Ben Goertzel on DeepSeek And The Path To AGI

In this video, Dr. Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET, TrueAGI and the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI Alliance), analyzes DeepSeek LLM as an efficiency advancement rather than an AGI breakthrough. The model’s open-source implementation and technical architecture (mixture of experts and multi-token training) improve accessibility while maintaining performance. This development demonstrates the continued democratization of AI capabilities and may redirect industry focus toward alternative computing architectures and decentralized systems.

SingularityNET was founded by Dr. Ben Goertzel with the mission of creating a decentralized, democratic, inclusive, and beneficial Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). An AGI is not dependent on any central entity, is open to anyone, and is not restricted to the narrow goals of a single corporation or even a single country.

The SingularityNET team includes seasoned engineers, scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs, and marketers. Our core platform and AI teams are further complemented by specialized teams devoted to application areas such as finance, robotics, biomedical AI, media, arts, and entertainment.

Generalizing Safety Beyond Collision-Avoidance via Latent-Space Reachability Analysis

Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) reachability is a rigorous mathematical framework that enables robots to simultaneously detect unsafe states and generate actions that prevent future failures. While in theory, HJ reachability can synthesize safe controllers for nonlinear systems and nonconvex constraints.

In practice, it has been limited to hand-engineered collision

Avoidance constraints modeled via low-dimensional state-space representations and first-principles dynamics. In this work, our goal is to generalize safe robot controllers to prevent failures that are hard—if not impossible—to write down by hand, but can be intuitively identified from high-dimensional observations:

Google Launches Gemini 2.0 Pro LLM

In today’s AI news, Google launched its much-anticipated new flagship AI model, Gemini 2.0 Pro Experimental, on Wednesday. The announcement was part of a series of other AI model releases. The company is also making its reasoning model, Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking, available in the Gemini app.

In other advancements, LinkedIn is testing a new job-hunting tool that uses a custom large language model to comb through huge quantities of data to help people find prospective roles. The company believes that artificial intelligence will help users unearth new roles they might have missed in the typical search process.

Compact camera can identify objects at the speed of light

Collaboration can be a beautiful thing, especially when people work together to create something new. Take, for example, a longstanding collaboration between Arka Majumdar, a University of Washington (UW) professor of electrical and computer engineering and physics, and Felix Heide, an assistant professor of computer science at Princeton University.

Together, they and their students have produced some eye-popping research, including shrinking a camera down to the size of a grain of salt while still capturing crisp, clear images.

Now, the pair is building on this work, publishing a paper in Science Advances that describes a new kind of compact camera engineered for computer vision—a type of artificial intelligence that allows computers to recognize objects in images and video.

Encrypted optical information in nonlinear chaotic systems uncovered using neural networks

Optical information encoded in holograms is transferred by means of ultrashort laser filaments propagating in highly nonlinear and turbulent media. After propagation, the initial optical information is completely scrambled and cannot be retrieved by any experimental or physical modeling system. Yet, we demonstrate that neural networks trained on experimental data provide a robust way to fully recover the original hologram images. Remarkably, our approach demonstrates the ability to decode intricate spatial information, marking a significant advancement in information retrieval from chaotic media, with applications in secure free-space optical communications and cryptography.
