The Second Cycle of Miami AI Club's Journey
#AILawfare was the second cycle of the Miami AI Club's journey. The journey that started on September 11th with #AIHealthRush by paying respect and positive energy to those who lost their lives during the 9/11 attacks and victims of war and violence, we envisioned how to create a better world with AI.
How we can change the status quo with the new powerful tool that we have access to, and how to make sure it's a means for positive change, and that it's not going to be used to abuse nature and society? This is the vision of the Miami AI Club.
Miami AI Club is growing like an organism, getting nourished by the community, and getting improved to serve a purpose and positive impact through AI. We started with healthcare, because health is the most important aspect of our lives. And on #AILawfare, we started our second cycle. This was a closed-door event with a purpose-driven and diverse list of decision-makers, executives, AI builders and enthusiasts and we examined how to ensure nothing goes wrong.
Nima Schei's Talk: Pivotal Times in Human History
We are living in pivotal times in human history. For the first time, our generation has to make decisions that would directly impact our existence 2, 5, 20 generations later, even to cause human extinction.
The Three Chapters
Chapter 1: How I became a doctor creating AI models 20 years ago and how I merged my knowledge of neuroscience with computer science and created the first group of AI models that were inspired by how emotions are processed in our brain. Since we made BEL open-sourced there have been 400+ use cases. I learned that brain-inspired AI or bio-inspired AI is the key to thinking outside of the box.
In the second phase of the 1st chapter, I was doing my research on computational models of neuronal networks in crab's stomachs. So sophisticated. Many of those properties are missing from AI models today.
Chapter 2: I became an AI entrepreneur starting projects out of garage in BEL Research. Started a couple of companies like PERA AI. Bringing AI and BEL into the industry. I continued with Hummingbirds AI which we have released an enterprise-grade field-proven vision AI product for automating access to computers. It's a privacy-first product.
Chapter 3: I became an AI activist, to make sure it's a tool to reduce the gap between poor and rich, between developed and developing world, between giant tech and startups, and to prevent any black swan effect while increasing the gain for 8 billion people and the planet. So I speak up about the positive sides and dark side of AI.
The Unintended Consequences
One of the BEL use cases is for missile control. I never anticipated this use case and how BEL can be used for this purpose. We don't need AI in warfare. We talked about the importance of anticipating what might go wrong 20 years from now with the powerful technologies that we are creating today and soon.
David Bleisch: AI Virtual Assistant Demo
During the event, N. David Bleisch with his multidisciplinary background showed a demo of his ChatGPT AI virtual assistant and image generators.
A snapshot of the event is available on Youtube.
Panel Discussion
David Bleisch joined the panel with Frank Cona and Daniel Barsky where we discussed some controversial topics from sentient AI to legal IP rights of AI models, to the government role in favoring big tech and also defining human value for AI models in critical scenarios.
Key Discussion Topics
- Sentient AI and consciousness in artificial systems
- Legal IP rights of AI models and generated content
- Government's role in favoring big tech companies
- Defining human value for AI models in critical scenarios
Poll Results
During the event, we conducted several polls to gauge the audience's perspective on critical AI governance questions. The results provided fascinating insights into how our community thinks about AI regulation, ethics, and the future of technology.
Community Insights
The poll results revealed a community deeply engaged with the ethical implications of AI, showing particular concern about the balance between innovation and regulation, as well as the need for transparent AI governance frameworks.
