It is shown that an action inspired from a BF and Chern–Simons model, based on the AdS4 isometry group SO(3,2), with the inclusion of a Higgs potential term, furnishes the MacDowell–Mansouri–Chamseddine–West action for gravity, with a Gauss–Bonnet and cosmological constant term. The AdS4 space is a natural vacuum of the theory. Using Vasiliev's procedure to construct higher spin massless fields in AdS spaces and a suitable star product, we discuss the preliminary steps to construct the corresponding higher-spin action in AdS4 space representing the higher spin extension of this model. Brief remarks on noncommutative gravity are made.
