We explore the diversity of intelligences and minds: natural, artificial and collective. By understanding the basis of intelligence in nature we are creating smarter systems, and delivering better ways of working and learning.
We work beyond faculties and disciplines to bring together diverse expertise, knowledge and skills.
Very different systems – be they animal brains, computer systems, corporations or ant swarms – face common challenges of processing complex and diverse streams of information to reach an optimal solution. Comparing and contrasting how diverse systems operate can reveal the principles behind smart decision making and intelligent behaviour.
We deliver interdisciplinary teams capable of addressing the totality of complex contemporary issues in intelligence, mind and organisational intelligence research.
Our vision is to leverage a deep understanding of the many different forms of natural intelligence to deliver smarter systems and smarter solutions to contemporary challenges in our society.
