Michael Wilson, SIAI’s supergenius-class Associate Researcher, quietly launched a website last week for his private-sector AI project, Bitphase AI Ltd. As his logo indicates, an early application of the technology will be to improve the interoperability of software systems, particularly in the financial sector. This could save hundreds of millions of dollars in consulting fees. The technology will have other applications too, but I want to let Mr. Wilson release that information publicly at his own discretion. Mr. Wilson has been working on this technology for a couple years now, and is now getting ready to poke around for angel investments. His bio, from SIAI’s website:

Michael Wilson is a skilled software engineer with expertise in network protocols, physical simulation, language tools and distributed systems, and has significant experience in business and development team management. Michael has obtained a degree in computer science from Sheffield University and considerable experience at various IT companies. At Destiny Star Limited, he developed a real-time grid computing platform, raised the investment, and hired and ran a development team of 11 people. He is now in the early stages of prototyping a new AI technology.

From reading his Wiki notes and through multiple conversations, it is clear to me that Mr. Wilson is not only extremely intelligent but is familiar with the pitfalls of AI research in a way that very few others are. He is one of only a few dozen researchers working actively towards AI with a general problem-solving capacity that is adaptive to changing circumstances. If you want to get in on the ground floor of what could very well be a revolutionary new technology, get in touch with him.
