The Weekly Kickstarter: Help Give Birth to Virtual Life
Computer scientist, Steve Grand, is one of the top minds currently working in the field of artificial intelligence. His past efforts have offered modern observers fascinating insights into the realities of creating new lifeforms through explorations as diverse as teaching a robot orangutan basic language and the development of an AI life simulation in the "videogame", Creatures. This week's featured Kickstarter allows anyone to back Grand's latest work, an ambitious project that is aimed at nothing less than the birth of a new, artificial lifeform.

The Grandroids project is, in many ways, a spirtual successor to the work that Grand accomplished with 1996’s Creatures, his best known work in AI development.
