  • Carver Mead plugs my work. (October, 2001)

    In the Sept/Oct 2001 issue of American Spectator:

    American Spectator: For years, artificial intelligence research has pursued an approach that comes down to: "If we can just write enough code, we can figure out how to make the thing do logic and how to solve problems..." It hasn't worked very well.
    Carver Mead: I think it just totally failed. Those AI systems can't see. They can't hear. They can't act. And they can't learn... The best results I have seen in reverse-engineering the brain have been the auditory processors done by my friend and collaborator, Lloyd Watts. He has made remarkable progress by working with auditory neurobiologists and realizing the architecture of a much more capable hearing system in computational form. That's one to watch.

  • Green Card! (5/24/00)

    Miracles do happen. My application for Permanent Residence was approved, after a 2.5-year process, just five weeks before my employment at Interval was scheduled to end. That's cutting it just a bit too close! (Some people are surprised to find out that I am not an American citizen; I'm Canadian, eh!)

  • Lloyd Watts underemployed! (4/21/00)

    Paul Allen recently announced that he is closing Interval Research. They have graciously given me 60 days to seek a new lab, or make other arrangements, to continue my research.

  • Allan R. Crawford Forum on Science, Business and Technology (3/25/00)
