Much of Cassio’s work, as well as the work of his team, will be chronicled in our AI Research Lab.

In this publication, we’ll be sharing:

Project and research areas Interim results and publications Strategy discussions Ways for the community (you!) to get involved

Note: While code and code-level issues will be on GitHub, we think this higher level forum is key for a more strategic dialogue about our research programs and goals.

“After putting common processes and methodologies in place, the AI team is already working on a number of research programs such as semantic vision, language learning, robotic perception, and reasoning. The finished products will allow us to launch a number of valuable AI services as we prepare for full scalability.” — Cassio Pennachin, SingularityNET Chief AI Officer
