Summary

ComplexChaos proposes to develop a modular, extensible framework that integrates various motivational systems within AGI architectures. This framework will emphasize adaptability, ethical alignment, and the potential to support both human-like and alien intelligences. Building on our expertise in artificial collective intelligence, we aim to empower AGI to dynamically adjust its motivations in response to changing internal and external factors.

Approach and Motivation

Contextualization and Background

ComplexChaos has developed a solid foundation in collective decision-making technologies through our Large Consensus Model (LCM) Architecture and related tools like OneVoice. The underlying principles of consensus-building and context-driven intelligence can be leveraged to design a flexible motivational framework for AGI. At ComplexChaos, we believe in developing “the right decision” by merging multi-stakeholder and automated AI perspectives  .

Proposed Modular Framework for Motivational Systems

We propose a layered, adaptable architecture for AGI motivation systems:

  1. Motivational Layers and Customization: The framework will employ motivational layers to enable easy configuration of various motivational models. By leveraging principles from the LCM Architecture, we will create a system where both internal states (like energy levels or information gaps) and external stimuli (such as user interactions or environmental changes) inform dynamic motivational adjustments. This modularity will allow human-like and alien motivational constructs to coexist or be tailored based on specific AGI applications.

  2. Ethical Alignment and Multi-Agent Coordination: Building on the ethical alignment mechanisms within our LCM approach, the proposed motivational framework will embed protocols for managing conflicts between motivations, in line with overarching human values. This aligns with the ethical standards and real-time adaptability requested by Hyperon. Our experience with OneVoice in establishing consensus through multi-agent systems will inform the development of motivational models that foster socially beneficial outcomes  .

Integration with PRIMUS and Hyperon

The proposed motivational framework will integrate with key elements of the Hyperon infrastructure:

  1. Integration with ECAN: Our framework will incorporate dynamic prioritization mechanisms that inform the Economic Attention Allocation Network (ECAN). We plan to implement semi-autonomous motivational models based on reinforcement learning principles, which adapt to ECAN’s resource allocation goals.

  2. Distributed Atomspace (DAS): Leveraging DAS, the framework will maintain stateful motivational attributes and decisions within a distributed knowledge base. This allows for consistency and adaptability in decision-making across various contexts and scenarios.

  3. MeTTa Language Compatibility: We will express motivational logic and rule sets within the MeTTa language, facilitating flexible and complex motivation-driven behaviors within the AGI system .

Use Cases and Roadmap

Detailed Use Cases:

  1. Chatbot Systems: Motivational drivers could help a chatbot shift from information retrieval to empathetic engagement based on real-time user emotions and needs.

  2. Humanoid Robots and Virtual Agents: Using LCM’s distributed agent architecture, we envision robots or virtual agents adjusting their motivations in real-time based on feedback from their environment, users, or other AGI systems.

Scalability and Adaptability:

The framework will build on our scalable LCM architecture principles, allowing for growth from simple systems to advanced AGI applications. We envision a pathway to support highly dynamic environments, facilitating robust AGI adaptability

  1. Integration with ECAN: Our framework will incorporate dynamic prioritization mechanisms that inform the Economic Attention Allocation Network (ECAN). We plan to implement motivational systems that adjust resource allocation based on both internal states (e.g., goal achievement levels) and external stimuli (e.g., new information or user interactions). This dynamic integration will enhance how ECAN manages attention and resources within the AGI, fostering more adaptive and context-aware behaviors.

  2. Integration with DAS (Distributed Atomspace): The proposed framework will store and manage motivational states within the Distributed Atomspace. This shared knowledge base will be crucial for tracking changes in motivation across different contexts and agents. Our goal is to ensure that motivational priorities can be continuously updated and synchronized, allowing AGI to operate effectively in dynamic and complex environments.

  3. MeTTa Language and Rule-Based Management: Leveraging the MeTTa language, we will express the logic and rules guiding AGI motivations. This enables flexible and complex motivation-driven behaviors within PRIMUS while allowing for clear definition and traceability of motivational priorities.

Use Cases and Scalability

Use Cases in Chatbots and Virtual Agents

We aim to demonstrate the framework’s adaptability by showcasing its application in chatbot systems and virtual agents within metaverse environments like Sophiaverse. Chatbots can utilize motivational layers to adjust interactions based on user sentiment and context, while virtual agents in a metaverse could adapt their motivations in response to immersive environmental factors.

Humanoid Robots and Multi-Agent Adaptability

For humanoid robots, our framework will enable motivational adjustments in response to physical states, external commands, and social contexts. The adaptability to dynamically changing scenarios ensures robots maintain contextually appropriate behaviors in real-time.

Ethical Alignment and Adaptability

The ethical alignment mechanism within our proposed framework draws from the consensus protocols embedded in ComplexChaos’s LCM architecture. By incorporating adaptive ethical guidelines, the framework will ensure that motivational priorities remain in alignment with human values and socially beneficial outcomes.

Roadmap and Milestones

Phase 1: Conceptual Specification and Initial Prototype (4 Weeks)

  1. Design and document the detailed motivational framework specification.

  2. Develop a limited-scope prototype focusing on a specific use case, such as chatbots or a virtual agent.

Phase 2: Integration with PRIMUS Components (8 Weeks)

  1. Establish integration points with ECAN, DAS, and MeTTa.

  2. Implement adaptive motivational adjustments and alignment protocols in collaboration with Hyperon’s architecture.

  2. Conduct detailed testing and validation to ensure adaptability and ethical alignment.

Team Competence and Experience

At ComplexChaos, we have extensive experience in designing systems that facilitate collective decision-making and consensus-building. Our work on the OneVoice platform and the Large Consensus Model Architecture demonstrates our capabilities in creating multi-agent systems with dynamic adaptability and ethical alignment. This expertise aligns closely with the requirements of this RFP  .

Conclusion

By leveraging our experience with collective intelligence and the modular architecture of OneVoice, ComplexChaos proposes a comprehensive and adaptable framework for integrating various motivational systems into AGI architectures. The proposed solution will enable AGI systems to dynamically adjust motivations, remain aligned with human values, and adapt to both human-like and alien digital intelligences. We look forward to collaborating with the SingularityNET Foundation and its partners to drive the development of beneficial and scalable AGI systems.

    No details provided

    "adaptability, ethical alignment, and the potential to support both human-like and alien intelligences". This sounds ok on a philosphical level however no details are given of how this is to be achieved. It seems merely a wish list without plan how to get there, and hence is not compatible with the RFP requirements.

    The proposal is to fit a variant of their Large Consensus Model decision framework onto Hyperon

    This is a somewhat interesting proposal but it's not made clear why this is really a comprehensive enough way to think about AGI motivation, nor what would be the step from this to a comprehensive way of thinking about AGI motivation. Although the integration suggested may well be worthwhile in itself...

    Mechanistic approach for *extrinsic* motivation

    The proposal is sound, yet it addresses a less interesting part of the motivational spectrum, respectively its focus is on designing frameworks that would keep the human "user" motivated via conversations with artificial agents (chatbots, robots) rather than developing a framework for intrinsic motivation that is needed for AGI. Extrinsic motivation frameworks are nothing new, given they are (unfortunately) quite successfully used by centralized social networks as well as by other addictive industries, including gaming. AGI requires a framework for the intrinsic motivation of intelligent agents to endow these with intent stemming from an inner drive to initiate action and create or co-create collectively. While the team has experience in collective intelligence, it is unfortunate that they chose to address the easy part of the motivational spectrum...
