Stefan Trausan-Matu is professor at the Computer Science Department of the N.S.T. University Politehnica Bucharest (UPB) and scientific researcher I at the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of the Romanian Academy. He is also the head of the Computer-Supported Collaborative Knowledge Construction (K-Teams) Laboratory in Precis, which includes 8 PhD researchers, more than 10 PhD students, and about 10 master students performing research since 2007 in many AI Natural Language Processing (NLP) projects. His research domains are artificial intelligence, natural language processing, discourse analysis, creativity, philosophy, ethics, religion-science dialogue, music, and e-learning.

AI should be human-centered, considering the interdisciplinary aspects, oriented to empowering human specific features (creativity, intuition, understanding, consciousness), considering humanities (philosophy, psychology, ethics, aesthetics, and art), and integrating symbolic and connectionist (deep neural networks) paradigms.
