Joseph Halpern

Joseph Halpern is a prominent computer scientist and philosopher known for his work in artificial intelligence, formal reasoning, and logic. He develops mathematical frameworks to analyze how agents—such as robots or software—make decisions under uncertainty, incomplete information, or when considering possible future events. His research helps improve the design of intelligent systems, ensuring they can reason, plan, and act reliably in complex or unpredictable environments. Halpern’s work bridges logic, computer science, and philosophy, providing foundational tools for advancing autonomous systems and understanding decision-making processes.
