What would a decade letter become Intelligent Artifacts was started in 2009 by a cognitive physicist and new father with a passion for Artificial Intelligence and the desire to build a better world. AI had been in the back of his mind since he was a kid himself, mapping out his own solutions to some of the world’s most complex AI problems. Years passed and many of the problems he read about in his childhood remained unsolved. The AI industry continued to prove itself a sea of small victories leading to ultimate dead-ends, roadblocks, and AI winters. Our founder took one look at his newborn son and understood what his work should be.
Intelligent Artifacts was not formed as a startup in a dorm room or garage, like so many tech companies of our time. It was forged as a digital collaboration of seasoned, passionate professionals with an absolute focus and a yearning to create a positive impact.
To this day, we believe our individual journeys brought us together to build something uniquely capable of creating a powerful and lasting solution for machine intelligence. With a shared sense of hope for the future of humanity, our collective abilities and imaginative geekiness forged a path for us to create what we believe will not only change the world as it is, but for generations to come. Together, we can re-engineer a part of humanity’s future by creating the first viable machine intelligence: a new civilization of intelligent machines that works harmoniously with humans to foster a better world for us all.
