    Controversies

    However, there are some controversies surrounding Dan Mapes' background:

    • Mapes claims to have a PhD in AI from UC Berkeley, but this could not be verified by an investigator.2 Berkeley's PhD Dissertations list from 1970-1995 contained no references to Dan Mapes, and he is not found in the Alumni listing for Berkeley's Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR) Lab.2
    • The University of Cincinnati 1970 commencement program shows Mapes received a Bachelor of Business Administration (with Honors), not the Bachelor's of Science in Economics and Computer Science listed on his LinkedIn profile.2
