We will pursue a personal intelligence that takes part in the physical world: through a robotic body and, much later, a biological body.
The direction begins with the life you preserve and extends toward new ways to experience the world.
Begin on a computer.
Develop a personal intelligence you can talk with, review and shape. An avatar gives that digital presence a visible form while keeping its identity clear.
Enter the room.
Robotic embodiment is the next physical direction: a body that perceives its surroundings, interacts with people and learns from new experiences.
Live remote operation and an AI acting through the body are different modes. The people present must know who is acting, what is recorded and how to stop it.
Go further, much later.
Biological embodiment belongs to the farthest horizon of this programme. We will pursue the scientific questions involved in connecting personal intelligence, memory and identity with a biological body.
A scene from that future: a robotic presence joins a family in the kitchen, recognizes a recipe in an approved collection and asks whether they would like help making it.
Carry your choices into every form.
New capabilities need understandable boundaries: what a presence can access, what it can do and who controls it. Physical form does not settle the question of conscious continuity.
