Open Cybernetics is a research and technology organization developing unconventional approaches to artificial intelligence and wireless communication. It applies information theory and AI research to practical solutions, including algorithms and implementations designed for field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs).

Its Future-G work focuses on erasure codes, error correction, and lossless compression to support more efficient, reliable, and scalable data transmission. In AI, the organization explores biologically inspired architectures that move beyond backpropagation, emphasizing sparse activation and local learning. These approaches are intended to enable adaptable, efficient systems, particularly for edge applications.

Open Cybernetics’ mission is to make technology more accessible to communities and startups by reducing technological asymmetries. It seeks to translate research into innovations that support a more connected and equitable world. The organization works with researchers, engineers, startups, and other partners through research collaborations and technology co-development. Its publications examine topics including information chaining, technology distribution, and open-source AI, reflecting its interest in how technical choices can shape markets and access to innovation.
