The Mindplex Podcast Episode 6: How True AGI Will Transform the Global Economy
In this podcast Goertzel and Potapov, two of the key minds behind Opencog Hyperon and TrueAGI, dive into some of the deep tech behind their approach to AGI, and give an in-depth run-through of the new MeTTa programming language, which is used in Hyperon for both humans and AI algorithms to encode AI processes, and will also be used as a smart contract language in the HyperCycle ledgerless blockchain.
They also explain how humans and AGIs will be creating "specialized sublanguages within MeTTA, to support the different kinds of reasoning and learning that the AI needs to do,” such as:
- Sublanguages for various types of logical reasoning.
- Sublanguages for probabilistic programming.
A specialized sublanguage for interfacing with deep neural nets, which will play a key role in the initiative by TrueAGI and Zarqa to create neural-symbolic LLMs.
As Ben Goertzel explains, “The basic cognitive architecture behind Hyperon is similar to what we observe in the human mind, but instead of trying to imitate exactly how the brain does things, we fill in each module in the human mind’s architecture with a best-of-breed computer science algorithm carrying out that function.
The big differences between Hyperon and older versions of OpenCog are a more scalable implementation and easier interfacing between neural nets and other AI algorithms, and a deeper mathematical foundation that we’ve worked out in the last few years that allows us to express a variety of different AI algorithms as variations on the same small set of mathematical processes.”
OpenCog Hyperon is a modern redesign and reimplementation of the OpenCog AGI framework, intended to enable a scalable and easily usable implementation of the OpenCog algorithms and architecture on current CPU/GPU hardware and decentralized computer networks. It’s also specifically designed to allow close and high-speed interactions between neural models like LLMs and the symbolic-reasoning, evolutionary-algorithm, probabilistic-programming algorithms that OpenCog supports on its distributed Atomspace knowledge metagraph.
The TrueAGI application framework supports deployment of OpenCog Hyperon for business use, breaking new ground in AGI-as-a-service with APIs addressing practical needs across a variety of vertical markets.
As Ben and Alexey explain: “We’ve created the company TrueAGI to pursue commercial applications of OpenCog Hyperon across multiple domains. With an initial focus on partnering with large enterprises and with selected small companies on using Hyperon and TrueAGI technology to supply a new AGI back end to the software applications that run the critical parts of their business.
Everyone is talking about AGI now, which is exciting for those of us who’ve been in the field since forever, but there aren’t many others who have the combination of AGI R&D knowledge and practical AI application development experience to pull off what TrueAGI is doing.”
