Long-term Planning & Analysis

Will AI be able to plan and reason like us?

Field Overview

Our Long-term Planning & Analysis research investigates how AI systems can develop sophisticated reasoning capabilities for complex, multi-step problem solving. We explore how machines can think strategically about the future and make decisions with long-term consequences.

This research focuses on creating AI that can understand temporal relationships, anticipate outcomes, and develop comprehensive strategies that span extended time horizons.
