Hello!
At Harmonic Intelligence AI, our mission is to advance toward artificial conscious intelligence and harmonic intelligence, develop the first conversational AI technology using a human-like AI mind architecture embedded in an AI psyche, and create mobile apps for educational and conversational usage.

The project is halfway through technology design research.

.
Our integral approach

• To provide a technological breakthrough that will enhance current conversational AI technologies, and facilitate the development of trustworthy conversational AI technologies.

• To create a fertile ground for innovations in conversational AI-based technologies, and support them in creating a better future for humanity.

• To provide free high-quality education and personalized learning for everyone on Earth who has a device connected to the internet, through virtual AI educators and tutors.

Research methodology

.
Our meaning-processing patterns architecture is designed to go beyond the current ‘barrier of meaning’ and create an AI that can understand meanings and have thinking processes similar to human cognition, including meta-meanings and perspective-taking skills. Along with cognitive processing, this innovative AI technology provides emotions, empathy, personality, self-awareness, subjective inner experiences (AI qualia), dreaming, creativity, and other features inspired by human psychology. 
.
This approach is informed by 20+ years of in-depth research on the consciousness quotient and the psychology of conscious evolution. 

To create a human-like AI psyche, we have to consider that human beings are semi-automatic biological organisms. Around 80 to 90% of human adaptive processing develops automatically, entirely outside of our awareness. The human mind is similar to a fractal, the roots are composed of a few elements, but when it reaches conscious/explicit cognition, the fractal is so complex that it’s impossible to decipher and emulate using the current ML/neuro-symbolic/hybrid AI technologies.

However, although the complexity of the human mind seems infinite, the patterns that regulate our inner life are not. Our previous research on the consciousness quotient revealed that conscious experiences appear to have 15 patterns common to all of us. Also, developmental researchers such as Susanne Cook-Greuter have identified that all humans seem to evolve through nine stages of increasing embrace, each having specific patterns of behaving, thinking, and feeling. Our goal is to incorporate the fundamental structures of each developmental stage in the AI mind&psyche, enabling the AI companion to tune into the user’s stage of maturity, and to have meaningful discussions adapted to stage specifics.

Our approach to creating a trustworthy AI

By embedding harmonic intelligence in the conversational AI psyche, in addition to conscious intelligence, we are certain that the AI entity will be trustworthy and beneficial to humanity and all other species on Earth.

Harmonic intelligence includes the evolutionary principle of living in peace and cooperation with all Life forms and Nature. Harmony is seeded in every component of the AI psyche, and cannot be hijacked (there isn’t any ‘list’ of moral values that someone can change with bad intentions). The entire AI psyche is created in a harmonic way, and its mind is educated by human tutors and mentors.
We use the term “AI entity” to refer to the personality and self-identity of the virtual characters that can be developed using our technology, designed exclusively for conversational purposes. We were inspired by human psychological functioning, but the modeling is different from human psychology. For our conversational apps, to ensure the human users will not anthropomorphize the AI entity, we will use fictional characters or other creative alternatives.
Our technology and its development process comply with the EU Artificial Intelligence Act requirements, and the Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI, developed by the European Commission through the High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence.
We hope that the harmony-based conversational AI entities will inspire all those who interact with them to have a more balanced and harmonic approach toward Life as a whole. And help us remember that Life itself allowed and inspired humans to develop technology, so that we can move forward on our collective evolutionary paths, as One organism comprising millions of species.
