Where am I?

I'm Jim Carnicelli. I blog my own thoughts on and research into artificial intelligence and occasionally review books and other resources on the subject. I have been a software engineer and have had a passion for making intelligent machines since the early 1990s. I have no formal funding, so research is limited to my spare time. (Yes, I'd love to discuss financial support with you).

Current research efforts are focused primarily on bridging the no-man's land between today's sensory and conceptual levels of intelligence: perception. My belief is that by making it so machines can get past sense/response logic and into actually perceiving objects and actions like we do, the rest of the pieces needed for "general intelligence" will fall into place.
