I'm thinking of people who are primarily AI researchers, but have also done long, serious work in philosophy.

This may be unfair of me, but I can't help but think Ben Goertzel is a counterexample.

Why - have you read his philosophy book?

No; I read years of his SL4 postings and the occasional link. Is there any reason to think his book any better?
