and researched.  The ethical use of AI has become a HOT issue in the United Nations, with the main discussion being promoted by UNESCO.  And also take a look at https://www.humanbrainproject.eu. Milton Ponson
