Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Bledsoe (November 12, 1921 – October 4, 1995) was a mathematician, computer scientist, and prominent educator. He is one of the founders of artificial intelligence, making early contributions in pattern recognition[1] and automated theorem proving.[2][3][4][5] He continued to make significant contributions to AI throughout his long career.
Bledsoe joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as an adult, and served in the church as a Bishop, counselor to the Stake Presidency, and Stake Patriarch. He also served as a leader in the Boy Scouts of America.[6][7] Bledsoe died on October 4, 1995 of ALS, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
