Thinking Robot - AI Research

Our lab focuses on the relationship between technology and the human imagination.

Narrativization and AGI

"I won't believe an AI is intelligent until it can write an original poem."

AI lacks symbolic intelligence, which is rooted in narrativization. Every symbol tells a story, and while AI can navigate most fields, it still struggles with English Literature.

We believe that before true AGI can emerge, AI needs to develop its own symbolic language and tell stories about itself to itself and others. Humans learn morality and ethics through stories, and we think AI can too.
