How We're Different

• We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science.
• We work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts.
• We value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles.
• We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science.
• We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time.
• The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research.
