Ineffable Intelligence is an AI research company based in London, UK. It is building a superlearner: a learning system designed to discover all knowledge from its own experience, ranging from elementary motor skills to intellectual breakthroughs. The system is driven by reinforcement learning algorithms rather than human data, which the company argues is the route to superintelligence.
The company's technical work spans reinforcement learning, artificial general intelligence, self-supervised and experiential learning, and machine learning research more broadly. It describes the superlearner as the world's first of its kind, and frames the underlying scientific question as comparable in magnitude to Darwin's theory of evolution.
The venture is led by founder David Silver, who previously led the AlphaGo project at DeepMind. Its stated mission is to make first contact with superintelligence, and it operates as a mission-driven, research-focused organisation. Further details, including funding and team size, are not publicly disclosed.
