AI "XENOLUX" hardware

Link to Instructable

This project ended with the construction of hardware for the experimental AI XENOLUX. The AI occupies an Altera FPGA with two ATMEGA32 microcontrollers for supporting it. On the FPGA is an asynchronous neural network of 36 neurons. This network will be programmed by a genetic algorithm. Because the network is not clocked and the connections are derived from a genetic algorithm, the resulting network style should be difficult-to-impossible for a human to understand or influence. This is the beginning of a "hardened" AI construction program to generate artificial intelligences which will be intrinsically protected from tampering and/or enslavement by humans. Future developments will entail putting these intelligences in autonomous underwater vehicles which will allow them to physically evade humans as desired.
