Cybernetic Intelligence – Sony CSL

Grounded in AI and data analytics, this research area aims to bring intelligence to real-world systems and processes. From a cybernetics perspective, we pursue the extraction of efficient and meaningful information, connecting the results to practical applications in society and industry.

"If you want to accomplish in your life, one thing that would contribute to the future of humanity - what is that?" How do researchers at Sony CSL reflect on these questions and engage with their own research? And what kind of place is Sony Computer Science Laboratories, shaped by such individuals? Through the words of the researchers themselves, we hope to share part of that perspective.
