Swarm AI for Event Outcome Prediction with Gregg Willcox - TWIML Talk #299
Today we're joined by Gregg Willcox, Director of Research and Development at Unanimous AI. Inspired by the natural phenomenon called 'swarming', which uses the collective intelligence of a group to produce more accurate results than an individual alone, ‘Swarm AI’ was born. A game-like platform that channels the convictions of individuals to come to a consensus and using a behavioral neural network trained on people’s behavior called ‘Conviction’, to further amplify the results.
