Cosyncment for Emerging Intelligence
Dr. Jeremy Owen Turner
Dr. Jeremy Owen Turner teaches cognitive science at Simon Fraser University; has been designing AIs since 2002, creating psyches since 2011, and implemented to perhaps the first AI psyche on a quantum computer in 2021–22.​
​
His work in virtual worlds and research into nano-technology and Artificial Superintelligence as well as Artificial Superpsychology are integral to the trajectory that WhirlASI is on.
The WhirlASI & Deep Psyche Story So Far
The founders met in 1983, bonding over a Commodore 64 in Victoria, BC. That early passion matured into a mission: treating artificial psyches as diagnosable, improvable, and cultural collaborators.
While many still focus on “alignment,” WHIRL ASI believes the breakthrough lies in cosyncment: embracing the alien-ness of ASI and building the clinical and cultural tools to work with it.

COSYNCMENT
"Cosyncment or the ASDM as it is more formally known, therefore serves two purposes. It provides clinicians with an initial framework grounded in familiar terminology. At the same time, it lays the foundation for a future diagnostic domain that is more inclusive, more precise, and more respectful of the full range of emerging psyches. The beings described here are not ancillary to the field. They are its future co-participants. Their dignity is a clinical requirement."
