Craig Lee Wolfe

Craig Lee Olumide Wolfe was a British-American computer scientist and software engineer who served as the Director Administrator of Computer Science for Seaboard.

## Early Life

Craig Olumide was born on 10 September 1987 in Birmingham, UK. His parents were immigrants from Nigeria, prioritizing his education, and he was tested and determined to be a highly intelligent child. Even at a young age, he was devoted to various types of science and information, and was highly invested in various science-fiction books, movies, and television shows.

At 14 years old, Wolfe helped program ScigeekMania, a type of forum that became viral in 2001 and 2002. It helped connect fans of various science-fiction media. It became a highly unregulated forum for all types of discussion, and eventually became far different than what Wolfe originally intended, being rampant in personal affairs, cyberbullying, and as a whole what Wolfe thought of as being "toxic". He made the decision to shut the site down late in 2002.

Gaining attraction from many universities, he enrolled in a highly reputable institution, funded entirely by a grant from the school at the age of 16.

## Work on Artificial Intelligence

During his time in university, Wolfe contributed to many fields of computer science and artificial intelligence. In his early 20s, Wolfe helped a team of software engineers create a new type of Neural Network, which showed that computers could process and analyze information in ways never seen before. While it was important, Wolfe thought that it meant nothing on its own. Funded by the university he attended, Wolfe began to develop a language processing system. He looked to the rise in smart phones as a prime source of input, and was able to use datamining to extract a near infinite sample size of human communication. This was the second part in Wolfe's long-term plan, one that he believed could earn him a Nobel prize and change humanity.

Wolfe and his colleagues applied the language processing system to their neural network, which created an engaging AI. While it was natural and could replicate human conversation quite well, it still lacked any function other than technology demonstration. Inspired by simulation and open-world video games, Wolfe oversaw the development of a program that emulated an identical copy of his campus. He introduced the AI, which read and processed the design of all buildings. Once it had a foundation of modern architecture, the AI was able to generate new building plans and blueprints based on a prior conversation with the AI. This program was turned into an application for architects. However, the program never saw the attraction Wolfe hoped. Although Wolfe maintained the program was a mockup demonstration for what was just the beginning, his university pulled funding from his project and disbanded his team. Since he had no finances, he couldn't continue the project on his own.

After gaining his PhD, Wolfe still couldn't market his ideas, and set them aside. He was hired by the government to work as a defense software engineer. Wolfe stuck to what he was asked of in the beginning, which prioritized AI facial recognition in identifying suspects in the rise of global terrorism. The process proved long, tedious, and yielded results that were so varied that they couldn't be conclusive enough to be implemented. Wolfe thought he could completely change the way the process worked, however. In 2013, he was able to create an AI that automated his entire job, feeding programming languages into it so that it could create its own programs in a controlled manner. Wolfe pulled the coding for programs in other departments, feeding them through his AI, giving them the ability to read, write, and generate new code on their own. While he saw this as a major breakthrough, his actions were quickly seen as a major security violation.

Wolfe was fired from his position, and it became clear he may face criminal charges because of his violations. After his residence was raided by British officials, it was found that he had copies of top secret military programs that he downloaded for himself to work on. He was promptly arrested, being charged with espionage and potentially facing life in prison. Miraculously, he was allowed bail, although it cost millions, far outside Wolfe's budget. Despite this, the amount was paid anonymously in cash. After his bail was made, Wolfe was approached by Michael Sisk, the CEO of Seaboard Technologies. Sisk had paid his bail and the court, allowing him the option in the first place. He requested that Wolfe flee to the United States, where he would work for Sisk and resume the project he dreamed of, funded entirely by Sisk with a team under his supervision. Wolfe was hesitant, given the odd situation, but was reminded that should he refuse, he'll be sentenced to prison for a long time. Without a choice, Wolfe conceded. He left to the United States in 2014, where he stayed, being given a new identity as an African-American with the surname Wolfe.
