Benjamin Brast-McKie
Founder & Principal Researcher
Benjamin is a logician specializing in hyperintensional semantics and automated reasoning. He developed the Logos over the past ten years to provide a formal language of thought for AI systems to be trained to master. The Logos includes a rich collection of logical operators for systematic reasoning with tense, modal, causal, counterfactual conditional, and constitutive explanatory operators. A plugin system extends the Logos for specialized applications including epistemic, normative, free choice, spatial, and agential operators. His vision is to build AI systems that produce verified reasoning in an interpreted language for advanced applications in industry and science that can be trusted.
