Our goal is to build the brains, i.e., the continual-learning AI
software, that will let everyday things that sense and act get smarter,
more skilled, and more knowledgeable over time with experience. This
experience will be shared across things and across domains to allow the
rapid scaling-up of experience-based learning. In short, we aim to
become the world leader in continual learning.
