As the year comes to a close, we at Lab42 look back on an eventful and inspiring journey. Just this past July, we opened our doors and have since made numerous partnerships and brought together a diverse group of over 100 teams from 40+ countries and 5 continents for the ARC challenge. It's been a thrill to witness so much talent, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for us. As we look ahead to next year, we have no doubts that there will be even more exciting developments and opportunities on the horizon. Join us on our journey through 2023!

«AI has the potential to greatly accelerate scientific discovery and benefit all of us.»

Hey, I’m Hansueli, AI Engineer at Lab42. I’ve always admired scientists who have a deep understanding of not only one but several fields of research. For me, the ability to see how seemingly unrelated things are connected and come up with encompassing theories is a true sign of ingenuity. However, being like one of the polymaths of old times is becoming increasingly more difficult and profound specialization is needed to excel in a single field. That's where I think tools we develop on the path towards Human level AI can step in and help us in connecting all the knowledge we have created to solve some of the long-standing problems of humanity.
