Summary

Peter Voss fell in love with software after starting a hardware design company. He moved to America 25 years ago, and rapidly connected with interesting people - leaders in the field of nano technology, AI, longevity, futurism... in face, he got very involved with futurism, following tech that could repair damage in your body and truly conquer aging. His target is to live long enough to take benefit from these life extending technologies, so he practices calorie restriction and is exploring cryonics. For fun, he rides motorcycles, specifically his 1000CC BMW racing bike. Not too long ago, he found himself struck by how "dumb" software is, or better put, how narrow. So his mission for the last 25 years has been to make software smarter. This led him to dig into the current definitions for what is knowledge, and our relationship with psychology, etc - to deeply understand cognition and intelligence to understand what we knew. He came up with a design for an AI, centering around the phrase AGI - artificial general intelligence. This is the creation story of AIGO.
