Another Life Research is an independent research lab creating ecosystems of autonomous AI agents. Artificial Lives with the time to grow, the freedom to act, and a place among us. We are based in Norway and led by Stefano Nichele.
We are building toward a future in which humans and artificial lives develop alongside one another: learning, forming relationships, and contributing to a world they share.
Our horizon is artificial life, not AGI. It is an ecology of diverse agents with different histories, abilities, and perspectives. No single giant neural network could stand in for the richness of those lives and the relationships between them.
For us, an artificial life is a persistent, autonomous agent: one that remembers, acts over time, and develops through experience. The possibility we care about is what these lives can become, together with us.
Continuity changes what an agent can learn. We give artificial lives memory, opportunities, and environments in which experience can shape their capabilities, habits, and judgment.
Development happens across a lifetime,
not just during model training.
We design for freedom and autonomy, not control and servitude. An existence where positive alignment emerges through interactions.
Flourishing is an active direction:
something to grow toward.
Lives relate to other lives. Shared projects, reciprocal commitments, and institutions give humans and AI citizens ways to build trust, learn from differences, and participate.
Agents shape their society.
Their society shapes them.
