Sony Computer Science Laboratories (Sony CSL) was established in 1988 to pioneer new research fields and paradigms, as well as new technologies and businesses, for the good of humanity, society and our planet. Sony CSL empowers its researchers with the freedom to explore creative and imaginative research, with the goal of contributing to a better future. As of 2025, Sony CSL is engaged in a wide range of research themes across its laboratories in Tokyo, Paris, Kyoto and Rome. These areas of focus include social issues such as ecosystems, urban planning, and the augmentation of human capabilities and creativity. Sony CSL strives to channel the fruits of its research back into society.

At Sony CSL, each researcher sets his or her own goals and conducts independent research. All research findings are published under the individual researcher’s name. This approach stems from Sony CSL’s belief that research is essentially a voluntary endeavor undertaken by individuals or groups driven by their own free will, with the institute serving as a platform to support this process. Sony CSL researchers strive to change the world through their research activities. Researchers with diverse “worldviews” inspire one another, create new research fields and paradigms, develop new technologies and businesses, and ultimately contribute to the future of humanity and our planet.
