Alex also elaborated on the role of sunlight in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 and the potential role of vitamin D.

It is a semantic people search engine with machine vision, which beat Google and every other search engine tested 3 to 1 or more in results relevance in a blind people search comparison, and the first resume- or file-based search engine. Alex was appointed by the President to serve in the California Institute of Technology's Information Sciences and Technology Board of Advisors.
