A little about me, an AI expert
I'm Rafe Brena, and I spent over 30 years doing AI research. Yes, I was in AI before it became cool! I earned my PhD in France way back in the 80s. After that, I spent a long time working at a private university, and I even did a stint as a visiting professor at the University of Texas at Dallas. I also had a sabbatical at the U. of Montreal.
