A non-profit research group which works on re-thinking AI as a ‘reasoning machine’. Their two goals are to develop advanced technological models and to make society able to tackle ‘intractable problems’. Their approach to technology is founded less on pattern elaboration than on the Bayes’ hypothesis, the ability of machines to work on abductive reasoning, which is the same used by the human mind. Two city-making projects model cities after interaction between experts and stakeholders, and representation is at the heart of the dialogue. For this reason, Zenna Tavares works together with his brother, Kibwe, who runs an architectural animation studio, on their idea of a sci-fi future.
