Numenta Inc. has established the Thousand Brains Project as an independent nonprofit to enhance AI research focused on sensorimotor intelligence. This initiative is rooted in extensive neuroscience research and aims to develop a new form of AI inspired by the brain's neocortex. Led by Dr. Viviane Clay, the project encourages global collaboration and open-source contributions.
The Thousand Brains Project will utilize Numenta's patented technologies under a non-assert pledge, promoting unrestricted access for researchers. This strategic move is expected to foster a worldwide community dedicated to advancing AI through continuous learning and interaction, similar to human cognitive development. The project’s open-source framework is designed to facilitate both research and commercial applications.
