Qubic at the largest Ethical AI Conference - AI for Good, Geneva.

From July 7th to 11th, the beautiful city of Geneva hosted the AI for Good Summit, one of the yearly world’s top AI conferences. It’s the forum where institutions, researchers, companies, investors, and tech experts come together to discuss the AI that’s reshaping our world and best strategies to drive this innovation into solving real problems and improving our lives.

After four days listening to the latest trends in AI, it’s clearer than ever why Qubic matters. Our unique approach tackles the exact challenges industry leaders are talking about.

Take Yann LeCun (Meta’s Chief AI Scientist) as an example. He was blunt explaining today’s AI language models (LLMs) just predict words but they don’t understand the physical or social world. Why? Because without internal world models, they’re nothing like human cognition.

In fact, language isn’t the root of intelligence as even toddlers learn and adapt without words. Intelligence creates language, not the other way around.

Second example, from Meredith Whittaker (Signal CEO). She called out how "AI agents" (claimed as AI’s next big thing) rely on centralized infrastructure controlled by a few corporations that will have access to every single datapoint around us (If we let them!). She emphasized that Signal won’t add AI agents because they’d need access to very personal info, compromising people´s intimacy & rights. She's against a mass-surveillance app and proven that economic growth can't happen at any cost

We also heard from Geoffrey Hinton (AI pioneer and recent Nobel laureate). He nailed it: since LLMs learn from static data we need neuromorphic systems that mimic brain plasticity and AIs interacting with real environments. Hinton states that AI needs evolutionary goals like survival and curiosity.

Speaker after speaker stressed the need for trustworthy, transparent, open-source, and ethical AI.

Put it all together, and Qubic’s value shines. We’re building solutions for the industry’s biggest pain points.

On Thursday, Qubic scientific advisor David Vivancos took the stage to present his book Artificracy and explain Qubic’s role as a decentralized system for training future AGI. Talk by talk, meeting by meeting, we’re connecting with researchers, institutions, and attendees interested in what we’re doing.

AI’s potential is well known and applications are endless. We observed exoskeletons for mobility, elder-care robots, AI teachers for remote schools, real-time disaster mapping, climate prediction application, drug and vaccines discovery, protein research, longevity studies… But these demand massive computing power, scientific collaboration, transparency, and some sort of institutional independence. Qubic could…

That same day, we hosted "AGI for Good", a first exclusive networking and dinner event to launch our global scientific campaign to position Qubic in the edge of AI innovation and connect us to the brightest minds in the space. The director of Silicon Valley’s Computer History Museum, brain-computer interface experts from Toronto & Houston Universities, Qatari investors passionate about Qubic, human-machine interaction Japanese specialists, advocates for accessible AI not controlled by Big Tech, and San Francisco bay advisors to projects like xAi or Open AI.

Our event walked attendants over three main topics: distributed consensus, virtual cognition and AiGarth

Qubic Strategic Advisor, Daniel Díez García, walked everyone through the link between crypto & AI, focusing on how decentralization and distributed governance addresses most of the current AIs limitations for neutrality and scalability, while using mechanisms that has proven to be successful for the last decade in recruiting massive amounts of computational power, such as Bitcoin, with a new new utility (training AI) for winning the race of acquiring the largest amount of computational power through Qubic's uPoW technology.  

Dr. Jose Sánchez guided attendees into a definition on what intelligence is, and what cognitive pathways can or cannot be replicable by AI, to illustrate our current research line for further understanding the limitations and best practices that are happening in the neuroscience space, and then integrating them into our vision and technology.

David Vivancos complemented this challenge by complementing on the incoming Neuroaxon scientific publication on how we can replicate human intelligence through evolutionary models and Qubic´s massive computational power for creating the most valuable AI technology on earth.

The crowd was fired up. They were asking brilliant questions, suggesting ideas, and showed real interest about both understanding more and joining the project.

One attendee (Singapore’s Government AI Rep) asked: "Why did you gather us here?" Our response was simple: to connect experts, recruit talent, attract investors and open our community to the world most prominent minds to join our mission of creating a true, ethical AGI.

Some might think Qubic’s too early-stage for events like this. But being here proves our point. By attracting top minds that were sapient on AI but yet not familiar with crypto gives our project credibility and unlocks applications, contacts, and use cases we’d never find otherwise.

We can’t stop now. Pulling this off takes serious help – time, stability, and people to foster relationships, build and debate science, connect communities, gather talent, develop solutions or create publications.

Qubic isn’t simple. It takes patience to explain what it is, how it works, and how it solves the bottlenecks leaders like LeCun and Whittaker highlighted.

Thank you so much to our community and Computors for your support.

This marks the first post in a new movement dedicated to elevating the voices and ideas of the brightest minds in the AGI race. We’re calling it AGI for Good, and you can expect a new post every Friday at 12 PM CET.

We are committed to working steadily to spread the work about our scientific research & alien technology, bring the best in class people, most innovative companies, investors that support our vision, and most advanced projects into Qubic.

We’re not just advisors, we’re scientific ambassadors too.

And that's worthy.

¡Thanks! Jose, David & Dani
