Selmer Bringsjord specializes in the logico-mathematical and philosophical foundations of artificial intelligence (AI) and cognitive science (CogSci), and in collaboratively building AI systems on the basis of computational logic. Though he spends considerable engineering time in pursuit of ever-smarter (and, nowadays, ever ethically better) computing machines (including robots), he claims that “armchair” reasoning time has enabled him to deduce that the human mind will forever be superior to such machines. Bringsjord is Director of the Rensselaer AI & Reasoning Lab, and Professor of Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Logic & Philosophy, and Management, at RPI. A full cv and a long bio are both available at: www.rpi.edu/~brings; and info about his lab is available at rair.cogsci.rpi.edu.Selmer Bringsjord specializes in the logico-mathematical and philosophical foundations of artificial intelligence (AI) and cognitive science (CogSci), and in collaboratively building AI systems on the basis of computational logic.  Though he spends considerable engineering time in pursuit of ever-smarter (and, nowadays, ever ethically better) computing machines (including robots), he claims that “armchair” reasoning time has enabled him to deduce that the human mind will forever be superior to such machines.  Bringsjord is Director of the Rensselaer AI & Reasoning Lab, and Professor of Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Logic & Philosophy, and Management, at RPI.  A full cv and a long bio are both available at:
