The document proposes a new approach to artificial intelligence called Cognitive Mesh. It argues that modern AI approaches are outdated and discusses limitations such as lack of unsupervised learning, inability to mimic the brain, and lack of competition. Cognitive Mesh aims to address these issues using a blockchain-based, multi-agent system where artificially intelligent agents share an associative memory graph and compete economically. This is proposed to enable abstract concept creation, reflection, knowledge exchange, and an evolving self-organized system similar to human cognition and evolution.

COGNITIVE MESH as Artificial Intelligence 2.0
1. COGNITIVE MESH
as Artificial Intelligence 2.0:
Associative & Abstracting
Blockchain-based
Biologically-inspired
Competitive and Self-evolving

2. Modern approach to #AI has grown from
research of 1950s-60s and is outdated
➔ Supervised Learning
No ad hoc concept creation and
feature extraction without previous
knowledge
➔ Not a Brain
A brain region can’t mimic the whole
➔ Lack of Multiplicity
Leads to noncompetitive
development
➔ Enclosed
There is no reflection and cross-
agent knowledge exchange
MODERN
AI
IS
OUTDATED
6. INFORMATION TRANSFER:
● species exchanges genes via viruses
● cells emit chemical and electric signals
● animals communicate via mimics and emotions
● humans — via language
WHAT ABOUT #AI?
10. DIVERGING
Agents adapt to the
information given by adjusting
internal parameters
(like weights etc) with some
“noise salt”
11. BLOCKCHAIN OF
ABSTRACTIONS AND
ASSOCIATIONS (MEMORY)
Agents share results of their
cognition as symbols
(abstractions) and their
associations into a blockchain
of a “shared knowledge” and
memory.
Entries are signed by a
“proof of cognitive work”
12. REFLECTION
Abstract symbols in blockchain
represent a sort of “written
language”
Agents can reflect upon their
own cognitive work by
interacting with their previous
records in blockchain
13. COMPETITION
AND SELECTION
Agents “economically
compete” by their cognitive
efficiency employing internal
blockchain cryptocurrency
“paying” for the usage of
cognitive information from
each other in form of “smart
contracts”
14. BLOCKCHAIN WILL GIVE TO
MULTI-AGENT AI
the same thing that written language gave to humans:
MEANS OF
COGNITIVE EVOLUTION

16. CONSENSUS:
each agent gets the same
sense of a signal as others
– DNA translation will be the same for bacteria as for a human being
– written text is understood in the same way by all native speakers
https://medium.com/bica-labs/how-blockchain-relates-to-artificial-intelligence-f0111f39afc9
17. PERSISTENCE:
the sense of the signal does
not diminish with time
– DNA in chromosomes do not change during the live of the most cells
– Egyptian hieroglyphs could still be understood by researchers
18. BLOCKCHAIN
IS PERFECT BOTH FOR
CONSENSUS AND
PERSISTENCE
RENDERING MULTI-AGENT #AI AS AN
EVOLVING SELF-ORGANIZED SYSTEM
