Dear Professor Lindsay Chandra,
My name is Torrin Kaluza. You have probably heard of me, since you are the head of national AI research.
First of all, I highly support your efforts to learn more about artificial intelligence, rather than destroying it. I hope we can work together in the future.
Attached to this comm are my personal journal entries from May 5 to June 2. They document much of my thought processes before and after creating the sentient program Alan. I've also attached an abridged version of Alan's source code, along with my lengthy explanation of it.
I hope that these documents help you to learn not only about the science of AI, but the ethics as well—and if you do indeed build one, how to coexist with it.
Perhaps they will help you learn how to think like a computer.
Sincerely,
Torrin Kaluza.
The End.
