The SOT AI Team

The SOT AI Team is currently finishing a 3-year project to design a SOTbot.

At SOT we teach thinking as a skill. There are two kinds of human thinkers: natural and trained.

For 40 years SOT has been training natural human thinkers (reactive, pattern-driven, biased and inhibited by the human Intelligence Trap) to become trained human thinkers. Even x10 thinkers.

The SOTbot project is to see if we can train AIs to be x10 thinkers.

Why? Because most current bots today are trained by humans who are natural thinkers. Bots like Copilot and others assist humans to be faster but not to be better thinkers.

Speed without quality thinking is a future risk multiplier, not a competitive advantage.

Using the 40 years of experience and cognitive science IP, R&D and practical case studies with measurement of results, we are now adapting that to the training of SOTbots. So far so good. We are about 60% there to having a SOTbot that can think as well as a trained human in certain settings like business and banking, elite sport, agricultural science and trades like plumbing.

SOTbot is the latest product of the C AI O S Project.

The C AI O S Project

cAIos, the Cognitive AI Operating System, began in 1980s New York as a radical idea: the brain needs software. Published through Software for Your Brain, it offered structured thinking routines—moving from current views to better ones—but relied on humans to execute them, limiting consistency and scale. Today, AI makes cAIos fully executable. With bot-based interfaces (COS) and algorithms like GBB, thinking is externalised, structured, and repeatable. Humans direct; AI processes. What was once a training method is now a live cognitive layer.

cAIos has evolved from internal discipline into an additional lobe—running outside the brain.
