Neuro-symbolic AI
We see Neuro-symbolic AI as a pathway to achieve artificial general intelligence. By augmenting and combining the strengths of statistical AI, like machine learning, with the capabilities of human-like symbolic knowledge and reasoning, we're aiming to create a revolution in AI, rather than an evolution.
