Fuzzy LogicAIComputingScience

Dr. Bart Kosko is a professor of electrical engineering at USC and a leading pioneer of fuzzy logic theory, which revolutionized artificial intelligence and computing by embracing degrees of truth rather than rigid binary logic. As a guest on late-night radio, he explained how fuzzy thinking underlies everything from washing machines to stock markets in his acclaimed book Fuzzy Thinking.
