Colin Hales speaks at the Singularity Salon, Melbourne.

Previous discussions @ Singularity Salon have been on Chalmers paper, Beleif as Attire (Less Wrong), the H+ Summit 2011, and the Singularity Summit 2010.

What I do

I am a late-onset engineer/scientist (PhD awarded!)/post-doc with the sole intent of developing a novel brain-tissue replication chip technology for application in artificial general intelligence/robots and human implants. Later, I hope to get the robots and derivative products into commercial production. The chip technology facilitates natural learning of the kind biology uses to adapt to novelty.

Interests

Artificial general intelligence, the scientific study of consciousness, intelligence, cognition, molecular dynamics, biophysics, electrodynamics, scientific method, pattern theory, cellular automata, information theory, memristor applications/chip design, cell biology, empirical and theoretical neuroscience, machine consciousness.

Projects

My only science mission is to create artificial general intelligence (machine, inorganic intelligence) that learns like biology learns and that have an internal life appropriate to that circumstance. Currently that goal requires a general review of the laws of electromagnetism as applied to brain material.
