The AI Roadmap Institute is a new initiative to collate and study various AI and general AI roadmaps proposed by those working in the field. It will map the space of AI skills and abilities: research topics, open problems, and proposed solutions. There are currently two categories of roadmaps: - research and development, or how to get us to general AI - Safety/Futuristic - which explore how to keep humanity safe and the years after general AI is reached.
The institute is concerned with ‘big picture’ thinking. The amount of research into AI has exploded over the last few years, with many papers on AI development appearing daily. The institute's major output will be consolidating this research into a single visual summary. The summary highlights aspects of AI development, AI ethics and safety where solutions exist or are needed, outlines the similarities and differences among roadmaps, stages which need to be addressed by new research, branching and converging of roadmaps, and examples of AI skills and testable milestones. This visual roadmap summary will be constantly updated, with the roadmaps described by the institute in an implementation agnostic manner.
The institute is open for the scientific community and everyone will be invited to contribute. Other research groups can take inspiration from or suggest new milestones and branches for the roadmaps.
