WBAI calls for applications for the Incentive Award to promote developments in the WBA field. The award will be given to persons who achieved a (potentially) prolific result in promoting the development of brain-inspired artificial general intelligence (AGI), with the grant of 50,000 yen (JPY) (past awardees). The detail of the call for applications follows. The award […]
Happy New Year! We at the Whole Brain Architecture Initiative (WBAI) continue to advance research and development of human brain-morphic AGI—artificial general intelligence modeled on the structure and function of the brain—toward our vision of “a world with AI in harmony with humanity.” As we enter our 11th year, we reflect on our journey thus […]
Yoshimasa Tawatsuji, Akira Taniguchi, Takeshi Nakashima, Yudai Suzuki, Yuta Ashihara, Hiroshi Yamakawa WBAI (Whole Brain Architecture Initiative) organized three major programs—a Tutorial, a Special Session, and a Workshop—at ICONIP2025 (International Conference on Neural Information Processing), held at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST). We also participated in research…
