In 2002 and 2003 I did partial work on a Master's degree in Computer Science, with a focus on A.I. I ended up moving and didn't finish, but I kept following the space. Over the last year or two, things have really picked up, particularly in the Machine Learning sub-discipline of A.I. After I sold my first company in 2014, I decided to dig in deeper and this newsletter is a way to follow developments in A.I. more closely. I have always found that writing about things forces me to clarify how I think about them, and is immensely helpful.
The newsletter covers mostly A.I., but also Robotics and Neurotechnology, which I think will be the growth areas after A.I. matures. And of course, "Technically Sentient" is a bit of a play on words. My intent is to run this newsletter until we have sentient machines, which I think are probably 12-15 years away.
So if you like this kind of stuff, sign up for my newsletter. I'm sure you will enjoy it.
