Artificial intelligence, Semantic code, Collective intelligence, Information Economy MetaLanguageAbstract
The goal of this essay is to present an overview of the limitations of contemporary AI (artificial intelligence) and to propose an approach to overcome them with a computable semantic metalanguage. I propose that AI adopts a computable and univocal model of the human language, the Information Economy Metalanguage (IEML), a semantic code of my own invention. IEML has the expressive power of a natural language and the syntax of a regular language. This can open new avenues for Artificial Intelligence to create a synergy between the democratization of data control and the enhancement of collective intelligence.
