Ai (born in 1976) is a female chimpanzee currently living at the Primate Research Institute of Kyoto University (acronym KUPRI). She is known for being the principal subject of the Ai project, a research program started in 1978 by Tetsuro Matsuzawa[1] which is aimed at understanding chimpanzee cognition through computer interface experiments.[2] The Ai project includes tests for numerical competency, color-to-symbol matching ability, and audio-to-image matching and recognition. Over the years, the Ai project has grown to include a 14-member community of chimpanzees (including Ai's son, Ayumu, born 2000) who reside in a state-of-the-art facility at KUPRI.
