Florian Neukart

Florian Neukart is an Austrian computer scientist, mathematician, and scientific author. He is known for his work in the fields of quantum computing and artificial intelligence, particularly on how to reverse-engineer the mind by gradually replacing the biological brain with artificial components, such as quantum nano-bots, electrodes, or a neural lace. In his work, he describes methods for interpreting signals in the human brain in combination with paradigms from artificial intelligence, allowing for the creation of artificial conscious entities (ACE).[1][2]

Biography and work

Florian Neukart holds a Ph.D. in quantum computing and artificial intelligence from the Transilvania University of Brasov, as well as a master's degree in information technology from the CAMPUS02 University of Applied Sciences in Graz, and a master's degree in computer science from the Joanneum University of Applied Sciences in Kapfenberg. He works as Director, Advanced Technologies and IT Innovation at Volkswagen Group of America, where he is concerned with research in the fields of quantum computing,[3][4] quantum machine learning,[5] artificial intelligence,[6][7] and materials science.[8][9] Neukart, born in Bruck/Mur, is also a member of the World Economic Forum's global future council on quantum computing,[10] and an assistant professor for quantum computing at Leiden University.[11][12][13]

He is the author of the books "Reverse Engineering the Mind Consciously Acting Machines and Accelerated Evolution", where he elaborates on establishing a symbiotic relationship between a biological brain, sensors, AI and quantum hard- and software, resulting in solutions for the continuous consciousness-problem as well as other state of the art problems, and "Humankind's Hunger for Energy: The journey of a million years, from using flints to harvesting galaxies", where he describes the evolution of humankind in terms of its energy consumption.

His research continues to attract considerable public international attention.[14][15][16][17][18][19][20] He was one of the first researchers to propose and implement quantum neural networks.[21] He is a pioneer in applied quantum computing and among the first ones to solve real-world problems of society and environment by means of quantum computing.[22][23][24][25] He was the first one to have introduced practical quantum computing in academic education worldwide.[26] Neukart was awarded by the Science Park Austria for his work in biologically-inspired artificial intelligence software.[27]

gollark: Us foolish meatbags need oxygen and stable ~300K temperatures and food and water and stuff.
gollark: But what if the AIs colonize outer space? They can beat humans at it.
gollark: See, any game can be made more fun if you implement human-level intelligences which can create stuff like pyramid schemes.
gollark: Presumably if food is magically non-perishable, lots of people will just store it, and the price won't vary *that* much because the only extra cost is some storage.
gollark: But then they can't do fun stuff like run scams.
