Marti Ward is an award-winning writer, teacher, researcher and entrepreneur known for his serial startups and his interdisciplinary work from the behavioural, cognitive, health and information sciences to environmental and robotic engineering - but he writes under several variants of his name.
Marti hasn't been into space yet, but has travelled extensively on this planet - living in half a dozen countries and speaking and reading a variety of languages with varying degrees of fluency. He hasn't yet built an AI as sophisticated as Al - but is working on it, and has around 300 publications relating to AI, Cognitive Science, Computational Linguistics and Robotics.
