Thought is a blockchain and AI start-up, backed by Harrisburg University, who is fundamentally changing the way data is processed by embedding AI into every small piece of data.
By embedding every small bit of data with artificial intelligence, Thought can make ordinary data, that needs applications to become valuable, aware of its origin, its purpose and makes it able to act on its own to complete its task. This new way reduces the need for traditional applications, making data processing cheaper and faster. Instead of communicating with different applications, data can communicate with other pieces of data directly.
“At some point in the future, our current methods of handling data will no longer be feasible to cope with the ever-growing amount of information generated by humanity.” says the CEO of Thought, Professor Andrew Hacker, who has researching and developing the concept of smart data and algorithms for the past six years.
“Smart Data allows us to create a completely new paradigm of active data, where we can do everything more efficiently, intelligently, quickly and securely. Because of our ability to embed intelligence into pieces of data itself, we have the potential to revolutionize both AI and the process by which artificial intelligence is taught.”
By integrating blockchain technology with Smart Data, Thought can make AI more accessible, transparent and above all more secure.
“Every small piece of Smart Data is secured with multi-level encryption. Being able to secure individual bits of data is the Holy Grail of cybersecurity.” continues Professor Hacker, who, in addition to running Thought Network, is a cybersecurity expert in residence at Harrisburg University.
Thought Network’s unique angle on the increasing data problem has granted Andrew Hacker and his company a US patent.
Dr. Eric Darr, the President of Harrisburg University, stated, “The upcoming release of this new technology, Thought Blockchain, and its applications for businesses and consumers in artificial intelligence and analytics represents the bleeding edge of innovation. Harrisburg University looks forward to continuing its work with Mr. Hacker and Thought Network as they continue developing new and valuable technology."
Building something as complex as Thought requires a dedicated and brilliant team
Thought’s team consists of over 15 well-educated and experienced members, and they have a knowledgeable and impressive board of advisors, ranging from a retired Army Colonel to PhDs in AI, Biochemistry and Computer Science, and the recent addition of David Drake, Chairman at LDJ Capital makes the project even stronger in this age of ICO regulation and confusion.
“The addition of David Drake gives us the ability to tap into his experience of the regulatory landscape and understand the framework surrounding the crowdfunding industry. “, says Professor Hacker. “We very much look forward to working with him.”
