SCIoI at a Glance

Science of Intelligence is a Cluster of Excellence of the Technische Universität Berlin. Its main objective is the study of intelligence, whether natural or artificial, whether individual, social or collective. At SCIoI, researchers examine a wide range of intelligent agents and behaviors in order to extract general principles of intelligence that will help us understand intelligence, but also create intelligent technology. Intelligence research inevitably raises ethical questions, and our goal is to understand how to address them and to understand the right methodology for intelligence research.
