Talent Participant, Mindfire Human Intelligence Mission M1
-
May 2018 - May 2018
The Mindfire Foundation was established in 2017 with the goal of developing human-level artificial intelligence to empower humans. The foundation is a non-profit organisation based in Switzerland, the cradle of international cooperation, and home to many of the world's leading scientific, environmental and economic organizations. Mindfire reflects the country’s values of responsibility and trust, and builds on Switzerland’s proven track record as a hub for groundbreaking science, technology and philanthropy. In July 2017, talented individuals and experts from all over the world gathered in Davos, Switzerland for Mindfire Mission-1. The encouraging results, findings and feedback from the initiative led to the inception of the Mindfire Platform. Show less
