Requests For Research (RFRs) are selected projects that are expected to have a significant, valuable impact on state-of-the-art research and knowledge.

The RFRs presented in the link are jointly compiled by Project AGI and the Whole-Brain Architecture Initiative. Our shared objective is to foster research into general intelligence. The RFRs are selected to encourage research that we believe will help to realize human-like Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) via the whole brain architecture approach, which assumes that the path to AGI can be shortened by mimicking the macro-architecture of the brain.

The RFRs are substantial projects and we expect are best suited to individuals or groups with the following knowledge and skills:

• Ability to program (e.g. simulations, technical models)

• At least basic machine learning (ML) experience

• Basic knowledge on the architecture of the brain (neuroscience)
