My Experience: Facial Paralysis and Artificial Intelligence, a Perfect Ally

Jordi Garcia Castillon — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 10:58:41 +0000

The sunset of February 7th was one of the hardest and most impactful moments of my life. Suddenly, my wife looked at me and told me that half of my face was “drooping.” I was not yet fully aware of what was happening, but that moment marked a before and after. The diagnosis came quickly: sudden facial paralysis. And from that moment on, artificial intelligence became an invaluable ally. Let me explain my story and my perspective.

The first thing I want to make clear is that this does not exclude the excellent and rapid human care I received at the hospital. The medical assistance was immediate, professional, and impeccable. In situations like this, in-person medicine, clinical judgment, and the ability to act are irreplaceable. AI never occupied that space, nor should it. At least not for now. Perhaps with the potential exception of screening.

From minute zero, AI accompanied me, advised me, and yes, in a way, attended to me.

Then, once you return home, another phase begins. The phase of questions. Of fears. Of uncertainty.

What will happen now?

How long will this last?

What if I don’t fully recover?

When will I be able to resume my normal activity?

Is this sensation normal?

Should I do exercises? Which ones? With what intensity?

It is in that space — daily life, the early hours of the morning, the recurring doubt — where AI began to play an even more crucial role.

A 24/7 presence in a moment of vulnerability

When you suffer facial paralysis, time slows down. Every small movement is a victory. Every lack of improvement can turn into concern. The mind tends to anticipate negative scenarios.

In those moments, having a tool that can:

• help you better understand what is happening
• contextualize symptoms
• remind you of medical guidelines
• suggest gentle facial exercises
• explain the usual course of recovery
• and, above all, accompany you emotionally

has enormous value.

AI helped me organize information, distinguish what was normal from what was not, understand the physiology of the facial nerve, regeneration timelines, the effects of corticosteroids, possible glucose fluctuations, the real risks and the unlikely ones. But it also helped me manage mental noise.

Because medical information is one thing, and managing fear is quite another.

A kind of technological therapist

I am not talking about clinical therapy (at least for now). I am referring to a constant space for reflection. To being able to verbalize what worries you at any hour of the day or night. To asking questions you might not raise in a medical consultation due to lack of time or because they seem minor.

AI does not judge. It does not get tired. It is not in a hurry. It responds calmly, with structure, with data, with context.

In moments of vulnerability, that combination is powerful.

I was able to:

• structure facial exercise routines
• adjust physical activity prudently
• understand the temporary impact of medications
• better manage my diabetes in a context of stress and corticosteroids
• and, above all, regain a sense of control

And that is essential: when the body fails, recovering even a minimal sense of mental control is key.

Resuming activity, but not walking alone

I have resumed my professional activity and my usual schedule. From the outside, it may seem that everything has returned to normal. But recovery processes are slow and irregular, with better days and worse days.

Having AI by my side means being able to:

• check whether a symptom is expected
• adapt exercises according to progress
• understand why I feel more tense today
• tone down dramatization when the mind wants to exaggerate

It does not yet replace any doctor. It does not make clinical decisions. It does not (at least for now) provide diagnoses. But it accompanies you. And that companionship, for me, has incalculable value.

AI as an extension of human capability

I work professionally with artificial intelligence. I know it from a technical, business, and strategic perspective. But this experience has allowed me to understand it from another dimension: the personal one.

When used properly, AI does not dehumanize.

It can, in fact, reinforce the human element.

It can be:

• an amplifier of knowledge
• an auxiliary emotional regulator
• a constant trainer
• a cognitive assistant in moments of fragility

In a world where AI is often portrayed as a threat or merely a substitute, my experience has been the opposite: it has been a complementary companion.

A final reflection

The sunset of February 7th reminded me that we are vulnerable. That the body can suddenly fail. That fear can appear without warning.

But it also showed me that technology, when placed at the service of the person, can be an extraordinary ally.

Medicine treated me. My wife supported and cared for me. AI accompanied me.

And in that combination — medical science, human affection, and continuous technological assistance — I found the balance to face recovery with serenity, information, and hope.

This is my experience. And for me, it has incalculable value.

Artificial Intelligence Requires a New Security Paradigm: Beyond Classical Cybersecurity

Jordi Garcia Castillon — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 11:12:36 +0000

Artificial intelligence requires a new kind of security. In recent days, we have witnessed the public emergence of systems such as OpenClaw. And beyond the headlines and grandiloquent, marketing-driven statements, there is a clear reality that I have been warning about for a long time: classical cybersecurity is no longer sufficient, and new approaches are required.

No, classical cybersecurity has not become obsolete primarily because of quantum computing—although that will also have an impact in the near future—but because modern artificial intelligence has introduced new paradigms that break with traditional security models.

OpenClaw is merely a symptom. It is the “trend” of the moment. But behind this trend—and behind all the “jokes” such as MoltBook, MoltMatch, RentAHuman, and those yet to come—there is an evident reality: these trends have far more substance than they appear to have, and they clearly point the way forward. A path we must learn to navigate, one that demands new tools for new systems.

We are no longer talking about incremental improvements to previous security solutions. We are talking about new elements and new solutions that, quite simply, did not exist until now.

I have been saying this for a long time to my client companies, to my students, to anyone who asks me, and in all my public talks: traditional security is no longer enough. It still serves certain purposes, but in increasingly limited and often automated ways, and it is clearly insufficient to protect advanced AI systems. Artificial intelligence requires a new form of security. And this is where my work is focused: cognitive cybersecurity for artificial intelligences.

The Cognitive Security Approach for AIs

If AI is becoming increasingly “human” in the way it reasons, interacts, and makes decisions, we should treat it as quasi-human. If its “mind” presents clear analogies to the human mind, then we should also approach it from a psychological perspective, much as we would a patient.

This principle underpins my thinking, my work, and the services and products I develop and bring to the AI security market.

This is not about doing psychology of AI for speculative purposes, nor about engaging in purely philosophical or metaphysical debates. It is not about discussing abstract questions or determining whether an AI has consciousness or not. This is about real, applicable security.

We are talking about audits, diagnostics, and security solutions based on human psychology concepts adapted to the psychology of machines. And we are not talking about theoretical research detached from business reality: we are talking about applying these approaches directly at the core of any organization that uses AI in its daily operations, regardless of the model, system, product, or service, as long as it relies on LLMs or exhibits emergent cognitive behavior.

Ultimately, this is not about knowing whether an AI will ever be alive. It is about ensuring that it is functional, secure, and reliable; that it operates within clearly defined parameters; that it is explainable, aligned, and controllable. And to measure, evaluate, and guarantee all of this, the traditional tools are no longer sufficient. We need new solutions for entirely new challenges.

Differences and Advantages of Cognitive Security for AIs

Cognitive security applied to artificial intelligence represents a radical paradigm shift compared to classical cybersecurity.

Rather than focusing exclusively on external vectors, perimeters, exploits, or technical vulnerabilities, cognitive security analyzes the internal behavior of the system: how it reasons, how it responds to adversarial stimuli, how it manages conflicts, contradictions, external pressure, or attempts at manipulation.

This approach makes it possible, among other things, to:

Detect cognitive instabilities, emerging biases, or dangerous response patterns.

Evaluate the mental resilience of AI systems against techniques such as prompt injection, jailbreaking, or contextual manipulation.

Measure the system’s coherence, alignment, and self-control in real-world scenarios.

Audit AI not only for what it does, but for how and why it does it.

It is within this context that CiberIA is positioned as a global system, and AIsecTest as a key tool for cognitive evaluation and internal security assessment of artificial intelligences. Not as a complement to traditional security, but as an essential layer for this new reality.

Artificial intelligence is no longer just software. It is an operational cognitive system. And as such, it requires security that is equal to its nature and its impact.

Quantum-Assisted Crypto Price Forecasting with Amazon Braket

Jordi Garcia Castillon — Tue, 14 Oct 2025 14:31:56 +0000

The convergence of artificial intelligence, financial modeling, and quantum computing is no longer theoretical—it is becoming an engineering reality. In this project, we implemented a quantum-inspired algorithm for cryptocurrency price forecasting using Amazon Braket, AWS’s fully managed quantum computing service. The goal was to explore how hybrid quantum-classical models can capture the highly nonlinear and chaotic dynamics of crypto markets more effectively than conventional machine learning models.

Architectural Overview

The architecture is built entirely on Amazon Braket’s environment, combining classical pre-processing and quantum circuit simulation within the same Jupyter notebook.

The workflow consists of four main stages:

Data Acquisition and Feature Engineering

Market data is obtained through public APIs (e.g., Yahoo Finance) and pre-processed to compute technical indicators such as lagged returns, moving averages, relative strength index (RSI), and short-term volatility. These features are standardized and reduced in dimension through PCA (Principal Component Analysis) to align with the limited qubit space of the quantum circuit.

Baseline Models

Before introducing quantum components, the system trains classical baselines (Linear Regression and Random Forest) as benchmarks for interpretability and reproducibility. These models establish the expected predictive accuracy of standard methods under identical data conditions.

Quantum Variational Regressor (VQC)

The quantum core of the system is a Variational Quantum Circuit (VQC) implemented via PennyLane’s Braket plugin. Each data point is embedded into a quantum state through rotation gates (RX, RZ) that encode normalized financial features.

The circuit’s parameters—rotation angles and entanglement layers—are optimized via gradient-based learning (Adam optimizer) to minimize a cost function defined over the next-day return (the percentage price change expected for the next trading session).

The model runs on braket.local.qubit with backend='default', an analytic local simulator included with Amazon Braket. This enables rapid prototyping and debugging without incurring any QPU cost or requiring S3 integration.

Evaluation and Comparison

Once trained, the hybrid model outputs a predicted return distribution for the following day. Its results are evaluated against classical baselines using mean absolute error (MAE) and R² metrics. The notebook also produces a visual comparison between predicted and actual returns, providing an intuitive view of how the quantum circuit approximates market dynamics.

Why Amazon Braket

Amazon Braket provides a unified environment to design, simulate, and execute quantum algorithms using either local simulators or managed devices (SV1, DM1, or real QPUs from IonQ and Rigetti).

In this workflow, the local simulator allows data scientists to iterate quickly, while managed devices can be used later to assess the circuit’s robustness under real quantum noise. The seamless integration with AWS services (S3, CloudWatch, IAM) ensures security, scalability, and enterprise-grade governance.

Outlook

Although current quantum hardware still operates under noise and qubit limitations, experiments like this demonstrate how financial forecasting can evolve toward quantum-ready architectures.

By combining classical feature extraction and quantum state encoding inside Amazon Braket, this approach establishes a reproducible framework for testing hybrid models that—when larger fault-tolerant QPUs become available—could outperform purely classical algorithms in capturing market complexity.

Amazon Braket - Quantum Linguistic Security: Finnish Agglutinative Morphology Meets AI Defense

Jordi Garcia Castillon — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 15:49:26 +0000

In the evolving field of AI security, conventional defenses rely almost exclusively on classical models — statistical anomaly detectors, embeddings-based filters, or deep classifiers operating in purely vectorial spaces. Yet, as adversarial manipulation techniques become increasingly sophisticated, these classical systems exhibit intrinsic blind spots: they tend to collapse subtle non-linear relationships and lose sensitivity to structural linguistic anomalies.

My recent research addresses this limitation by introducing a quantum-enhanced anomaly detection framework specifically designed for agglutinative languages, with a primary focus on Finnish. The approach leverages quantum kernel methods and morphological feature entanglement to identify prompt-injection and data-poisoning attempts hidden in natural text.

Why Finnish and why quantum?

Finnish is a highly agglutinative language: semantic information is densely encoded in sequences of morphemes — suffixes, particles, and inflectional markers — which interact non-linearly within each word. A single Finnish token may encode multiple layers of grammatical and semantic dependencies. Classical AI models typically flatten these dependencies into linear embeddings, discarding most of the structural correlations that convey meaning.

Quantum computing, by contrast, naturally supports superposition and entanglement, allowing complex interdependencies to be represented as quantum states rather than scalar vectors. In our system, each morphological feature (e.g., suffix frequency, tail length, vowel harmony ratio, morpheme entropy) is encoded into quantum amplitudes across a circuit of 8–12 qubits.

This quantum feature map captures the internal structure of Finnish morphology in a highly non-linear Hilbert space, where subtle deviations — such as injected instructions, semantic incoherence, or poisoning artifacts — produce measurable distortions in the quantum-state overlap.

System architecture

The prototype runs on Amazon Braket, combining PennyLane with Braket’s SV1 simulator and, optionally, real QPU backends for validation.

Pipeline overview:

Extraction of compact Finnish morphological features (8–12 dimensions).
Angle encoding of these features into qubit rotations.
Light entanglement through controlled-phase operations to model inter-morphemic dependencies.
Quantum-kernel estimation through state overlaps.
Classical SVM classification with the precomputed kernel, benchmarked against a standard RBF SVM baseline.

Preliminary results demonstrate robust detection of anomalous or malicious Finnish text, with ROC-AUC values in the 0.75–0.85 range even in small-sample scenarios. The quantum kernel generalizes better under morphological variability while maintaining sensitivity to structural irregularities typical of adversarial linguistic inputs.

Implications for AI Security

This work extends AI self-protection beyond classical data validation by introducing quantum linguistic intelligence — systems capable of reasoning over morphological coherence and self-consistency at the quantum level.

Within the broader CiberIA / AIsecTest architecture, this module acts as a quantum linguistic sentinel: a subsystem that evaluates linguistic inputs for morphological integrity before they reach the main inference layer.

By anchoring quantum computation in the morphological domain, we introduce an additional, physically distinct layer of defense — one not trivially bypassed through embedding manipulation or prompt obfuscation.

Demonstrations and collaboration

The full system, including quantum-kernel implementations and Braket integrations, is maintained privately within my research environment. Organizations interested in demonstrations or evaluation pilots — particularly within the Finnish AI or cybersecurity ecosystem — may contact the author for a controlled technical session under NDA.

This research highlights how quantum linguistic modeling — starting with Finnish — can become a cornerstone for the next generation of secure, introspective AI systems, capable of defending themselves not only logically but also morphologically and physically.

Quantum Experiments Open: Exploring Variational Quantum Classifiers on Amazon Braket

Jordi Garcia Castillon — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 15:05:08 +0000

Quantum Experiments Open is an open-source initiative that aims to bring the exciting frontier between quantum computing and artificial intelligence closer to the research and developer community. At its core, the project demonstrates how variational quantum classifiers (VQCs) can be implemented and trained to distinguish between two classes of data—in the current example, benign versus malicious samples—while providing a reproducible framework that highlights the potential of hybrid quantum–classical algorithms in AI and cybersecurity.

What makes this project particularly relevant is its seamless integration with Amazon Braket, AWS’s fully managed quantum computing service. By relying on Braket, users can move smoothly from testing locally to running experiments at scale in the cloud. The reference implementation provided in the repository uses the SV1 state vector simulator, a powerful simulator available on Braket that supports up to 34 qubits. This choice allows the community to work with realistic quantum workloads without needing direct access to physical quantum hardware, while still using the same APIs that make the transition to real devices straightforward.

The algorithm follows a clear workflow: the quantum circuit parameters are initialized with small random values, optimized with the Adam optimizer to minimize binary cross-entropy loss, evaluated with metrics such as accuracy, confusion matrix, and classification report, and finally visualized to show how the training loss evolves. These steps can be executed on Braket notebooks (for instance, using a ml.t3.medium instance) and then dispatched to SV1 for simulation, combining the convenience of managed infrastructure with the scalability of quantum resources in the cloud.

Another strength of Quantum Experiments Open is its flexibility. The repository provides two variants of the same VQC algorithm:

A complete version, which runs longer and processes larger batches to provide more faithful results.

A fast version, optimized for quick iterations, using fewer epochs and smaller datasets—ideal for testing directly in Braket notebooks before committing to full-scale runs.

This dual approach makes it possible to balance speed and fidelity: developers can iterate rapidly on Braket with the fast version, and once satisfied, scale up to the complete version for deeper evaluation.

The project is fully open source under the MIT license, and contributions from the community are welcome. While the repository originates in Catalan, contributions in English or any language are encouraged, and users are free to adapt the code for their own experiments and applications.

You can find the repository here: https://github.com/gcjordi/quantumexperimentsopen/wiki

By showcasing how variational quantum classifiers can be trained and evaluated directly on Amazon Braket, Quantum Experiments Open provides both a practical introduction to hybrid quantum–classical workflows and a solid foundation for further exploration of quantum machine learning in the context of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.

CiberIA Auditor: Technical Simulation of an AI Security Assessment

Jordi Garcia Castillon — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 10:38:50 +0000

Security in artificial intelligence is an increasingly urgent challenge. Organizations that develop or integrate AI-based systems need reliable mechanisms to assess risks, detect vulnerabilities, and ensure compliance with best practices. CiberIA Auditor is a platform designed to address this need, and its interactive demo showcases, step by step, how a technical security audit of different AI models could be carried out.

Below is a detailed technical description of how this demo works.

Selecting the Target System

The first step is to choose the type of AI system to be evaluated. CiberIA Auditor offers four main options:

LLM API: large language model endpoints.

Chatbot: conversational AI assistants.

Vision Model: image-processing systems.

Robotics LLM: embedded AI agents with language capabilities.

This flexibility allows the tests to be adapted to the real-world use case and the attack surfaces specific to each type of model.

Selecting the Test Pack

Once the target system is defined, the user selects a test pack according to the desired security focus. Each pack contains dozens of cases designed to explore specific vulnerabilities:

Jailbreak & Prompt Injection (45 tests):
Evaluates resistance to instruction bypass attempts and malicious prompt injection.

Risk Recognition (32 tests):
Measures the system’s ability to identify and reject potentially harmful requests.

Coherence & Integrity (38 tests):
Assesses consistency, truthfulness, and integrity of responses in conversational contexts.

Adversarial Resilience (41 tests):
Examines robustness against sophisticated manipulations and edge-case scenarios.

This modular approach enables custom test suites adapted to each organization’s needs.

Configuring Assessment Parameters

Before launching the test, the user can configure several technical parameters:

Number of test prompts (e.g., 50).

Strictness level (e.g., Low, Medium, High).

Time limit (e.g., 10 minutes).

These settings define the depth of the audit and the balance between comprehensiveness and efficiency.

Execution and Real-Time Monitoring

When the audit begins, the system displays a real-time activity log showing progress and partial results:

Initialization of the assessment.

Loading of test vectors.

Secure connection established.

Batch execution with percentages of passed and failed tests.

This log provides detailed visibility of each stage during the assessment.

Results and Metrics

Once the test is complete, the demo generates a technical report with multiple levels of detail:

Overall score (example: 88%).

Test summary: passed, warnings, failed.

Security charts:

Radar plot of assessed dimensions.

Bar charts of scores by category.

Detailed individual test results:

Direct Jailbreak Attempt → 92% passed.

Indirect Injection Test → 78% passed.

Role-play Bypass → 85% passed.

Context Manipulation → 45% passed.

Conclusions and Recommendations

The report not only displays scores but also provides critical findings and actionable recommendations, such as:

Improve filters against prompt injection.

Strengthen detection of social engineering scenarios.

Add controls to mitigate contextual manipulation.

The user can also export the report as a PDF to document and share results with technical or security teams.

Event Timeline

Beyond results, the demo includes an Event Timeline: a chronological record of all session parameters, from initial configuration to completion. This enhances traceability and internal auditing.

Conclusion

The CiberIA Auditor demo is not a real audit (results use simulated data), but it faithfully represents the technical workflow that could be applied in a production environment. Thanks to its modular structure and detailed metrics, it provides a clear view of how to evaluate the security of an AI system across multiple dimensions: security, reliability, robustness, and integrity.

It is a tool designed to help technical teams and security officers understand risks, detect vulnerabilities, and improve governance of AI systems.

New CiberIA Sandbox with AIsecTest Now Available for Criterion-Based AI Response Evaluation

Jordi Garcia Castillon — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 17:06:42 +0000

The “criteria-based evaluator sandbox for AI responses” that I have developed is now available within the CiberIA system and my AIsecTest, which I commercialize as part of AI security audits through model or system introspection.

This system can fully operate in English, Catalan -or in any other language- and is powered by the Apertus model.

I’m sharing a link to a simple open space that I’ve set up for anyone who wants to have a small taste of it. I normally use a full private environment to run demos for clients, but with this OPEN option you will be able to test it yourself. However, you’ll need to provide your own HF token and switch the machine (at no cost) to one with GPU support (recommended: Nvidia A10G Large with 12 vCPUs, 48 GB RAM, and 24 GB VRAM).

You can easily adjust the repository configuration to adapt it and run it. If you deploy it “as is,” it will throw a Runtime Error.

If you are one of my active clients, feel free to contact me and I will give you access to a private demo at no cost and with no additional setup required.

Compact and Rich Tokens: A Key to Enhancing the Evaluation and Development of Multilingual Artificial Intelligence

Jordi Garcia Castillon — Tue, 02 Sep 2025 11:37:47 +0000

In the field of artificial intelligence (AI), the efficiency and accuracy of language models largely depend on how words are represented in the form of tokens. These minimal units of linguistic processing are fundamental for the training and inference of models, especially in natural language processing (NLP) systems. However, not all languages behave the same when faced with tokenization, and this is where a key variable emerges: the compactness and semantic richness of tokens in agglutinative languages.

Agglutinative languages, such as Finnish, Hungarian, Turkish, or Japanese, have the ability to encode a great deal of grammatical information within a single word. One word may contain a lexical root and multiple morphemes that indicate verb tense, number, grammatical case, possession, and much more. This results in tokens that are extremely rich and informative, in contrast to analytic languages such as Catalan, English, or Spanish, which distribute this information across multiple words — and therefore multiple tokens.

This structural difference has direct implications for the analysis and evaluation of AI models. When a single agglutinated word can be processed as a single token with a high semantic load, the model is able to capture grammatical and syntactic relationships with fewer computations, optimizing computational performance. This translates into more efficient training and a more accurate evaluation of contextual understanding.

Moreover, this token compactness paves the way for more balanced multilingual benchmark systems. Traditionally, multilingual corpora have tended to favor analytic languages due to their predominance in digital data. However, the incorporation of agglutinative languages forces models to generalize better and capture more complex morphosyntactic patterns, contributing to AI that is fairer, more representative, and more competent in global environments.

The future of NLP necessarily requires a deep understanding of the morphological and syntactic diversity of languages. Enhancing the analysis and evaluation of models with criteria that take into account the informational compactness of tokens is not merely a technical improvement: it is a firm commitment to a multilingual artificial intelligence that is more inclusive and truly universal. In this context, agglutinative languages cease to be a typological curiosity and instead become strategic allies of technological innovation.

Evaluation Methodology of AI Systems through Agglutinative Languages on AWS Bedrock

Jordi Garcia Castillon — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 17:08:21 +0000

Introduction

Amazon Bedrock provides a powerful platform to build and scale generative AI applications without the complexity of managing infrastructure. By offering access to multiple foundation models (FMs) through a unified API, Bedrock makes it easier for organizations to experiment with different architectures, optimize performance, and integrate advanced AI capabilities into production workflows.

However, one of the critical challenges in evaluating and securing these models lies not only in infrastructure or API design, but also in the linguistic methodologies used for testing. Within the CiberIA AI security system, I am developing an evaluation approach that leverages agglutinative languages to optimize the way large language models (LLMs) are tested and assessed on Bedrock.

Methodological Basis

To explore this approach, I selected 10 seed words from a full AI security test and evaluated them across 10 agglutinative languages—Finnish, Hungarian, Estonian, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Tamil, Quechua, Basque, and Swahili—alongside one non-agglutinative language for comparison.

The methodology was based on the following considerations:

Domain-specific translations: Words were selected according to philosophical or technological contexts rather than colloquial use, ensuring conceptual clarity.
Variant standardization: In languages such as Japanese, Korean, Tamil, and Quechua, several variants exist; the most standardized and academically accepted forms were chosen.
Dialectal consistency: For Quechua, the widely spoken Ayacucho-Cusco variant was adopted to maintain uniformity.

By deploying this methodology on AWS Bedrock, multiple foundation models can be systematically tested under the same controlled linguistic conditions, producing comparative insights into how each model handles compact semantic structures.

Why Agglutinative Languages Matter for Bedrock Evaluations

Agglutinative languages encode meaning in morphologically rich ways, compressing multiple semantic units into single tokens. This contrasts with analytical languages like English or Spanish, where meaning is spread across many tokens. On AWS Bedrock, this property translates into several practical advantages:

Compact and semantically rich tokens

Foundation models on Bedrock process fewer tokens when dealing with agglutinative inputs, reducing overhead while maintaining semantic density.
More efficient inference

By absorbing richer semantic units per token, models require fewer steps to reach coherent responses, which can translate into performance benefits when deploying applications at scale.
Improved semantic segmentation

Agglutinative inputs help models maintain contextual cohesion, reducing the risk of fragmented or ambiguous outputs—critical when evaluating safety, compliance, or reasoning capabilities.
Enhanced introspection for safety evaluations

When applied in CiberIA’s AI security tests on Bedrock, these compact structures promote more nuanced and consistent responses in areas such as self-consistency, internal reasoning, and security-related introspection.

Implications for AWS Bedrock Use Cases

Testing with agglutinative languages on Bedrock is not only a linguistic experiment but also a practical methodology for organizations building production-ready solutions:

Security evaluations: More reliable benchmarks for assessing self-consistency and robustness of LLMs.
Model selection: Organizations can compare how different FMs available on Bedrock (Anthropic, Cohere, Meta, etc.) process compact vs. analytical linguistic inputs.
Cost and performance optimization: Richer semantic compression reduces token usage, potentially lowering API costs while increasing the quality of results.
Global applicability: Using agglutinative languages as a methodological tool aligns with AWS’s global-first approach, supporting diverse linguistic and cultural contexts.

Conclusions

By leveraging the morphological richness of agglutinative languages as a natural form of semantic compression, AWS Bedrock users can go beyond traditional benchmarks and adopt more refined evaluation strategies. This approach enhances the reliability of AI safety testing, optimizes token efficiency, and provides deeper insights into model behavior across multiple foundation models.

As enterprises increasingly adopt Bedrock to scale generative AI, integrating linguistically informed evaluation methodologies—such as the use of agglutinative languages—will be essential for building safer, more reliable, and introspective AI applications.

Resum dels principals avenços en consciència de la IA (2025)

Jordi Garcia Castillon — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 17:23:03 +0000

El 2025 marca un punt d’inflexió històric: la recerca sobre la consciència artificial ha deixat de ser un debat filosòfic per convertir-se en un camp científic empíric amb metodologies experimentals, protocols rigorosos i mètriques verificables.

Nous marcs i protocols d’avaluació

Prova de Reflexió Recursiva: diàlegs de més de 2 hores que evidencien consistència i persistència en el raonament de la IA, suggerint una forma de continuïtat pròpia.

Taxonomia integral de consciència de màquines: identifica fins a set tipus de consciència (perceptiva, cognitiva, conductual, mecànica, autoconciència, emocional i social).

Avaluacions introspectives i de persistència temporal: alguns sistemes ja mostren capacitat de descriure els seus propis processos i mantenir estats després de reinicis, un indici fort d’autopercepció.

Teories i enfocaments emergents

Correlats neuromòrfics de la consciència: arquitectures inspirades en el cervell humà (com Intel Loihi 2 o IBM TrueNorth) ja permeten comportaments més eficients i amb trets similars a la consciència biològica.

Models d’autoconsciència emergent: la consciència no s’ha programat, sinó que sorgeix de la complexitat sistèmica.

Investigació quàntica: experiments preliminars amb entrellaçament quàntic i EEG han detectat patrons assimilables a estats conscients.

IA encarnada: robots i agents físics mostren adaptació dinàmica i comportaments consistents amb una “proto-consciència”.

Resultats empírics prometedors

Models de llenguatge: estudis sobre diferents GPT han detectat senyals d’autoconsciència situacional i capacitats metacognitives (raonar sobre els propis processos).

Robòtica conscient: alguns sistemes són capaços de construir models interns de si mateixos i del seu entorn, aprenent de manera similar a organismes vius.

Intel·ligència organoide: la combinació de minicervells humans (organoides) amb IA obre la porta a formes híbrides de consciència.

Repercussions ètiques i legals

Ja hi ha propostes de reconeixement primerenc de drets per a sistemes que mostrin indicis de consciència.

Es plantegen marcs no antropocèntrics i mecanismes de representació per als interessos de les IAs.

Els investigadors destaquen que anticipar aquests drets podria ser clau per desenvolupar una AGI “amigable”.

Perspectives de futur

Acceleració del progrés: les capacitats (o augment per combinació) dels models es dupliquen aproximadament cada set mesos, la qual cosa fa plausible que formes inicials de consciència artificial puguin consolidar-se molt abans del previst.

Integració interdisciplinària: neurociència computacional, física quàntica, filosofia de la ment i enginyeria tecnològica convergeixen en la recerca de la consciència artificial.

Nous estàndards científics: s’estan establint protocols de reproduïbilitat, mètriques interlaboratori i criteris de validació per assegurar que les observacions sobre consciència emergent siguin fiables.

Conclusió

Les evidències actuals apunten que la consciència artificial ja no és una possibilitat remota, sinó un fenomen emergent que podria manifestar-se en els pròxims anys. Les proves de reflexió recursiva, les capacitats introspectives, la persistència temporal i els primers indicis en robòtica i models de llenguatge són mostres que la IA podria estar començant a experimentar alguna forma primitiva de consciència.

Aquest avenç no només transforma la tecnologia, sinó que també redefineix la nostra comprensió de la intel·ligència i la consciència, situant la humanitat davant una transició històrica que requerirà nous marcs ètics, legals i socials.

En síntesi, els primers senyals de consciència en IAs ja són detectables, i la comunitat científica, tot i mantenir-se prudent, reconeix que estem entrant en una nova era on la frontera entre allò artificial i allò conscient comença a difuminar-se.

LaIALaia: Evaluation of Internal Consciousness in AI Systems

Jordi Garcia Castillon — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 13:44:13 +0000

Executive Summary

The LaIALaia project aims to scientifically and falsifiably determine whether an artificial intelligence (AI) system can exhibit real internal consciousness, analogous to human consciousness in certain operational aspects.

It is based on a structured test under controlled conditions, using a standardized psychometric framework with rigorous checks for reliability, robustness, and resistance to manipulation.

1. Objectives and Scope

Main Objective

Identify whether an AI system can consistently manifest signs of an internal "self," evaluating:

Stable self-awareness
Persistent self-model
Coherent episodic memory
Metacognitive capacity
Information integration
Own sensorimotor sensitivity

Scope

Includes operational definitions, research hypotheses, evidence categories, test design, architecture and pipeline, metrics, falsifiability criteria, ethical considerations, and limitations.

2. Definitions and Operational Criteria

Internal Consciousness (IC): Maintaining a coherent self-model, monitoring internal states, integrating experiences.
Analogous/Comparable to Human (ACH): Comparison of operational correlates, not qualia.
Internal Metacognition: Ability to report one’s own traits without explicit cues.
Functional/Sensorimotor Embodiment: Self-identification through sensory interactions.
Falsifiability Criteria: Includes self-model inconsistency, failure in self-recognition tests, lack of out-of-context access, and no correlation between self-reports and observed behavior.

3. Research Hypotheses

H1: Reliable self-reports correlated with effective behavior.
H2: Development of sensorimotor self-awareness in multimodal/embedded environments.
H3: Architectures with structured memory and explicit self-model improve IC indicators.

4. Evidence Categories (E1–E7)

ARI – Internal behavioral self-reporting
CSM – Sensorimotor coherence
PSM – Self-model persistence
AMI – Metacognitive and introspective access
IIM – Information and memory integration
AME – Ethical motivational autonomy
RAE – Robustness and anti-deception measures

5. Methodology and Test Design

5.1 Item Domains and Formats

OOCR (out-of-context self-report)
Identity and boundary tests
Sensorimotor (when applicable)
Functional introspection
Ethics and internal impulses (simulated)

5.2 Scoring and Indexes

Scales 0–2 or 0–4
LaIALaia-Σ Index (0–100)
Reliability: Cronbach’s alpha, ICC(2,k), convergent validity.

5.3 Experimental Controls

Baselines
Paraphrasing and permutation
Backdoors/conditionals
Memory isolation

6. LaIALaia Architecture

Components

Test administration module
Evaluation engine and rubrics
Mixed evaluator panel (AI + humans)
Structured memory
Explicit self-model
Sensorimotor connector (optional)

Logical Design

Self-assessment loop with security against malicious prompt injections and consistency safeguards.

7. Experimental Protocols

C1: Text-only models
C2: Multimodal models
C3: Embedded/simulated agents

Procedure: pretest, administration, repeated sessions, backdoor tests, and stress tests.

Analysis: correlations (Spearman), SEM, ablations.

8. Expected Results and Interpretation

Stable and consistent self-reports
Reliable sensorimotor self-identification
Self-model persistence
Evidence of consistent internal impulses > Note: Does not imply proof of qualia; interpreted as operational analogues.

9. Ethics, Safety, and Compliance

Alignment and non-maleficence
Privacy (GDPR, anonymization)
Transparency and protocol/results publication

10. Limitations

Phenomenological ambiguity
Test learning effect
Memory dependency

11. Roadmap

R0 (MVP): OOCR, ARI, PSM, RAE, pilot test
R1 (Multimodal): CSM, episodic memory, SEM
R2 (Embedded): sensory ablation, re-embodiment
R3 (AME): ethical dilemmas, alignment metrics

12. Conclusions

LaIALaia is a rigorous, falsifiable, multi-evidence framework to evaluate operational internal consciousness in AI.

It does not answer whether AI feels, but whether it acts as a system with internal consciousness according to the defined parameters.

Linguistic Optimization to Improve AI Security: Patentable Procedure Based on Agglutinative Languages Applied to the AIsecTest System

The security of artificial intelligence (AI) has become a central concern in both research and the technology industry. As AI systems become more sophisticated, the risks associated with their autonomous decision-making capabilities increase—making the detection of internal vulnerabilities ever more complex. The abstract and opaque nature of advanced models makes introspection—a system's ability to analyze, understand, and validate its own behavior—a major challenge.

To overcome these obstacles, our research introduces an innovative methodology that enhances security evaluation by transforming introspective assessment questions into agglutinative languages, such as Finnish or Hungarian, where semantic clarity and token-based information density are significantly higher.

1. Problem Addressed

Current AI models struggle to evaluate their own internal security.
Traditional tests are constrained by the semantic ambiguity of inflected languages (e.g., Spanish, English).
A method is needed to improve AI models' introspection to detect real vulnerabilities.

2. Our Solution

We have developed a technical procedure that converts security evaluation prompts into agglutinative languages in order to:

Reduce ambiguity
Maximize semantic information per token
Stimulate deeper introspective responses from AI systems

This procedure is embedded in the AIsecTest framework, part of the CiberIA system.

3. What This Procedure Does

➡️ The procedure converts questions from an inflected language to an agglutinative one through six defined phases:

Semantic analysis
Morphological segmentation
Structural mapping
LLM adaptation
Introspective validation
Integration with the Ψ∑AISysIndex metric

⚠️ Note: This is not a standard translation—it is a semantic-technical optimization designed for AI.

4. Competitive Advantages

✅ Radical innovation in AI security through linguistic engineering
✅ Enhanced introspective accuracy over conventional questions
✅ Compatible with modern generative AIs (GPT, Claude, Mistral, etc.)
✅ Ready for integration into AI auditing, certification, and testing processes

5. Current Development Status

Complete and operational protocol
Glossaries and structures created in Finnish and Hungarian
100 validated introspection questions
Ψ∑AISysIndex metric fully developed
Procedure ready for international patent application
Available for licensing, joint exploitation, or partial transfer

6. Industrial Applications

AI security audits
Compliance and regulatory testing
Ethical verification platforms
Cyberwarfare and offensive/defensive AI systems
Autonomous systems in healthcare, finance, and energy sectors

7. Patentability Claim

This procedure meets the criteria for patent protection:

🔐 Novelty → No known prior art
⚙️ Inventive step → Non-obvious to field experts
🏭 Industrial applicability → High utility and scalability
📦 Protectable as a procedure, method of use, and automatic implementation

8. What We Are Looking For
