We will combine the current Deep Learning revolution in AI with techniques derived from symbolic AI to give computers the powers of understanding and integration.

While the Strong AI Lab intends to perform and publish research of the highest, internationally competitive quality, it will also be focusing on the benefit of that research, to New Zealand and to humanity. Locally by collaboration with other researchers in New Zealand and beyond. contributing to a world-class entrepreneurial ecosystem, and globally by aiming towards a good, sustainable and fulfilling future for humanity with AI.
