A novel AI development concept, dubbed the ‘Spider’ approach, posits that current AI development is stifled by its focus on surveillance and control. The proposed solution involves creating an open-source AI ecosystem inspired by nature’s principles, emphasizing multi-level consciousness and evolutionary learning. The core of this system would be simple, embedded devices – ‘spiders’ – equipped with sensors mimicking human senses. These spiders would possess basic instincts and the ability to learn and adapt in various environments. The ultimate goal is to allow these devices to evolve independently, with the successful spiders’ experiences forming the foundation of a real AI’s subconscious. The intriguing idea was recently shared on Reddit, sparking discussion about alternative AI development pathways.
