About Us
Meet the Team
Our team began as collection of researchers and engineers spanning a variety of backgrounds, political perspectives, and research objectives, all converging upon a common purpose and volunteering our time to work together towards that brighter future. We are here today because of everyone who volunteered their time to make AGI technology a reality over the past few years, and working as a collective we’ve seen the value that comes from the contrast of different perspectives countless times.
Today we are a collective of those who chose to volunteer, but in the days ahead the diversity of perspective represented by our team will continue to grow as our team grows larger and more diverse in turn.
