[ExI] Fund raising for a master in artificial intelligence

Dear extropians;

I've been silently reading the list for a little more than two years and have benefited from it a great deal. It introduced me to transhumanism and to a score of fascinating topics, one of them being artificial intelligence. I quickly became vividly interested in that field, especially since I was already studying neurosciences at university and have always been very interested in computer sciences. 

I recently graduated in neuropsychology, and have also acquired a good background in linguistics and statistics these past few years. Then, I applied to a very interesting one-year study programme in artificial intelligence (http://www.mai.kuleuven.be/), and had the immense joy of being admitted. I'm thrilled about the perspectives it will open to me. However, this endeavor has a cost, and I'll need help to cover it. That's why I decided to open an Indiegogo fund raising campaign. Here is the link to the campaign : http://www.indiegogo.com/AI-dream .

For those who do not know about it, Indiegogo is a very well designed platform to easily set up fund raising campaigns that can grow very successful. One of the most recent and talked-about successes was the raise of more than 1 million USD to make a Tesla museum on the old Wardenclyffe site (http://www.indiegogo.com/teslamuseum). Considerable projects can get funds on this platform, and I think it might interests some people on the list, regardless of my own campaign. 

Since my interest in AI was born here, I thought about turning to the list for my first call. I thought that some of you, also interested in artificial intelligence, might be sympathetic to my cause. Especially, the "reward" I'm willing to offer might interest some of you (see the description of the campaign).

Aside of financial help, your comments could be very helpful and will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Best regards;

Jerome Renaux
