The SubThought AI Studio was developed as an artificial intelligence software product workspace based on the “Premise” programming language, invented by Michael S.P. Miller. The Premise language was designed to make building an artificial intelligence applet (i.e. “mind”) easier from a very practical and computational standpoint.
There have been philosophical debates about what constitutes a mind and whether specific attempts at building a mind have biological or psychological validity. In the context of this software product, a “mind” is simply a process that receives stimuli and produces actions. There are some interesting design patterns, data structures, and algorithms that are explored along with this definition. (For example, the sensory perception module is involved in accepting external stimuli and coping with emotions.)
To build a mind applet, the Premise language emphasizes the “diversity” of the mental model first. It is assumed that the AI mind is composed of distinct phenomena such as daydreaming, deliberation, and learning, which can be replicated to some extent by cognitive system design patterns composed of diverse specialized modules.
Ultimately, some AI modules may be designed to fulfill a particular purpose, while some of these AI modules may be common to multiple phenomena.
This (POC) Proof of Concept demo was only intended as the initial user interface blueprint of the SubThought AI workspace (based on the Premise Programming language). I recommended that the client should also consider building a related marketplace website & social media “hub” that would allow developers to exchange their AI ideas, communicate more efficiently, and sell their AI products… all in one centralized digital ecosystem.
