I have been doing artificial intelligence research since 1970. That makes over half a century! My Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD theses were about machine learning. Now I mainly wonder about what I should do this month that would make the most difference after I am dead.

I have formalized and funded multiple Trusts. I am seeking partners for one of the Trusts that is intended to support progress in artificial intelligence.

I used my own assets to support private money lending on speculative real estate deals. I toured prospective properties, learned what the borrowers intended to do with the property, negotiated the terms of the deal, prepared and filed my own legal documents (such as Promissory Note and Deed of Trust), and tracked the use of the lent money, and ensured that money flowed in both directions as required. Over 50 deals were completed.

In 2002, I registered in Maryland a company called “HIPAA-IT LLC” which did electronic publishing of HIPAA educational and training material and provided consulting services to healthcare entities. We had a web site from which we marketed, sold, and delivered electronic content.

In 1999 I moved from being a professor of computer science to being a professor of information systems. In computer science, faculty are expected to get research grants from national entities, such as NSF. However, in information systems departments, faculty are expected to consult with industry to develop and maintain business knowledge and to teach students about practical aspects of business. With my background in medicine and computing and given the passage of HIPAA in 1996 with its enormous impacts on information systems for health care, I became an expert on information systems for HIPAA compliance. I became a leading national speaker and adviser on the subject and worked with hospital networks, insurance companies, and government agencies on how to implement the privacy, security, and electronic transactions requirements of HIPAA.

Liverpool, England, United Kingdom

In 1993 I registered Hypermedia Solutions Limited in Liverpool, England as a formal “Private Company Limited by Shares”. We did electronic publishing. We built a web site that advertised books for sale in electronic format. Buyers could use their credit card to pay for a book and download it. We also had contracts with the European Union and private businesses to convert documents and multi-media into CD-ROM format for sale as CD-ROMs.

I had become the Virtual University Academic Office at Washington State University working with the Provost Tom George on online education. However, Tom left to become President elsewhere, and I took a position at Pace University to lead a new online program for which they had substantial funding.

The Globewide Network Academy was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in the state of Texas in 1993 and was the world's first virtual organization. It was affiliated with the Usenet University project and its goal was to create a fully accredited online university.

Liverpool, United Kingdom

I received enough funding from European Union R&D projects to support a research team of 30 full-time people. Professionally this was the most rewarding time of my life.

Bethesda, Maryland

I maintained two offices, one as Chief of the Medical Subject Headings Section and Editor of Index Medicus within Library Operations, and the other office as a Senior Medical Research Officer in the Lister Hill Center.

Detroit, Michigan, United States

I went to Wayne State University to work with Prof Michael Conrad. His speciality was simulation of evolution.

Ph.D., Computer Science

PhD Thesis was titled "Evolutinary Structure and Search"

Medical Doctor, General Medicine

M.Sc., Computer Science

I had become so fascinated by artificial intelligence by simulated evolution that I kept developing my software and theory from my bedroom.

B.A., Psychology

Activities and Societies: Yale National ScholarYale gave its students great freedom but also demanded intellectual devotion. My freshman.
