About this episode
Co-hosted by Ben Goertzel, Lisa Rein, and Grace the Robot, with special guest Rachel St.Clair, Co-founder and CEO of Simuli.
Rachel StClair is an AI scientist and entrepreneur who just received her PhD in complex systems and Brain Sciences and went on to co-found the AGI hardware company Simuli, making processors that use advanced math and an innovative hardware layout to process more information per transistor by compressing information before processing.
Rachel’s current work focuses on new learning algorithms for AGI and all things consciousness, intelligence, and AGI-related. She is a leading thinker on the intersection of computing, math & neuroscience, has published more than 20 papers, and is a Fellow at the Center for the Future Mind.
Episode 2’s main focus is a fast-paced discussion between Ben Goertzel and Rachel StClair covering the basics, and then diving deeper, into the mathematical theories behind AGI-specific hardware and the advanced forms of resource management used by Simuli’s processors.
