The company believes its breakthrough can make current deep learning models more reliable and aligned with human goals. Verses' initiative was partly inspired by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's statement that another breakthrough is needed to push current AI models into the realm of AGI. The company asserts that it qualifies for OpenAI's assistance, as per OpenAI's charter, which commits to assisting any value-aligned, safety-conscious project that comes close to building AGI.
Key takeaways:
- Verses, an AI company, has erected a billboard outside OpenAI headquarters and published an open letter in The New York Times, expressing its interest in partnering with OpenAI to develop artificial generative intelligence (AGI).
- The company claims to have achieved a significant internal breakthrough in Active Inference, which could lead to the development of AGI, a form of AI that could match or outperform humans in virtually any cognitive task.
- Verses' breakthrough could help make current deep learning models more reliable, energy efficient, and aligned with human goals, according to the open letter.
- The company's initiative was partly inspired by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's statement that another breakthrough is needed to push current AI models into the realm of AGI.
