From: Ben Goertzel To: Cc: jeffrey epstein <jeevacation®gmail.com> Subject: Re: Hanson Robotics Date: Thu, 07 Nov 2013 02:30:06 +0000 Attachments: CogBot_Proposal_v7.doc; article_photos.zip; baby_einstein14jpg; baby_einstein02jpg; baby_einstein07.jpg; baby_einstein20jpg H Attached find a version of the research proposal that was used to achieve our funding for robotics work from the HK government (which is a 90-10 matching grant, and Jeffrey has been helping with the 10% corporate sponsorship portion, indirectly by donating $$ to the nonprofit org Humanity+ which then grants it to my impoverished consulting firm Novamente LLC, which is the formal corporate sponsor of the project ;p kinda convoluted I know!! ) . This will tell you about the aims of our current work. At the moment our robotics work is still getting off the ground, though. We have also begun working with Mark Tilden, who builds awesome robot bodies... This video tells the story of our growing collaboration in a less formal way: hftps://wwvv.youtube.com/watch?v=VblofRjtXjQ By the way, a 48-minute documentary film discussing some earlier, similar robotics work I did in 2009 is here: http://singularityorbust.com Also, attached find some photos of our robots.... (The Femi-Einstein ones are just for fun and obviously not suitable for an article... I just crudely duct-taped one of David Hanson's Einstein heads on one of Mark Tilden's FemiSapien bodies. Because -- well -- why not ? ) A research paper discussing the computer vision aspects of our robotics work is here: http://goertzel.org/agi-13/DeSTIN_PLN_v3.pdf and a crude video of that talk is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKcwHFniCtc thx ;) Ben On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 1:01 A wro e: EFTA00678495 > Hi Ben, > I hope that you are well. > Pm drafting an article on the intelligence that you are creating/ have > created for Hason Robotics specifically. > Is it comparable to the intelligence that you developed for the virtual > platforms? > Thank you for sending any documentation about this. > My best regards, Ben Goertzel, PhD http://goertzel.org "My humanity is a constant self-overcoming" -- Friedrich Nietzsche EFTA00678496

EFTA00700552 - Goertzel-Arel 'Robot Toddler' AGI Proposal for Epstein Foundation

DOJ-released document from Data Set 9 containing the draft research and development proposal prepared by AI researchers Ben Goertzel and Itamar Arel for the Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation. The proposal outlines a $3 million project to develop a 'robotic AGI toddler' — an artificial general intelligence system 'with the rough general intelligence of a human 3-4 year old child, demonstrated via embodiment in virtual world characters and humanoid robots.' Arel was designated as primary investigator, contributing his DeSTIN (Deep SpatioTemporal Inference Network) facial recognition system developed at the University of Tennessee using graduate student labor. Goertzel, who received direct salary from the Epstein Foundation, proposed the project and suggested additional hundreds of thousands in funding for Arel's research assistants. This document is central to understanding Epstein's funding of cutting-edge AI research through academic intermediaries.
