Perceptive AI Studio
Artificial Intelligence is the art of building machines that reproduce human intelligence. With roughly 60% of our brain dedicated to perception, AI is very much about artificial perception. In 2018, 60% of AI academic publications were about computer vision. We believe that artificial perception is at a turning point where new sensors, approaches, and data sources will soon create a Cambrian explosion of products and applications. We are creating the Perceptive AI Venture Studio to help generate these, now.
The Perceptive AI Studio will be led by Newlab Entrepreneur-In-Residence, Alexandre Winter. Read more about the venture studio here.
