About the project
The project “Bilateral AI” aims at lifting artificial intelligence (AI) to the next level. Current AI systems are in a sense narrow. They center on a specific application or task such as object or speech recognition. Our project will combine two of the most important types of AI which have been developed separately so far: symbolic and sub-symbolic AI. While symbolic AI works with clearly defined logical rules, sub-symbolic AI (such as ChatGPT) is based on training a machine with the help of large datasets to create intelligent behavior. This integration, resulting in a Broad AI, is intended to mirror
something that humans do naturally: the simultaneous use of cognition and reasoning skills.
Rousseeuw Prize for Statistics for Bilateral AI Researcher Kurt Hornik
BilAI key researcher Kurt Hornik has been awarded the US$1 million Rousseeuw Prize for Statistics together with his international colleagues. This foundational research in statistical learning contributes to Bilateral AI's vision of combining symbolic AI with machine learning to lay the foundations…
