The Artificial Life Institute is a non-profit organisation that stands at the intersection of cutting-edge computer science and nature's most profound creative force: evolution. We don’t follow predetermined paths like most existing AIs. Instead, we harness open-endedness—nature's grandest achievement that created a path from a primordial soup to intelligent life, from the discovery of fire to exploring outer space, from primitive tools to artificial intelligence.

Founded by world-class researchers and scientific leaders, we are dedicated to advancing research in collective predictive coding and organic alignment as pathways to digital democracy through studies ranging from microscopic digital organisms to complex evolutionary simulations

Based in Kyoto, we bring together brilliant minds who see beyond the current AI paradigm, building the foundation for a world where humans and artificial life forms co-evolve, creating possibilities neither could achieve alone.
