🧮“Modelling a way to be in the world that will really help us” — That is how Philippe Beaudoin (LawZero, Waverly, Element AI, Google) generously describes what happens at B21.
Philippe shared one of his own ‘out-there’ ideas with the 2026 Mila - Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute - B21 Fellows earlier this year.
A ‘Phenomenal Alignment’ model of consciousness that rests on an inter-relational ontology, one that seems to dissolve the traditional hard problem and open up new possibilities of understanding 2nd order effects of AI.
EXACTLY the kind of idea that Building 21 believes should be nurtured, explored, stress tested, witnessed.
Safe to say, Philippe has found an intellectual home here 😄
