London-based AI research company building a superlearner that discovers knowledge from its own experience, using reinforcement learning, toward superintelligence.
Ineffable Intelligence is an AI research company based in London. Its stated mission is to make first contact with superintelligence by building a superlearner: a system that discovers all knowledge from its own experience, ranging from elementary motor skills to profound intellectual breakthroughs. The company's thesis is that superintelligence will be reached through learning from experience rather than from human data.
The firm's central product, Superlearner, is billed as the world's first superlearner. It is driven, in the company's description, by the world's most powerful reinforcement learning algorithms, with the aim of transcending the greatest human inventions in language, science, mathematics and technology. Technical work spans reinforcement learning, machine learning and self-supervised or autonomous knowledge discovery.
The founding team carries notable AI research pedigree: founder David Silver previously led the AlphaGo project at DeepMind. The company frames its goal in long-horizon scientific terms, comparing it to breakthroughs such as Darwin's theory of evolution. It describes itself as a research-first organisation building novel learning paradigms rather than commercial products.
