Artificial Intelligence
Working across disciplines to deliver on AI’s promise
We’ve engaged in AI research for more than 50 years, creating and delivering world-changing advances like the first mobile robot with the ability to perceive and reason, commercial-quality speech recognition, and the Siri virtual personal assistant.
Today, AI technology — and the creation of new AI technology — are core to the research of many groups across SRI. Our researchers collaborate to build systems that sense, model, and learn to create ever more capable applications. Our approach is human-centered, emphasizing system transparency and explainability to address the critical issues of predictability and reliability of AI-based systems. Contact us to learn more.
