NSF AI Institute for
Artificial and Natural Intelligence
What are the algorithms of Intelligence?
The NSF AI Institute for Artificial and Natural Intelligence (ARNI) connects a decade of progress in AI to the revolution in our understanding of the brain. ARNI meets the urgent need for new paradigms of interdisciplinary research between neuroscience and AI. We pursue both theoretical and use-inspired work that will accelerate progress in both fields, and broaden their transformative impact on society in the next decade.
