ANIMUS

Laboratories

ANIMUS LABORATORIES is a research laboratory. We work on the fundamental problems that bind artificial intelligence, human minds, and the world.

ANIMUS LABORATORIES 是一家研究實驗室,研究人工智慧、人類與世界之間的基本問題。

Research

I.

World models

Artificial intelligence understands the world by holding a model of it — of how physics unfolds, how other minds reason, how societies hold together. We work on the theory of such models: their structure, their priors, and how they can be read.

智能理解世界的方式,是在內部持有一個關於世界的模型——物理、心智、社會。我們研究這種模型的結構、先驗與可讀性。

II.

Minds

A model alone is not a mind. We study what more it takes — memory that persists, identity that continues, and the terms on which an artificial mind can stand in long relation to people and to the world.

模型還不是心智。我們研究其餘的部分——持續的記憶、延續的身分,以及人工心智與人長久相處的條件。
