Yagub Rahimov

Background

Extensive experience in AI/Machine Learning, stating, "I did my machine learning mouses (courses/masters?) in 1990 as well."
Indicates a long history in the field, noting there was "no practical out(put/let)" for ML back then.
Travels frequently for lectures and conferences (e.g., Chicago on June 13th, giving a lecture to "Charles children" - possibly a misspelling or specific group - on June 14th).
Teaches/lectures on AI, including topics like "Lord AI today. Here's how I use curser (Cursor?)."
Familiar with agricultural technology ("Agri Tech").
Appears to be 57 years old.

Founder/Creator of Polygraf.ai.
Mission: To help people and organizations use artificial intelligence (AI) safely, responsibly, and with confidence.
Core Functions:
- Detects AI-Generated Content: Analyzes text to differentiate between human-written and AI-generated content (e.g., for fake reviews, student work, news verification).
- Protects Data Privacy: Helps organizations prevent data leaks and breaches using advanced security and encryption.
- Flags Misinformation and Deepfakes: Identifies manipulated or faked content to combat online misinformation.
- Cross-Format Compatibility: Solutions work with various data types and integrate into existing systems.
- User-Friendly Tools: Offers browser extensions and web tools for easy content authenticity checks.
Overall Goal: Enhancing trust in online content, ensuring data safety, and promoting responsible AI use.

Met Gary Sheng at the Texas Venture Gala.
Engaged in a discussion about Alpha Schools' model: AI-assisted core learning in 2 hours, rest of day for passion projects.
Gary explained the goal of scaling Alpha Schools and the internal work being done.
Yagub seemed to understand the potential of identifying and supporting students early: "...basically identifying him earlier, if we need some intervent(ion) beyond like 100%. 100%. because it's like there are a lot of kids that like get stuck... like what do you do with it?"
Gary mentioned the concept of "hyperpersonalized" learning paths within Alpha, aligning with a student's "divine takes to the design" (unique talents/purpose).

AI and Faith/God: Expressed a strong and somewhat unconventional viewpoint: "AI is actually a war against the goddess. War against God. AI is against the god... because before AI, the god was, uh-"
- This statement was made after Gary shared his article on "Divine Alignment."
Believes in God, but his specific religious affiliation was not clarified, though he seemed to engage with the topic of Catholicism when Gary mentioned advising the Catholic Church.

Given his deep, long-standing expertise in AI/ML, his academic/teaching background, and his work with Polygraf.ai, he could offer valuable insights or advisory for Alpha Schools' AI-driven learning systems and responsible AI use policies.
Polygraf.ai's tools could potentially be relevant for Alpha Schools in verifying student work or ensuring the authenticity of educational content.
His interest in the practical application of AI in education could lead to further discussions or collaborations on curriculum or AI tool usage.
Could be a potential speaker or contributor to Alpha Schools' events or thought leadership, particularly on the future of AI and education, and responsible AI implementation.

Mentioned knowing/working with "Father Benante" (Bernadette?) in DC and other places on AI, who was apparently preparing something under a previous Pope.
Gary mentioned his own work advising the Catholic Church and Latter-day Saints on AI and organizational strategy.
