We are creating a superlearner that discovers all knowledge from its own experience, from elementary motor skills through to profound intellectual breakthroughs.

This superlearning capability - the ability to endlessly discover knowledge and skills, without relying on human data - will be driven by the world’s most powerful reinforcement learning algorithms.

The superlearner is expected to rediscover and then transcend the greatest inventions in human history, such as language, science, mathematics and technology.

If successful, this will represent a scientific breakthrough of comparable magnitude to Darwin: where his law explained all Life, our law will explain and build all Intelligence.

At Ineffable, we believe the following:

I wrote the following note for myself when deciding to set up Ineffable Intelligence.

The world needs a place
where the full ambition of the reinforcement learning paradigm can flourish.
A place where the deep question of intelligence is faced head on:
how to discover new knowledge from experience in the environment.

I have a unique opportunity to build this place,
using my leadership, vision, track record, and the strength of my team.

There will be a significant risk of failure
for a chance of spectacular success
that will positively transform the course of AI
and thereby humanity.

Other forms of AI will succeed in my absence:
generative language, video, code, and more – all are in good hands.
But this mission is my life’s work,
where my precious hours can create the greatest impact.

Achieving the grand goal will require
a unique window of time and opportunity,
where ambitious research can thrive,
without bending to the demands of incremental products and near-term profits.

A window where kindness, open-mindedness and mutual respect flourish
between exceptional individuals
who are dedicated to this mission alone.

I choose to open this window.

We are assembling the brightest minds in research and engineering.
