  Hugo de Garis - Utah-Brain Project :: SETIAI
The aim of the Utah-Brain project is to build an artificial brain which will control the behaviour of a life-sized robotic cat (image right).
The project is being conducted at the Utah State University, USA and led by Professor Hugo de Garis.
The aim is to build a machine capable of implementing a billion artificial neurons by around 2005/2006.

  Hugo de Garis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hugo de Garis (born 1947, Sydney, Australia) is an associate professor of computer science at Utah State University.
De Garis's early studies were on theoretical physics, but he abandoned this field of research in favour of AI and artificial life.
Cosmism, according to de Garis, is a moral philosophy that favors building or growing artificial intelligence and ultimately leaving the planet Earth to the Terrans, e.g.

Dr. Hugo de Garis heads the Brain Builder Group at ATR Labs in Kyoto Japan.
de Garis is the creator of several research fields.
He was the first to evolve neural net dynamics (1989) which led to the creation of artificial nervous systems that the field of evolutionary robotics is based on; evolvable hardware (1992) now a thriving research field; artificial brains (1993), which is his current work.

 Define artificial intellect - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: artilect
An artificial intellect (or "artilect"), according to Dr. Hugo de Garis, is a computer intelligence superior to that of humans in one or more spheres of knowledge together with an implicit will to use the intelligence.
Artilects are the concern of artificial intelligence specialists (or "intelligists") like de Garis, who speculates that human society may soon have to face the question of whether and how we can restrain artificial intelligence from making decisions inimical to humans.
de Garis assumes that within one or two generations, we will have computers that are more sophisticated than human brains with the ability to experimentally evolve their intelligence into something much beyond what humans might contemplate or understand.

 Big Thinkers - Hugo de Garis
Professor Hugo de Garis is associate professor of computer science and adjunct professor of theoretical physics at Utah State University, Utah, USA, teaching the world's first Ph.
Prof de Garis is the father of the research field "evolovable hardware," which he got off the ground, starting in 1992.
de Garis is also a political visionary, predicting a "gigadeath" war over the issue of "species dominance" as godlike massively intelligent machines he calls "artilects" threaten human species dominance.

 Robot To Demonstrate Evolvable Neural Network Hardware
De Garis was a visiting guest in the Lab's National Energy Research Scientific Computing Division this month.
If all goes according to plan, de Garis says, this brain will be composed of 40 million artificial neurons, consisting of up to 32,000 neural net modules.
Currently, research into "brain building" is relatively small and hardly mainstream, said de Garis, adding, "The lab I'm working in is a bit fringey." But if the ideas prove successful, he predicts the field will take off and could eventually take on the momentum of other efforts conducted at national laboratories or at NASA.

 Ugly Chart : Hugo de Garis and the Gigadeath War
Hugo de Garis, an associate professor of computer science at Utah State University, believes that one day soon intelligent machines will threaten to dominate the world with a 'gigadeath war.'
De Garis predicts that in about 20 years nanotechnology will have developed to the point that "nanots" (nano-scale robots) and other nano-scale tools will be used to help scientists learn more about the human brain.
His predictions about the growth of technology are similar to Ray Kurzweil, although de Garis is more pessimistic.

One of the great white hopes for AI research in the 1990s was the CAM Brain project of Hugo de Garis.
De Garis probably didn't help himself a great deal by making a series of exaggerated short term predictions, and coming up with some amusing science fiction in an online book called The Artilect War.
Reading De Garis' own lecture notes gives a rather disappointing view of what he is trying to do with the evolved networks.

Then comes the third generation, which Professor de Garis expects to be finished about 2011 - a fearsome creation of 1000 billion neurons, vastly larger than that of a human.
Professor de Garis is not so sure about humans retaining control, particularly when it comes to a silicon brain 40 times smarter than your average man. These, he says, should be coming out of the CAM machines by the second half of this century.

De Garis referred to Moore's law, which says that technology will double every 18 months, as evidence that advanced artificial intelligence is quickly turning from science fiction to science fact.
De Garis predicted that the future would bring a war between Terrans and Cosmists - a war that would result in "gigadeath." He said tens of thousands of people were killed in the Napoleonic wars and tens of millions of people were killed in the World Wars when technology became greater.
In a 21st century war, de Garis said, billions of people would be killed.

 AI - Future   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
de Garis feels that at the rate progress is being made in engineering fields, “artilects” (a term he uses to represent “godlike massively intelligent machine”) will take over our lives and potentially wipe humans out.
In reference to its ability to explore and analyze things on the tiniest of levels, de Garis feels that this technology will lead to extremely detailed information on the workings of the mind and brain, therefore allowing for flawless intelligence for artilects.
Another concept de Garis mentions is Moore’s Law, with states that capacity of circuits(which consists of speed and density of transistors and such) doubles every 18 months.

The strategy taken to achieve this goal is to use RAM memory as the medium and to grow and evolve cellular automata based neural network modules which can later be assembled into humanly designed artificial brain architectures.
It is so simple that it is possible to implement this model completely in hardware, and thus to fulfill an old dream of de Garis, namely to see complete neural circuits evolve directly in hardware at sub second speeds.
In [de Garis et al 1996] de Garis and his Chinese collaborators present a 100 module architecture, and discuss the type of artificial brains which could be built with 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, 10000000 CBM evolved neural net modules.

Wenn es tatsächlich um das Heil des Volkes dabei ginge, und nicht um Ideologie, dann müssten nach meiner Ansicht eigentlich drei Dinge bedacht werden: Zum Einen fehlt in unserer Kultur die Bereitschaft, nicht erwerbstätige Arbeit der erwerbstätigen Arbeit gegenüber gleich zu setzen und als gleichberechtigt anzuerkennen.
Sie macht aus Jugendlichen angesichts des prekären Arbeitsmarktes meinungslose, egozentrische Jasager.
