Yoshihiro Maruyama is a Lecturer at the Research School of Computer Science, Australian National University. Yoshihiro did his D.Phil. at the University of Oxford, and held Hakubi Assistant Professorship at Kyoto University, prior to joining ANU. He works on formal logic, foundations of mathematics, category theory (esp. categorical duality), foundations of artificial intelligence and quantum physics, and philosophy of all that. His work is interdisciplinary, his publications span the disciplines of philosophy and mathematics. His ultimate goal is to revive Natural Philosophy in contemporary form, thus pursuing the Unity of Science in a way coherent with Scientific Pluralism, which might possibly contribute to the Unity of Society (whilst keeping its Plurality or Diversity) as
well. His recent interests in AI include Explainable AI, Responsible AI, and Integrated AI (esp. the categorical integration of Symbolic and Statistical AI), as well as traditional issues such as Turing-type tests, Chinese rooms, frame problems, symbol grounding problems, technological singularity, weak vs. strong AI, and AGI. Besides these, he is fascinated by the idea of Pancomputationalism, a computational theory of everything (or every process in Nature).
