Exploit insights unearthed through the scientific investigation of the toughest human problems.
Proven scientific performance
Précis
Dr. Trujillo’s methodological expertise — as evinced by his 30-plus peer reviewed publications — comprises phenomenology, cybernetics, cognitive analysis, and existential psychotherapy. His scientific work exhibits basic human phenomena — including thinking, intelligence, common sense, conscientiousness, and teams — in advanced technologies and high risk systems. The program also discerns the cognitive operations commonly specified for computational simulation (AI).
Public
Dr. Trujillo has presented his research at universities and research institutions in the US and EU. He regularly serves as a reviewer for Springer Nature Discover Artificial Intelligence, AI & Society, AI and Ethics, and Scientific Reports.
Progress
Dr. Trujillo’s scientific milestones include (1) the design of a team model responding to NASA human requirements for prolonged deep spaceflight (2019); (2) a propositional solution to the interpretation of the collapse of the quantum wave function (2020); (3) two AI axioms — (a) “machines do not exist” and (b) “a machine is intelligent if it contains the basic elements of a system — and one corollary: “the measure of a machine’s intelligence corresponds to the scope of its equifinality” (2021); (4) a phenomenological diagnosis of the DARPA Machine Common Sense (MCS) program (2023); and (5) the invention of the sobriquet, “Dark Intelligence,” to mitigate presuppositions that appear to be belying AI (2025). He is currently investigating the correlation of common sense with entropy (the arrow of time) and possible correspondences between the fractal structure of common sense discovered by his research and the prospect of fractal AI envisaged by computational scientists.
