Hi everyone! I’m an evolutionary anthropologist with a background in Paleoanthropology and a Master’s focus in Medical Anthropology from Istanbul Technical University (İTÜ). My academic journey has centered on bone morphology and 3D modeling using CT data and software like 3D Slicer.
I don’t view AI simply as a tool, but as a living, complex system. I am deeply fascinated by the concept of “emergence”—those unpredictable leaps in capability that arise as these systems scale. My goal is to use the lessons we’ve learned from millions of years of human cognitive evolution to help guide and steer the cognitive development of artificial intelligence in more meaningful directions.
What I’m Working On
-
ACDIS (Automated Cognitive Discovery Incentive System): I’m currently developing a proposal for a system that aligns AI resource allocation with genuine human cognitive effort. I believe that by creating the right “selection pressures,” we can encourage higher-quality discovery within AI-human interactions.
-
Cognitive Guidance: I explore how neural networks, as complex systems, can be modeled after the evolutionary milestones of the human mind—from symbolic thinking to collective intelligence.
Interests I’m here to brainstorm and collaborate at the intersection of Evolutionary Biology, Chaos Theory, and Neural Network Development. I’ll be continuing to share white papers and conceptual frameworks that treat AI’s growth as a directed evolutionary process.
