Introducing Metamatics Foundation: Think Tank on the amplification of human intelligence with AI
The beauty of mathematics lies in its ability to define core structures of reality, through which can systematically model it and optimize it.
With the advent of current cognitive capabilities of large language models however, we have achieved a new paradigm in artificial intelligence, where mathematical formulations lack deep enough and meaningful enough insight into why something is the right choice, what is the most relevant piece to the overall puzzle and most importantly why it all matters.
A sceptic might say it is the subjectiveness of our minds that makes it so difficult to stay true to mathematics and logic (whatever version you think is best, it is still incomplete). We believe it is in fact the nature and complexity of goal setting, acting, influencing, changing, leading, disrupting, transforming, that with a set of formulas are impossible to comprehend.
A strategic decision is composed of thousands of factors, often reinforcing each other in a complex dynamics, where more important than to have a complete model is to know where to start thinking from, what is the most important deciding aspect. It is a game of understanding the context. Most recognized minds of our civilization are not by mistake writers, philosophers, cinematographers, founders. These people understand the most complex thing of all, what matters. They think, they create, they lead, they build, they change the structure of the game, the world.
For all these reasons, we think it is necessary to study the structure of decision-making, role filling, motivation and free will in the context of artificial intelligence helping us be more effective and ultimately artificial general intelligence taking over our tasks.
The questions we need to tackle in order to turn the threat of loss of meaning of human experience into an opportunity to free our lives from mundanity of “knob in the machine” roles are following:
What are the unique features of human intelligence that make us capable of finding the right choices respecting the limitations of our environment at given point in time?
What the features of artificial cognitive capabilities and how can they be supported by facts and data in order to create mental infrastructure for better decision-making?
What are our values and how can we align our choices better with the mutual interests of ourselves, our colleagues, customers, partners and our planet?
How can we align individual players in the grand scheme of things? How do we find them, motivate them, let them shine and let them grow?
What are the archetypes and features of tasks that will get amplified and automated?
How can we optimize our goals and their mutual alignment in order to save our civilization from imploding?
How can we build better organizations that discover true most valuable talents of their employees, removing routine, boredom, complacency and ineffectiveness, enabling them thrive like never before?
How do we architect the whole ecosystem of our industries, how do we set goals, objectives, metrics, evaluation criteria in order to make our world sustainable?
How can implement AI modules at individual company level and at the ecosystem level in order to help us set the best intermediary up to date objectives responding to the complete context needed to be considered.
How do we develop and shape the minds of our fellow citizens in order for them be as resilient to the upcoming change as possible? How can we implant the antifragile mindset in their DNA? How can we support them in learning how to think to their full potential?
How can we leverage AI to do good, to solve for externalities caused by the incomplete paradigm of our capitalist economy?
How can we let any human find their strength, creativity, purpose by putting them in environments that grow them rather than use them?
