While Machine Learning dominates today’s AI arena, its spectacular capabilities cannot lead to Common Sense and new approaches are needed.</p> <p>One basic precept is that adult-level common sense cannot be achieved without the underlying common sense of a child. Unfortunately, the abilities of a three-year-old, while necessary, are not commercially viable on their own—that’s which the FAI society is focused on them.</p> <p>While the FAI Society is technology-based, we also must address questions of how the human mind achieves its remarkable abilities:</p> <ul> <li>How to we know that objects persist and interact in a three-dimensional world?</li> <li>How do we comprehend the passage of time, cause-and-effect, and how our actions impact the world and ourselves?</li> <li>What parts of our common sense are “pre-programmed” and which are learned?</li> </ul> <p>These questions border on some of the fundamental philosophical issues of what makes us human. Solving these problems and answering these questions is what makes this the most exciting project on the planet!</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div id="fws_67425258cf073" data-column-margin="default" data-midnight="dark" class="wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row full-width-section" style="padding-top: 0px;

Simon</h2> </div> </div> <div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " > <div class="wpb_wrapper"> <p>As founder of the Future AI Society in 2023, Charles Simon has seen a period of extraordinary growth for Artificial Intelligence and with it the enormous potential for the underlying software technology of revolutionary algorithms that “<em>ADD</em> Common Sense to AI”. Much of the Society’s technology comes from the Future AI company which was selected for AI Time Journal’s list of “<em>Top Artificial Intelligence Companies to Watch in 2023″</em>. Located next to MIT in Cambridge and a MIT CSAIL Alliance Member, Future AI has the advantage of being near top science and technology influences as well as the opportunity for easy expansion.</p> <p>Charles, a Silicon Valley and venture-backed entrepreneur, founded Vectron Graphics, one of the world’s first CAD computing companies, and as a Microsoft alum was a Co-founder of Gift Certificates.com, successfully sold to AOL, a leader in online services. He has sold Commercial CAD Technology to the Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC), Harris Corp (now L3 Harris Technologies, defense contractor), NASA Ames Laboratory, and McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing). Also, he is noted for two AI systems and three generations of CAD.</p> <p>His broad management, startup, and combined development experience in neurological test equipment, CPUs, and artificial intelligence software makes him a uniquely qualified expert. He has a Master of Science in Computer Science and a Bachelor of Science in Electrical engineering. He attended the Harvard Institute for Quantitative Social Science Entrepreneurship and the Stanford University Business School AEA. Charles also has memberships in several High-IQ Societies and the Forbes Technology Council.</p> <p>He is the author of numerous published science books, articles, papers, and technical presentations. He received a 5-Star and a Notable Book Award for “<a href="/resources/books/">Will Computers Revolt</a>” and received a Microsoft Fellow Award Nomination. Also, he has been written about in <em>Newsweek</em> and other leading media.</p> <p>As an extreme sailor, in 2017 he was the Captain of one of only 15 sailboats in the world (as recorded by the University of Cambridge, UK, Scott Polar Research Institute), to Circumnavigate the North American Continent via the Arctic Northwest Passage Transit. Satellite-mapping was used to survey the route and a new channel was added in the Arctic Tasmania Islands, now named after Charles. He is also one of the few to additionally complete a sailing World Circumnavigation.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="comment-wrap " data-midnight="dark" data-comments-open="false">   </div> </div> </div> <div class="nectar-global-section before-footer"><div class="container normal-container row"> <div id="fws_67425258d0c1f" data-column-margin="default" data-midnight="dark" data-top-percent="5%" data-bottom-percent="2%" class="wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row full-width-section top_margin_50px" style="padding-top: calc(100vw * 0.05); padding-bottom: calc(100vw * 0.02); "><div class="row-bg-wrap" data-bg-animation="none" data-bg-overlay="false"><div class="inner-wrap"><div class="row-bg viewport-desktop" style=""></div></div><div class="row-bg-overlay" style="background:linear-gradient(80deg, rgb(25,9,48) 43%, rgba(52,24,87,255) 100%);"></div></div><div class="row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left"> <div class="vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone " data-padding-pos="all" data-has-bg-color="false" data-bg-color="" data-bg-opacity="1" data-animation="" data-delay="0" > <div class="vc_column-inner" > <div class="wpb_wrapper"> <div id="fws_67425258d0dc0" data-midnight="" data-column-margin="default" class="wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row inner_row" style=""><div class="row-bg-wrap"> <div class="row-bg" ></div> </div><div class="row_col_wrap_12_inner col span_12 left"> <div style=" color: #ffffff;" class="vc_col-sm-5 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col child_column has-animation no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone " data-cfc="true" data-padding-pos="all" data-has-bg-color="false" data-bg-color="" data-bg-opacity="1" data-animation="fade-in-from-left" data-delay="0" > <div class="vc_column-inner" > <div class="wpb_wrapper"> <div class="img-with-aniamtion-wrap custom-size margin_top_phone_-15pct " data-max-width="150%" data-max-width-mobile="default" data-shadow="none" data-animation="fade-in" style="margin-top: -25%; margin-left: -30%;"> <div class="inner"> <div class="hover-wrap" data-hover-animation="zoom"> <div class="hover-wrap-inner"> <img class="img-with-animation skip-lazy nectar-lazy" data-delay="0" height="337" width="556" data-animation="fade-in" data-nectar-img-src="https://futureaisociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/face-trans.png" src="data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20556%20337'%2F%3E" alt="Future AI: Technologies That Think" data-nectar-img-srcset="https://futureaisociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/face-trans.png 556w, https://futureaisociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/face-trans-300x182.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 556px) 100vw, 556px" /> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div style=" color: #f4f4f4;" class="vc_col-sm-7 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col child_column has-animation no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone " data-cfc="true" data-padding-pos="all" data-has-bg-color="false" data-bg-color="" data-bg-opacity="1" data-animation="fade-in-from-right" data-delay="0" > <div class="vc_column-inner" > <div class="wpb_wrapper"> <div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " > <div class="wpb_wrapper"> <h3><strong><span style="color: #63adf2;">The Future AI Society</span> is a new technology community founded by Silicon Valley entrepreneur, Charles J.
