What’s Next in AI is Fluid Intelligence

What’s Next in AI is Fluid Intelligence

Today's AI is narrow. Applying trained models to new challenges requires an immense amount of new data training, and time.

We need AI that combines different forms
 of knowledge, unpacks causal relationships, and learns new things on its own.

In short, AI must have fluid intelligence—
and that's exactly what AI research teams are building.

Workstreams

Neurosymbolic AI

We're integrating neural and symbolic techniques to build AI that can perform complex tasks by understanding and reasoning more like we do.

AI Hardware

Our digital and analog accelerators are driving massive improvements in computational power while remaining energy-efficient.

Secure, Trusted AI

Trust and security should be baked into
the core of any AI we put out into the world. We're building tools to help you ensure that it is.

AI Engineering

We're building tools to help AI creators reduce the time they spend training, maintaining,
 and updating their models.
