-A New Class of AI -- Navigation Map-Based Cog Architecture
In this paper a new class of artificial intelligence based on the mammalian brain is described. It does not function like an artificial
neural network nor like a large language model (LLM, e.g., ChatGPT) nor like a traditional symbolic AI program. Rather, it uses spatial navigation maps to represent the world, learn about the world
and operate on the world. This model provides a useful (i.e., supports the data) explanation of mammalian, primate and human brain evolution, operation and dysfunction. As well, it provides a
different path towards AGI than that provided by LLMs.

-An Analogical Inductive Solution to the Grounding
Problem
In this paper inductive analogical reasoning is shown to emerge due to a small modification
(corresponding to a modest mutation in a biological brain) giving the architecture vastly more power in solving day to day problems. In fact, analogies may power much of human cognition. At the same
time, this property allows more robust grounding of the architecture. Grounding of an AI with a real environment may be necessary to enable the realization of advanced and advantageous AI's and AGI's. Analogical reasoning allows grounding with more
advanced concepts.

2023:
Neural networks have a difficult time demonstrating compositionality (so do all mammals, except for humans). BICA*AI Conference 2023 presentation demonstrating how a cognitive
architecture based on the human brain (named the "CCA6") shows the mechanisms (at the level of the cortical minicolumn) that allow the modern human brain to be able to automatically perform causal reasoning, inductive analogical reasoning and compositional language processing. It is shown that
how with relatively few genetic modifications from the chimpanzee-human last common ancestor brain the human brain emerged with these properties (as
well as predicting the emergence of psychosis in humans). The Python software implementation of the equations behind the CCA6 is a straightforward one at present, but nonetheless, represents a very
different type of AI than traditional neural networks or large language models (e.g., ChatGPT). Like the human brain, the CCA6 can learn with minimal data and can learn in real time (it does not
require terabytes of data nor massive, off-line computer resources for learning). Like the human brain, the CCA6 is fully grounded.

-My work in AI is on cognitive architectures -- this is very different (and much less popular, less funding, less citations, etc) than what is known as modern "AI", i.e., machine learning of large data, large language models (e.g., ChatGPT), etc. I am knowledgeable but do not do work in those areas.
