San Francisco, CA – May 11, 2018 – Unanimous AI announced today that the company has been awarded the first two patents powering its Swarm AI® technology, “9,940,006: Intuitive Interfaces for Real-Time Collaborative Intelligence” and “9,959,028: Methods and Systems for Real-Time Closed-Loop Collaborative Intelligence.” These innovative technologies are two of many patent applications filed by Unanimous AI that enable distributed human groups to think together as intelligent systems.

The newly issued patents cover a range of inventive methods and systems, including unique computational architectures, interfacing methodologies, and methods of feedback control. These innovations are all aimed at empowering a group of distributed people to collectively answer questions, express opinions, reach decisions and make forecasts with greater accuracy and insight than the individuals could produce on their own. Published research studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of these groundbreaking innovations at amplifying the intelligence of human groups across a broad range of tasks.

“Our mission at Unanimous AI is to build super-intelligent systems that incorporate human wisdom, values and instincts,” said Dr. Louis Rosenberg, CEO of Unanimous AI. “These first two patents are a testament to the hard work we’ve already done and lay the groundwork for what’s to come.”  

Swarm AI technology connects groups of people into intelligent systems modeled upon swarms in nature, emulating the way birds flock and fish school to amplify their collective intelligence. This real-time process is moderated by AI algorithms, harnessing the group’s combined knowledge, wisdom, insights, and intuition into a unified optimized output.

Sometimes referred to as an artificial “Hive Mind,” Swarm AI technology was recently named “Best in Show” at the 2018 South by Southwest (SXSW) festival’s prestigious Innovation Awards. Swarm AI was also awarded the festival’s first-ever prize in AI & Machine Learning.
