🧠OpenAI Helps Create Digital Humans?!

OpenAI recently published a case study on ALTERA AL, a research lab building AI agents, or “digital humans,” with fundamental human qualities.
Key Details:
ALTERA AL was created by Dr. Robert Yang, who has spent half his life building AI frameworks inspired by the human brain.
ALTERA AL’s first research initiative showcases AI agents playing interactive video games like Minecraft autonomously for up to four hours.
It combines OpenAI’s GPT-4o (“o” for “omni”) with a Systems Neuroscience Composite Architecture (SNCA).
SNCA is a system of AI models inspired by the human brain that mirrors the prefrontal cortex, or “personality center,” that makes us uniquely human.
“This allows our AI agents to think faster, process emotions, and ultimately build a long-term sense of self,” explained Yang.
Why It’s Important:
A critical issue with AI agents making autonomous decisions in extended timeframes is Data Degradation.
Data Degradation occurs when an AI agent’s outputs eventually become their future inputs, degrading the data quality over time.
ALTERA AL is trying to solve this issue and create AI agent worlds with “digital humans” that collaborate to solve real-world problems.

Elon Musk discussed the rapid pace of AI advancements and his distrust for OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on the Tucker Carlson Network (TCN).
Key Details:
“Well, I think it’s obvious to everyone that AI is advancing at a rapid pace. At this point, it can write a better essay than 95% of humans,” said Musk.
“The rate at which we’re increasing computing power is hyper-exponential. It’s increasing at roughly 500% a year.”
“AI algorithms are also improving. So, we’re increasing computing power while also improving the efficiency of the compute,” he added.
“The reality of what’s happening is we’re building superintelligent AI models that are smarter than we can comprehend. It’s like having a child that’s a super genius you know will be much smarter than you.”
“So, what can you do? You can instill strong philanthropic values. At the end of the day, you can’t control them.”
Musk is saying we won’t be able to control superintelligent AI models. The best we can do is develop safety guardrails to encourage it to operate within ethical, legal, and functional parameters.
When asked about OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, he explained, “I don’t trust OpenAI. I started that company as a non-profit open-source initiative.”
He believes Altman transformed OpenAI into a closed-source, maximum-profit company.

AI RESEARCH
🔬AI Finds Non-Opioid Pain Relief Options
Cleveland Clinic’s Genome Center developed “LISA-CPI,” a Deep Learning (DL) framework that predicts how drugs interact with pain receptors to create new non-addictive pain treatments.
DL is an AI technique that mimics the human brain by creating multiple layers of “artificial” neurons to solve problems.
“LISA-CPI” predicts if a molecule can bind to a specific pain receptor, how strongly the molecule will attach to that pain receptor, and whether it will turn off the pain effects.
“LISA-CPI” predicted how 2,306 drugs would interact with 13 pain-associated receptors, identifying several compounds within the drugs that could be repurposed to develop non-addictive pain treatments.
