Knowledge underlies society’s potential to adapt, innovate, and flourish. Artificial intelligence and the explosion of digital information offer unprecedented opportunities to study, model, and transform the nature of human and post-human understanding, from its emergence in discovery and invention to its realization in innovation and growth.

Knowledge Lab develops novel artificial intelligence, big data, and crowdsourced approaches to:

  • Discover, harvest, and represent knowledge from humans, artifacts, and machines
  • Understand how knowledge is constructed, deployed, and destroyed
  • Recombine and generate new knowledge for new problems
  • Improve knowledge creation, management and innovation…everywhere.
