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.
