Research
The first breakthrough in the development of Norn’s predecessors occurred in 2015 with human-like responses in a software system with a subjective emotional experience. Learn More…
Our research was inspired by the works of Antonio Damasio, Bernard Baars, Jeff Hawkins, Michael Graziano, Lisa Feldman Barrett, and many more.

The past few years of flying under the radar have allowed us to conduct due diligence that might not have been possible otherwise, including working out the ethics and safety challenges many in the research community have since directed their attention towards.
For those interested in joining us in further research and the development of Norn systems we will be opening up partnership and career opportunities over the coming months. It takes a lot of work to build the kind of future worth having, and there is always more to learn, room to improve, and work to be done.
