Bio
I retired in 2010 from being the Director of the Artificial Brain Lab (ABL) at Xiamen University, China, where I was building China's first artificial brain. I am now ARCing (after retirement careering) on pure math and math physics, looking into the possibility of a femto meter scale technology, and topological quantum computing.
Im best known in the world media for my ideas on "species dominance", i.e. should humanity build godlike massively intelligent machines (called "artilects" = artificial intellects) this century with mental capacities trillions of trillions of times above the human level. Im predicting a major war "The Artilect War" (the title of my first book) over this issue that will kill billions of people ("gigadeath") later in the century.
Im claiming that humanity will split into "Terrans" (opposed to artilect building) and "Cosmists" (in favor of artilect building). The Terrans will be motivated by fear that the artilects could wipe out humanity as a pest, and the Cosmists will treat artilect building as "god building". With 21st century weaponry, a major, passionate war over species dominance will result in gigadeath.
Im also interested in the creation of a global state (called "Globa"), the topic of my second book "Multis and Monos". A global state will result from the creation of an internet a trillion times faster than today's in 40 years, which will create a global language, a global media, global cultural homogenization, global education, and hence create a world that is "warfree", and remove its arms trade, its poverty and its ignorance. Unfortunately, Globa will not be able to prevent the Artilect War. It will be a global civil war.
I have many international media appearances and essays you can read on this site.
In 2012, I bought a camcorder and started videoing my home lectures on graduate level Pure Math, Math Physics and Computer Theory and put them on YouTube so that the world can teach itself to PhD level for FREE in these topics. Now that I'm in my mid 60s its my benefaction to the planet.
Im now a tech consultant to Hollywood on intelligent machine issues.
