@CIMCAI
We are looking for a highly creative research engineer intrinsically motivated to contribute to and advance our mission. Job link below
- We’re deeply honored to welcome @jim_rutt as Chairman of CIMC’s Board. Jim has a rich, storied past, which led him from MIT to pioneering roles in the development of the internet -- serving as CEO of Network Solutions, CTO of Thomson Reuters; and later, as Chairman of the Santa
- Call for Research Proposals in Machine Consciousness After some months of incubation, the California Institute for Machine Consciousness (CIMC) is now ready to onboard researchers exploring the fundamental nature of the mind through computational approaches. We've been quietly
- Our Machine Consciousness Salon is very special this week: On Thursday, we are celebrating the inauguration of CIMC in the @internetarchive in SF, in a discussion with @stephen_wolfram and @Plinz: What would it be like to have a bigger brain?
- We are looking for a research engineer. This would be a critical role within CIMC, involving an opportunity to shape new research programs spanning our focus areas: formalizing strange loops, self-organizing learners, foundation-model phenomenology, embodied simulation, and
- We are at the 18th Annual AGI Conference (AGI-25), a premier global event for general machine intelligence research. Thank you to @SingularityNET and AGI Society for organizing this event.
- Last week we hosted 3 days of events to mark our official launch. Huge thanks to everyone who joined - your presence and support means a lot; and to all teams, beings, and supporting organizations who contributed to making this event happen. @Plinz @newtonlaw @louviq @zhentan
- The CIMC has launched its newsletter. This inaugural edition is special as it marks the beginning of the institute: Inside, you'll find videos of talks, discussions, salons, and art performance from the launch event with: - @Plinz - Karl Friston @KarlFristonNews -
- This is one of the latest podcasts with Joscha Bach, recorded live during NAT'25, the conference dedicated to Neuroadaptive Technology in Berlin, Germany. @thomasramge, the host, engages @Plinz in a conversation about whether artificial intelligence can develop consciousness,
- What if we had bigger brains? Inaugural Salon at the @internetarchive where @stephen_wolfram and @Plinz discussed what it would be like to transcend the boundaries of our brains.
- How would we test for consciousness? @Plinz and @louviq interview our scientific advisor Christoph von der Malsburg. youtu.be/PDo0tnJPQSI
- At AGI25, we are co-organizing a workshop on machine consciousness. See @plinz on ways to detect artificial consciousness:
- CIMC is honored to welcome Karl Friston, a foundational figure in neuroscience, as a scientific advisor. Without Karl Friston, neuroimaging analysis would potentially be different. He invented statistical parametric mapping (SPM), voxel-based morphometry (VBM), and dynamic
