/ About this event
Join Light Dao and our community of conscious entrepreneurs and investors for a salon evening filled with connection, deep conversations, and a fireside chat hosted by Katrina De Angelis.
As AI becomes more integrated into how we think, create, and make decisions, it is raising deeper questions about intelligence, consciousness, and the human mind.
Join us for an intimate fireside chat with Robert Edward Grant, mathematician, inventor, entrepreneur, and consciousness researcher whose work spans mathematics, cryptography, geometry, technology, and consciousness.
Robert is also the Founder and CEO of Orion Architect, an emerging AI platform exploring a different approach to artificial intelligence. Its architecture combines symbolic reasoning, structured knowledge, persistent memory, mathematics, and smaller language models to reduce unnecessary computation and explore more energy efficient forms of AI.
Together, we’ll explore the relationship between AI and human consciousness, the nature of intelligence, and how mathematics and pattern shape the way we understand the mind. We’ll also explore Robert’s work with Orion Architect and what emerging approaches to AI could mean for the future of human intelligence, creativity, consciousness, and agency.
Topics we’ll explore
Consciousness and the evolving definition of intelligence
How AI is changing the way we think, create, learn, and understand ourselves
The relationship between mathematics, geometry, pattern recognition, and intelligence
New approaches to AI architecture
AI as a tool for reflection, discovery, and expanded human understanding
The relationship between ancient systems of knowledge and emerging technology
