AI with intellectual curiosity

We’re a research lab building intelligence that is intrinsically motivated to learn about the world.

We think superintelligence will come from scaling models that are purpose‑built to be curious.

We’ve seen general intelligence appear exactly once, and its hallmark has been curiosity: a dissatisfaction with what we already know about the world, an ability to learn from experience, and a disposition to share knowledge with other individuals. Across generations, these human traits have built modern science, technology, and culture.

We think superintelligence will come from models that work the same way: living their own experience, updating as they go, growing what they know. These models will start from what humanity knows and discover past us.

We believe that scaling intrinsically curious intelligence is a defining problem of our time. If solved, we will live to see a new era of technological advances, scientific understanding, and human flourishing.

We’re a small team based in San Francisco. We’re hiring for exceptional thinkers. If our work sounds interesting to you, leave us a note at team@inductionlabs.com.
