Vigorously demonstrating the relevance of reasoning to important moral problems, the participants in this dialogue resist the temptations of strident emotional appeal in an effort to present the most honorable and intellectually sophisticated sides of their arguments. This effort leads them to consideration of ante-bellum slavery, to a comparison of the notions of absolute truth in ethics versus mathematics, and to constructive discussions of genetics, artificial intelligence, euthanasia, personal identity, human sexuality, and Roe v. Wade.

Bringsjord"s education includes a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania and a Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy from Brown University.
He also holds an appointment in the Lally School of Management & Technology and teaches artificial Intelligence (Artificial Intelligence), formal logic, human and machine reasoning, and philosophy of Artificial Intelligence. He conducts research in Artificial Intelligence as the director of the Rensselaer Artificial Intelligence & Reasoning Laboratory (RAIR). He specializes in the logico-mathematical and philosophical foundations of Artificial Intelligence and cognitive science, and in collaboratively building Artificial Intelligence systems on the basis of computational logic. Bringsjord believes that "the human mind will forever be superior to Artificial Intelligence", and that "much of what many humans do for a living will be better done by indefatigable machines who require not a cent in pay".
Bringsjord has stated that the "ultimate growth industry will be building smarter and smarter such machines on the one hand, and philosophizing about whether they are truly conscious and free on the other".
Bringsjord has an argument for P = Natural Philosophy using digital physics. Other research includes developing a new computational-logic framework allowing the formalization of deliberative multi-agent "mindreading" as applied to the realm of nuclear strategy, with the goal of creating a model and simulation to enable reliable prediction.
He has published an opinion piece advocating for counter-terrorism security ensured by pervasive, all-seeing sensors. Automated reasoners; and autonomous, lethal robots.
