At the moment I am writing an article to explain the likely relationship =etween conscious attention and credit assignment, i.e. to figure out =hich parts in our control architecture contributed to success or =ailure in a learning task and thus need to be adjusted. The basic idea =s that consciousness is not the experience of the here and now, but =nly generated with hindsight, and its primary role is to keep track of =hat parts of our behavior contributed to the outcome, so we can =pecifically adjust those parts.

Other than that, I'm going to give a tutorial on motivation in Al =ystems at the AAAI conference, will go to the Ann Arbor Al workshop on =rchitectures for human-like AI, teach a seminar on Al again (last week =e had Danny Hillis as special guest), build an agent that navigates a =irtual world with a couple of masters students, and make extensions to =y cognitive architecture MicroPsi.

Btw, you mentioned a TV show/episode where I could/should talk about =GI?

How are you doing? I imagine that the destruction of the US virgin =slands is demanding your attention? I can only imagine what it must =ook like.

With kind regards,

Joscha
