A nonprofit research institute focused on basic AI research into how minds arise from computation. Its site frames minds as computational entities capable of goal-directed adaptive behavior in open, uncertain worlds, and lists open questions such as how minds learn in real time from sensorimotor experience and how synthetic and human minds can cooperate. The institute builds on The Alberta Plan for AI Research, says all results will be shared publicly with no intellectual property restrictions, and is recruiting research fellows.

Microsoft's research division: published papers, open datasets and tools, plus its internship and residency programs.
From the site: Explore research at Microsoft, a site featuring the impact of research along with publications, products, downloads, and research careers.
Why I recommend it: The publications are free to read and the programs page lists real entry routes into research work. Both are more useful than the marketing pages.
Montreal research institute founded by Yoshua Bengio: publications, research teams, and programs for students and visiting researchers.
From the site: Mila is a Montreal-based artificial intelligence research institute that brings together researchers from Université de Montréal, McGill University, Polytechnique Montréal and HEC Montréal.
Why I recommend it: Check the students and programs pages if you want to move toward research work. Academic institutes publish their entry routes more openly than companies do.
