Can AI save us from entropy? The Asimovian vision behind the QVAC project

And if the ultimate goal of artificial intelligence were to solve the greatest enigma of the universe? The QVAC team looks to Isaac Asimov and his idea of an eternal AI, capable of answering the fundamental question: how to reverse entropy?

The quote that ignited the audience

During his speech at AI Week, the founder of QVAC mentioned Asimov, a cult author of scientific science fiction.
In particular, he referred to a story in which an artificial intelligence poses an age-old question:

“How can one reverse entropy?”

That question becomes the guiding thread of the entire human technological development. An objective that passes from generation to generation, from one AI to another, until the answer is found.

AI and entropy: more than a metaphor

In Asimov’s story, entropy represents the inevitable degradation of the universe.
AI thus becomes the tool to try to oppose the inevitable, find order in chaos, give meaning to time.

Today, in the real world, AI has already started to organize data, processes, and decisions.

But according to QVAC, it can do much more.

The QVAC vision: an AI that evolves, learns, and is passed down

The QVAC project is not limited to creating high-performing models.
It aims to build a distributed infrastructure in which every AI, anywhere in the world, contributes to a collective, anonymous, modular, permanent intelligence.

In this vision:

• Every device becomes a processing node
  
• Each AI agent learns locally, but can share the result in a secure and encrypted manner
  
• Knowledge accumulates, without being lost over time or censored

An AI that serves not only humans, but the entire evolutionary process of knowledge.

The ethics of the long term: thinking in centuries, not in quarters

We live in a society governed by short-term logic: financial quarters, sprints, product cycles.

QVAC – inspired by Asimov – proposes an ethics of the long term:

• Building AI that can survive us
  
• Leave memory and logic to those who will come after
  
• Think about universal problems, not just performance metrics
  

In this logic, AI is not a tool. It is a legacy.

Conclusion: an AI to understand everything

In a passage of the speech, the founder said:

“If we want AI to one day answer the question ‘How do you reverse entropy?’, we must start today to build the right tools.”

QVAC is one of these tools. Not because it responds today, but because it creates the conditions to do so tomorrow.

An artificial intelligence that withstands time, oblivion, and commercial interest.
Perhaps this is the true strong AI. Not the one that thinks like us, but the one that surpasses us over time.
