Summary
Toward a deeper understanding of minds, whether natural or artificial, and of how they are studied and built across AI, AGI, and cognitive science.
Minds are functional entities that enable intelligent behavior. In On Minds, Paul Rosenbloom offers reflections and perspectives on the study of minds arising from a multi-decade career focused largely on cognitive architectures—hypotheses concerning the fixed structures and processes that yield a mind, whether natural or artifici…

Critics Review
“On Minds is a personal journey of exploration to understand minds, grounded in cognitive architecture, theories of the mind, intelligence, and the supporting technologies for building minds. It is both broad and deep, clarifying the core concepts, illuminating key distinctions and their relationships, and providing insights and lessons for researchers in cognitive science, AI, and AGI.”
—John E. Laird, Professor Emeritus, University of Michigan
“Paul Rosenbloom’s memoir is a unique combination of personal journey and scientific road map. In an era of outlandish claims about the prospects of AI, Rosenbloom provides a sober yet sweeping assessment of the landscape of natural and artificial intelligence, situated in the broader framework of scientific and computing disciplines. His maxims should be mandatory reading for young scientists embarking upon their careers.”
—Christian Lebiere, Research Scientist, Carnegie Mellon University
