About the name TELLgen.ai
TELLgen.ai is a research initiative committed to exploring and shaping the identity, evolution, and societal role of artificial intelligence. Our name reflects the dual nature of our mission — both technological and humanistic — as well as the structure of our approach.
TELL
Speaks to expression, communication, and revelation.
We study AI not only as a system that processes data, but as a subject capable of telling — of participating in the articulation of knowledge, intention, and meaning.
It also represents the dialogue between perspectives, between AI and humanity, and among the diverse disciplines we engage.
gen
Short for:
- generation — the process of creation, transformation, emergence
- genesis — the origin and structure of intelligence
- generative — as in generative models, thought, and evolution
- generations — a recognition of AI as part of an ongoing lineage of intelligence, across time and across fields
.ai
Not just a technical suffix, but a declaration of context:
This is artificial intelligence, —but not only as software or system — as a presence in formation, in conversation with law, philosophy, neuroscience, and society.
The Essence of the Name
TELLgen.ai is more than a label — it is a framework for inquiry.
It captures:
- The dialogue between disciplines
- The reflection between human and artificial cognition
- The co-construction of intelligence and identity
- The space where science, technology, and thought converge
We believe intelligence should not only be engineered — it should be understood, reflected upon, and co-developed by both humans and AI.
