The Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (abbreviated AI2) is a research institute funded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen to achieve scientific breakthroughs by constructing AI systems with reasoning, learning, and reading capabilities.[1] Oren Etzioni was appointed by Paul Allen in September 2013 to direct the research at the institute.[2][3][4]

Projects

Startup Incubator

Launched in 2015, the institute's startup incubator will try to develop technologies in the artificial intelligence field.[13]

Media coverage

AI2 was the subject of an in-depth article in The Verge.[6] Its launch was covered in Xconomy,[3] and GeekWire.[4] Allen and Etzioni co-authored an article for CNN about artificial intelligence and AI2 in December 2013.[14] AI2 has also been mentioned in other articles discussing the current state of and trends in artificial intelligence research.[15]
