Dear subscribes,
I am writing this email as an initial call for advisory board members for a small charity foundation that I am at the moment setting up, to support the studies, research and further thinking about artificial intelligence - the Dawning Thought Foundation.
Although not working in the field of robotics and AI, I have been following this topic as a personal interest, and very passionate and excited about the future. The Foundation has two initial missions:
1) To set up an annual award for a literal/intellectual writing piece, as a practice to inspire the public's interest and general awareness about AI with a more accessible language. The awarded piece will be published on the Foundation's website, available to the general public.
2) To support Msc level studies/research on the subject of robotics and AI by offering an annual scholarship. Ideal candidates will be those who have an awareness of the ethnical and philosophical concern about the future of AI, as well as an interest in the development of EQ in machine learning.
These are the two main objectives of this foundation, as the foundation develops, more missions may be included.
Because this is the first time that I have decided to set up a charity foundation, apart from the legal supports which I receive from working with my personal solicitor, I would be grateful to receive some academic supports too from the experts in the field. Dawning Thought Foundation is willing to work with different institutes in the future as well as to develop international partnerships, potentially between China and the UK.
If you are interested in joining the Foundation as an advisory board member, please express your interests by sending your CV and a short paragraph of statement no later than April 30, 2017.
I shall look forward to hearing from you.
With warm regards, Hiu
