About the project
The project “Bilateral AI” aims at lifting artificial intelligence (AI) to the next level. Current AI systems are in a sense narrow. They center on a specific application or task such as object or speech recognition. Our project will combine two of the most important types of AI which have been developed separately so far: symbolic and sub-symbolic AI. While symbolic AI works with clearly defined logical rules, sub-symbolic AI (such as ChatGPT) is based on training a machine with the help of large datasets to create intelligent behavior. This integration, resulting in a Broad AI, is intended to mirror
something that humans do naturally: the simultaneous use of cognition and reasoning skills.
Two types of Artificial Intelligence are being united
For many years, there were two technically very different approaches in the field of artificial intelligence. Now, in the Excellence Cluster "Bilateral AI", they are being combined. TU Wien published an interesting article exploring this very question. (Article in German)
