Most commercially available AI is focused on machine learning, a subfield of AI that is best suited to recognizing patterns but not understanding them. As there is no understanding, machine learning can’t explain its thinking so can’t be given autonomy in complex life-or-death situations. Our technology can embody different AI techniques, algorithms and software from any source, can run autonomously in devices like IoT all the way up to the cloud (allows you to use whatever is out there).AI applications built with our technology will be able to observe the world, reason, make recommendations and even take autonomous action. Software that can sense, reason, act & learn
