METATOOL-PROJECT

Studying human awareness to revolutionize AI: enhancing prediction, metacognition, and creativity.

The invention of the first stone tools nearly two million years ago was a technological milestone for human civilization. The history of technology is one of prediction, metacognition, abstraction, and the creativity of the human mind. Today’s artificial intelligence (AI) creations lack these features. The EIC-funded METATOOL project aims to take a revolutionary step by studying human awareness and developing a way to implement it in computational models. This technological push would offer artificial intelligence the capability to evaluate and improve and provide numerous benefits, especially in terms of automation.
