Re: From Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation

Thanks

It's a busy week, but I will give you a substantial reply a little later this week, ok?

Dear Mr. Goertzel,
I'm writing to you from Jeffrey Epstein's foundation. I just left you a voice message.

We are setting up a website on the artificial intelligence research that Jeffrey supports. The url will be http://www.jeffreyepstein.net/

We would like to profile OpenCog and some of your own work. I would love to get a sense from you what projects you would like to highlight?
Could you either call me on my cell? . Or let me know via email?

Thank you and best regards,

Sony for taking so long to get back to you, I've been busy as usual and your email temporarily disappeared into the murky depths of my inbox ;I ...

Regarding our projects that Jeffrey has helped fund, the main initiative is:

-- The ongoing OpenCog initiative to create an open source Artificial General Intelligence system, see http://opencog.orgi

Within the scope of the OpenCog project, one thing Jeffrey helped with was

-- A project to apply OpenCog to control intelligent virtual characters. A summary of this project is in the attached PDF, including some images of the characters, and some indications of the published papers resulting from the project. This research is ongoing.

Also, a new project, just started quite recently:

-- applying OpenCog to control David Hanson's humanoid robots. Some awesome images of David's robots are here: http://www.hansonrobotics.corn/?page_id=1868.... A brief, very nontechnical presentation showing some of David's robots and mentioning their relation to OpenCog is here: http://goertzel.org/GF-2045_v2.pptx... David and I made this for the

Global Future 2045 conference in NY this summer...

We have gotten one of David's robots in our OpenCog lab quite recently and expect to start with this robotics work this fall...

Finally, Jeffrey has been supportive to me in producing the book "Engineering General Intelligence" which will appear around the end of this year; I will end you publication details of that when available...

Let me know if you need more information...
Thanks :)
Ben
