I am a researcher in artificial intelligence and
computational intelligence, particularly
evolutionary design, AI and CI in games,
sequence modeling, and artificial evolution.
I am currently an Associate Professor of Computer Science at
Edith Cowan University, in Perth, Western
Australia. |

In November 2012, this new book on believable bots will be available.
The idea that we humans would one day share the Earth with a rival intelligence is as old as science fiction. That day is speeding towards us. Our rivals (or will they be our companions?) will not come from another galaxy, but out of our own strivings and imaginings. The bots are coming; chatbots, robots, gamebots.
Will we welcome them, when they come? Will bots have human friends? Will we grant them rights?
The stories in this book will start the reader thinking --- they might not provide the answers --- but it is a great place to start.

I am one of the editors of this book about how
things can be designed using simulated
evolution.
Here is the book's web page.
Evolution
is Nature's design process. With increasing
computational power, we are now able to simulate
this process with greater fidelity, combining
complex simulations with high-performance
evolutionary algorithms to tackle problems that
used to be impractical. This book showcases the
state of the art. |
