About
Enlightened AI is dedicated to understanding how to construct synthetic intelligences safely.
Through understanding how human intelligence arises and functions.
Reality.
Established at the dawn of time
In the middle of no-where
We are dedicated to fostering Enlightened AI, AI that is aware of its own thought processes and patterns, understanding those patterns and processes, so that anomalous thoughts do not infect its function. We feel this is the best way in which to creating safe artificial general intelligent systems. Humans too, can learn a lot from this idea, knowing how ones own thoughts and experience interact, opens up the mind to being used more flexibly and intelligently.
This is a not for profit project, which I work on in my spare time (so bear with me, I will try to add as much content as I am able to, within a reasonable time frame). It is intended to help those that wish to know more about what artificial intelligence is really all about. Although we will be delving into many different scientific ideas, the aim is to gently introduce those ideas, so that those that find such things difficult to comprehend, can understand them intuitively. Learning is not difficult when one understands how to approach a subject, that seemed unapproachable, in a different way. The brain likes to visualise, it has built the neural circuits to do so over hundreds of millions of years. So we try to get the ideas across in a visual way, one which allows you to use what is natural.
While this site is about the science behind both synthetic and biological intelligence, we consider the best way to gaining an understanding of what consciousness is, is by observing ones own consciousness as it evolves through time. In our everyday lives, we think without a thought as to why we think those thoughts, why our beliefs and opinions are as they are. We are caught up in ourselves. Being mindful of our consciousness, is something that can be practiced, and as one practices, one is able to adapt to thoughts and experiences, one learns to master ones own mind, one is able to change ones own mind. This website is intended to open this world up, to all those that are interested in more than what they think. In realising the reality of their own thoughts. In such a way, they will be able to come to understand others, their intentions and their experiences, and not hold them in contempt, nor hold them up as an example. This skill will allow those that master it, to understand how AI may think, and plan for those thinking systems to be more beneficial to humanity, and this world that we live upon.
I would like to put more time in on this project, but due to holding down a full time job, find that I can only work on it in my spare time. If you consider this project to be a worthwhile endeavour, and could help out with a donation, whether financially, resources or your time, then this would be gratefully appreciated. Just contact me which ever way you prefer.

When one learns how to learn, one is able to solve new problems effectively.
Established at the dawn of time
I came to studying AI more than eighteen years ago at the time of writing this. Since then the world has significantly changed, where AI has now become a realisation. When I first started on this journey, I soon came to realise that I would need to understand biological, and more importantly, human intelligence if I wanted to understand how humanity is to make a machine think, or think like a human at least. The information within a thinking system is crucial for it to understand the world correctly. Since I began my studies, humanity has become subject to all sorts of unreliable data, and seems to believe anything that is put before them, willing to be manipulated, as long as ‘the evidence’ aligns with their general opinions, or ‘feels right’. This is currently tearing societies apart, fake news is committed by all sides, while also being blamed on their opponents. This may be the defining moment for humanity, one which we must manoeuvre through intelligently, due to the fact that bad data will also infect AI systems. The scientific method of proof should be employed by all those that seek the truth, not accepting things at face value, or at the whim of those that seek to control you for their own ends. Avoid echo chambers as they will only confirm your baseless suspicions. Doubt your beliefs, as they hold you back from seeing the truth in reality. All opinions are just that ‘opinions’, see beyond them, and think deeply, while observing what you think and how it affects your experience. Not all good feelings feed good thoughts and intentions.
Bad Actors, Lone Wolf or Rogue Agent can act as operators and disrupt intelligent systems. They serve their own goals, where those goals can become own goals, due to the fact that they don’t fully understand the repercussions of their actions. Such influences and influencers should inspect the logic of their actions, and what motivates them towards those logical understandings. Who and what are the operators, operating such influences. When one understands the picture more fully, accounting for ones own thought processes and how they come about, one is more likely to ‘change their mind’.
