Tired of people trying to sell you disappointing "AI solutions"?

Don't waste money and time on fake AI. The recent explosion in AI is affecting every aspect of industry, government, and defense. But unfortunately, it also means an explosion in supposed AI experts, accompanied by startups and products created by people who don't understand the risks and how to ensure proper AI development practices.

Our clients are frustrated. The landscape of contemporary AI is overwhelming. You want to reap the benefits of AI in your organizations, but don't have time to thoroughly evaluate every single product out there. (And many of them are, honestly, quite bad.) That's where we come in.

We are AI experts with years of experience testing, developing, and thoroughly evaluating AI systems. We are actively involved in state-of-the-art research, so we know what current technologies can and can't do. Led by Dr. John Licato, a professor of computer science and director of an academic AI research lab, our team will do the research and de-mystify AI for you.

If you're considering using, purchasing, or acquiring an AI product, we can provide you with an in-depth analysis first. Our unbiased and thorough investigation will provide you with a report that pierces beyond the hype and marketing, and gives you an accurate assessment of what you're dealing with.

We can help you evaluate:

Does it do what it claims?

The landing page for the AI product sounds good, and the demos are impressive, but does it actually work? Or is it just a shallow wrapper around ChatGPT that will be outdated in a week? We'll rigorously test the AI, or design tests for you to use so you can be sure you're getting what you pay for.

Is it safe?

Those new to AI are often unfamiliar with the fact that generative AI is prone to hallucination, bias, unreliability, inconsistency, and more. There are ways to mitigate all of these, but are they being done? We'll use state-of-the-art jailbreaking techniques to make sure the AI is doing safety and security right.

Are there alternatives?

There are so many AI products being released now, that it can be dizzying trying to figure out which does what. Is there a better option out there? We can do the research and find out, providing you with a thorough report of alternatives and recommendations so you can be sure you're making the right decision.

Our Mission

Our mission is to apply our AI experience to actualize:

Human Reasoning

We have a very close relationship with the Advancing Machine and Human Reasoning (AMHR) Lab at USF (our Founder and Owner is also the founder and director of the AMHR Lab), whose pioneering research has explored the use of AI to make people better reasoners since 2017.

Communication

We have exclusive access to technologies for facilitating better argumentative communication between individuals and teams. Our expertise in Natural Language Processing (NLP), particularly with argumentation and persuasion, allows us to develop communication technologies utilizing state-of-the-art AI.

Less time spent on monotonous tasks

We have solutions that use AI to reduce AI compliance issues. Need to show an AI tool is compliant a new and confusing standard? Want to file an insurance claim that is less likely to get declined? Our AI-based solutions will reduce the time and money spent dealing with confusing policies.

Direct connection to state-of-the-art AI

We are set up to commercialize the AI and human cognitive modeling research of the USF AMHR Lab. This means that we are directly connected to the latest advances in the fast-moving field of artificial intelligence, because as researchers we know how it works at a deep level, giving us a sharp competitive advantage. Through AMHR research, we also have expertise in researching AI for the Department of Defense, so much of our work aligns with their mission priorities.

Projects

AI Tools for Policy and Compliance Management

Regulations, policies, and compliance audits are a way of life for businesses. Finance companies wrestle with Sarbanes-Oxley, healthcare organizations deal with HIPAA, and very soon, those who create or work with AI tools will likely need to deal with regulations around those as well.

But nobody wants to deal with regulation. Programmers just want to know what they need to do to be compliant. Compliance officers just want to know which tests they can run to show compliance. Employees just want to know which forms to fill out to get some purchase approved. And in all of these areas our AI-based solutions can help make things simpler.

We have developed approaches to the automated reasoning of regulatory and legal language, automated processing of organizational policies and workflows, and the interpretation of interpretive reasoning in ways that are explainable, replicable, and transparent. Our approach recently resulted in a first-place win in a legal AI reasoning competition. We are currently adapting this technology to the problems described above, and are actively seeking partners to help us prepare our first pilot runs.

This project was developed through the NSF i-CORPS regional program at USF. Learn about our experience:

Healthcare applications: Reducing Insurance Claim Denials

Insurance claim denials cost hospitals $20 billion per year. And although insurance companies are clearly already using AI to more rapidly deny claims, evidence suggests that healthcare providers and customers are not keeping up.

We're working on a solution. Building on our proprietary academic work using advanced NLP to reason with and about policies, regulatory language, and psychological analyses, we are using our unique expertise to create a system for creating, managing, and adjusting insurance claims to significantly reduce their denial rate. We are actively seeking partners in the healthcare and insurance spaces to help us bring this project to fruition. Please contact us below if you are interested.
