DISCOVER OUR MISSION
Emerging technologies and cutting-edge research are advancing at unprecedented rates. Emerging technologies like artificial generative intelligence, autonomous systems, and augmented reality. Research in areas such as cognitive neuroscience supporting multidisciplinary behavioral intervention teams and new methodologies in community resiliency.
They promise wide-ranging solutions to many of the problems our communities face, increasing efficiency and effectiveness without driving up significant costs. Yet, they remain inaccessible often to the places and communities that need it the most.
A need exists to help bridge our disconnected communities and sectors to the technologists and researchers that are building solutions.
A need exists to help communities and sectors take those solutions and translate them into localized outcomes.
​
A need exists to increase efficiency and effectiveness in organizations and communities that struggle with funding and workforce.
​
It's time to address those needs.
Bridge gaps. Connect communities. Apply research. Innovate solutions. Localize outcomes.
​​
That is our mission at SILO².
​
We work to break research and practitioner network silos to connect even the most distant communities to accessible innovations and improve systems. We seek to use new emerging technologies such as artificial generative intelligence, augmented realities, and autonomous systems to make new research and methodologies accessible and practical in areas such as behavioral threat assessment and management, human direct services, youth safety, and community resilience.
​
Social Intelligence. Local Outcomes.
​​
By increasing our capabilities, we improve our communities. By improving communities we can reduce harm, build resiliency, and create powerful outcomes.​

OUR PURPOSE

Our Purpose
The social intelligence hypothesis is a scientific hypothesis proposing that social complexity was the main selective force shaping the evolution of sophisticated intelligence and large brains in extant animals.​ It states that social complexity is cognitively demanding and is thus the key selective pressure affecting brain size and, by extension, intelligence.​
SILO² is a non-profit organization dedicated to mission of connecting emerging technologies, sophisticated bodies of work, and siloed networks of expertise to the local communities that can be impacted the most. We understand that the complexities and sophistication of humanity's intelligence is best harnessed through the collaborative spirit of community and interdisciplinary applications.
Therefore, by understanding and connecting all our varied and diverse social systems, we are in a better position to access bodies of knowledge and harness emerging technologies in social complex structures. Through this effort we can raise our overall capabilities as individuals and empower our communities to shatter silos of work and information.
It is why we call ourselves the social intelligence laboratory and through our very name remind what is the most important work; breaking apart the silos.
We are SILO² | social intelligence, local outcomes.
