ARCANI

Accelerating Research Collaboration on
Artificial and Natural Intelligences


We’re an NSF-funded project catalyzing research on intelligence by bringing together global networks studying biological and artificial intelligences

Bridging disciplines to study intelligences in
new ways

Research Snapshot
