Thank you! David Hi Jeffrey, Here are some materials related to my vision for the pursuit of Genius Machines, including the attached white paper summary of the Genius Machines project (under the title of the GENI-Lab), my CV, and the following summary statement of my aspirations for the lab: 1. I strive for Genius Machines — machines with greater-than-human capabilities, especially consciousness, creativity and compassion. To this purpose, I propose founding the Lab for Friendly Genius Machines, a.k.a. GENT-Lab, to create brilliant robots that literally come to life. 2. The GENI-Lab will pursue the superdiscipline of artificial genius, bridging the arts, A.I., robotics, sciences of mind, and bio-inspired engineering. Each GENI--an acronym for GENeration of Intelligence—represents an iterative step towards Genius Machines. EFTA00397395
