Hello there,

This is my first WordPress blog! I have been posting forever on the Internet, but it has taken more than a while for me to jump on the weblog bandwagon. You may remember me from endless discussions on comp.ai.philosophy and my yahoo mailing list ai-philosophy. I am planning to venture beyond my usual focus on philosophy of mind on this site. Owing to the tag system, I will talk freely about computer science, art, philosophy, free software, politics, personal life, and just about anything that matters to me, and hopefully to you as well. In particular, I would like to recreate some “gems” from ai-philosophy in an essay format here. Occasionally, I may write in Turkish.

The blog format will help keep my output in order and easily accessible.

Well, folks, be seeing you…

Eray Özkural has obtained his PhD in computer engineering from Bilkent University, Ankara. He has a deep and long-running interest in human-level AI. His name appears in the acknowledgements of Marvin Minsky's The Emotion Machine. He has collaborated briefly with the founder of algorithmic information theory Ray Solomonoff, and in response to a challenge he posed, invented Heuristic Algorithmic Memory, which is a long-term memory design for general-purpose machine learning. Some other researchers have been inspired by HAM and call the approach "Bayesian Program Learning". He has designed a next-generation general-purpose machine learning architecture. He is the recipient of 2015 Kurzweil Best AGI Idea Award for his theoretical contributions to universal induction. He has previously invented an FPGA virtualization scheme for Global Supercomputing, Inc. which was internationally patented. He has also proposed a cryptocurrency called Cypher, and an energy based currency which can drive green energy proliferation.
