So, not really the implementation side of things, then? For me, I started using the term to describe my AI/philosophy research interests because "AI" has come to be such a meaningless phrase. I hold the premise that for AI to do things as well as humans do, it will have to take on more human qualities, most notably consciousness. I also think that consciousness is a tractable problem and can be defined, modeled, and implemented. As far as I know, I have never found a single person who agrees with me on this. :)
I'm actually planning on going back for a PhD in a couple of years and of course I'm seriously considering CMU for CS or robotics, but I'm worried that it's such a practical results-driven research climate that my projects would be too spacey for them. Maybe there's a match, or maybe I'll have to look into philosophy at Pitt. What do you think of CMU CS in general?
