Kontos Artificial Intelligence Professor John Kontos reviews some recent research in his field and particularly in the subfields that promote the technologies of Machine Consciousness and Computational Creativity that are inspired by Human Consciousness and Human Creativity. Most of the topics reviewed were mentioned in Poly Kasda’s Greek book of the eighties entitled “The Conscious Eye”, published herein in an English adaptation. It is envisaged that this book will contribute to the development of the emerging interdisciplinary fields of Machine Consciousness and Computational Creativity as well as of the wider field of interaction between Artificial Intelligence and Art. Professor John Kontos has published research papers and educational texts in many areas of Artificial Intelligence including: Man-machine Interaction, Question Answering, Causal Reasoning, Diegesis Analysis, Machine learning, Artificial Discovery and Machine Consciousness. “The “needling” of my Conscious Eye with darts of fresh A.I. info was an evolving language game through teledialogues with John prompting me to be more alert to my own information processing! “.
