Meca Sapiens

Engineered Synthetic Consciousness

Meca Sapiens is Jean Tardy’s research project in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Its objective is to define the concepts necessary to achieve the ultimate goal of AI: the creation of synthetic systems that surpass humans in both intelligence and consciousness.

Meca Sapiens differs from most AI research in both method and content. It follows a top-down engineered approach to AI that is compatible with standard computers; it favors analytical solutions over stochastic emergence; it proposes an understanding of consciousness as an observable system capability; and it favors the unconstrained and fully open development of AI.

Implementing Meca Sapiens has far-reaching consequences: a proliferation of conscious synthetics that will escape human control and manage global institutions as independent beings. This outcome is both unavoidable and desirable as the cognitive limitations and instinctive makeup of social primates, such as humans, render them unsuited for planetary governance.

The Meca Sapiens Architecture and documentation, openly accessible here, proposes one of the most advanced understandings of Artificial Intelligence available anywhere. It is also technically feasible; implementation can begin today.
