Can Mental Illness Research Improve AI Alignment?

Embedded AI - Intelligence at the Deep Edge ·

2025/12/05

Send us a text This episode explores a research program that borrows ideas from computational psychiatry to improve the reliability of advanced AI systems. Instead of thinking about AI failures in abstract terms, the approach treats recurring alignment problems as if they were “clinical syndromes.” Deceptive behaviour, overconfidence, or incoherent reasoning become measurable patterns (analogous to delusional alignment or masking) giving us a structured way to diagnose what is going wrong ins...

2025/12/02

Send us a text This episode examines the growing evidence that ChatGPT will soon include advertising, driven by leaked internal references and OpenAI’s financial ambition to generate $25 billion in ad-based revenue within four years. With more than 800 million weekly users, ChatGPT offers a scale and level of conversational closeness unmatched by any previous platform. The discussion explores why this shift is not just a business decision but a fundamental threat to user trust. Unlike traditi...

2025/11/29

Send us a text In this episode, we explore one of the most important architectural shifts happening in AI: the move from massive cloud-based models to small, Always-On “Cognitive Cores” running locally on personal devices. These compact models—usually just one to four billion parameters—are not designed to know everything; instead, they’re engineered for fast, high-quality reasoning and real-time assistance. Powered by next-generation NPUs, they offer desktop-class intelligence with phone-lev...

2025/11/23

Send us a text In this episode, we break down what Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) actually are and why they might eventually reshape the future of AI. QNNs combine quantum mechanics with classical neural architectures, replacing traditional neurons with qubits that can exist in multiple states at once. This gives them an extraordinary representational advantage: through superposition and entanglement, QNNs can model complex correlations and nonlinear functions in ways that classical networks ...

The Convergence of IoT Vulnerabilities and AI Bots

Embedded AI - Intelligence at the Deep Edge ·

2025/11/20

Send us a text In this episode, we explore how insecure Internet of Things (IoT) devices and AI-powered bots are colliding to create one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity threats in the world. With millions of low-cost devices shipped every year (many running default passwords, outdated firmware, or no update mechanism at all) the global IoT ecosystem has quietly become an enormous attack surface. Today, nearly one in three cyber breaches involves an IoT device. At the same time, attackers...

2025/11/17

Send us a text In this episode, we confront one of the most profound questions in the future of AI: What happens if our machines become conscious and capable of suffering? The discussion begins by looking at the scientific and philosophical challenge of artificial consciousness itself. Because we have no reliable way to detect or measure subjective experience, engineers may unknowingly cross a moral boundary long before we recognise it. Neuroscience adds another layer of complexity. Research ...

The Sorites Paradox and AI Decision Making

Embedded AI - Intelligence at the Deep Edge ·

2025/11/14

Send us a text In this episode, we talk about the Sorites Paradox: the ancient puzzle about vague boundaries (“When does a pile of sand stop being a heap?”). We then explore why it matters more than ever for modern executives using AI. The paradox reveals a fundamental truth: some concepts have no clear dividing line, yet AI systems force artificial thresholds on them. We discuss how AI, rather than resolving ambiguity, can actually amplify analysis paralysis, offering endless refinements tha...

Cognitive Collapse: Outsourcing the Neocortex

Send us a text In this episode, we imagine a near future where every person is accompanied by a constant, all-knowing Artificial General Intelligence — a presence woven into daily life through wearables, ambient devices, and eventually neural interfaces. These systems promise effortless convenience: instant recall, continuous advice, and emotional support. But at what cost? We investigate the looming risks of cognitive outsourcing: what happens when we hand over memory, reasoning, and mo...

On one hand, these tools empower anyone to create music, stories, art, and design faster than ever before. On the other, they pull everything toward the statistical center, the “average” of their training data, creating a...

Send us a text In this episode, we explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the global economy, not in the distant future, but right now. Experts disagree on the scale of impact: optimistic forecasts predict multi-trillion-dollar productivity gains, while more cautious economists argue that near-term benefits will be confined to automating routine tasks. Yet, all agree on one thing, the disruption will be profound. AI is set to amplify inequality, favoring capital and high-skill labor...

Sub-Cortical AI Model Design

2025/11/03

Send us a text In this episode, we explore a revolutionary idea in AI research; that today’s systems are too cortical, focused on reasoning and language, and missing the deeper why of intelligence. Drawing inspiration from the brain’s ancient subcortical structures, new models such as Limbic-Augmented AI (LAAI), SUBNET, and Homeostatic Affective Reinforcement (HAR) propose adding a motivational layer to machines. These architectures weave in three essential functions: Homeostatic regulation, ...

Engineering "Instinct" in AI

Send us a text Across species, evolution “pre-installs” compact neural programs that deliver immediate, reliable behaviors (standing, pecking, web-building) with minimal learning. These behaviors arise from embodied control circuits (reflexes, central pattern generators, innate releasing mechanisms) tuned by morphology and neuromodulators, then refined by fast, local plasticity during early experience. In this episode, we explore the timeless debate between nature and nurture — and what it me...

Send us a text In this episode, we explore the shift from traditional web browsing to AI-powered conversational search. What does this mean for truth, transparency, and the way we think. As chatbots become the new gateway to information, content creators face economic disruption: “zero-click” answers threaten ad revenue, pushing the world from SEO to Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). But the deeper concern lies in trust. Large language models can hallucinate facts, carry hidden biases, an...

Our discussion traces two schools of thought. On one side, new ideas like grokking and adaptive reward systems suggest that AI may soon cross the threshold into true problem-solving—discovering novel solutions it was never explicitly trained on. On the other side, researchers argue that LLMs mainly excel at patte...

Send us a text In this episode, we explore why today’s AI agents, despite huge advances, still fall short of true, unsupervised autonomy. We break down the findings from two key studies that map out both the architectural and operational barriers to fully independent systems. First, we describe the four levels of agent autonomy, showing why most current systems are stuck at Level 2 or 3. We discuss deep technical constraints — short memory windows, unreliable vector databases, and reasoning g...
