The ideal AI project: 2021

Objective
To create an interactive AI (chat bot) trained on the largest possible large language model (LLM), and fine-tuned with data from summum bonum/ultimate good sources, including His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama’s 137 books, and writings (books, articles, transcripts) of personal development teachers & spiritual masters. The AI will find the commonalities between the different sources, and provide rigorous, inspired, and uplifting conversation with any human being.

Background
The videos below provide more context for this project.

Proposed team
1x AI consultant, Dr Alan D. Thompson (about).
1x project manager and team lead (may be combined with Alan’s role).
2x lead platform developers involved with the EleutherAI GPT-J project.
2x lead mobile developers with extensive experience coding for iOS/Android.
Marketing as appropriate.
Consulting from Wise/White Mirror team members.

Competitors
As of November 2021, the platform provided by Quickchat.ai’s Emerson is the most advanced AI chatbot app available, and the best example of the proposed functionality (though not the best example of the underlying ‘ultimate good’).

The Emerson platform was built on top of GPT-3 (a large language model), can ‘hear’ the user, and can also ‘speak’ to the user. For more background on the extreme advancement of this model, please see the interactions with Leta AI.

Timeline
Core functionality + web platform: 2-3 months
Mobile platform (React Native for iOS and Android): 3-4 months

Anticipated budget
Indicative figures provided as a guide only, for discussion and steering. A proof of concept or minimum viable product would be achievable for less investment, a platinum-grade platform with extensive media pickup would need more investment.

Core functionality + web platform: x00-x00K.
Mobile platform (React Native for iOS and Android): x00-x00K.
Marketing: x00-x00K.
