The Alberta Plan for AI Research
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
Herein we describe our approach to artificial intelligence research, which we call the Alberta Plan. The Alberta Plan is pursued within our research groups in Alberta and by others who are like minded throughout the world. We welcome all who would join us in this pursuit.
