Episode notes
Model Transfer Challenges
- Eric Daimler's experience advising the White House and Defense Department revealed challenges in transferring AI models.
- Existing models often couldn't be integrated into new technologies without significant rework, causing loss of valuable data and insights.
Conexus's Approach
- Connexus leverages neurosymbolic AI, a deterministic approach, combined with probabilistic AIs.
- This guarantees reliable data integration across large systems, addressing trust and cost issues.
Uber's Data Challenge
- Uber initially allowed each city to have its own database, leading to data silos and manual reconciliation efforts.
- Conexus helped integrate these databases into a unified model, improving efficiency and regulatory compliance.
