The conversation this week is with Bryant Cruse. Bryant has been a pioneer in the application of AI technology to difficult real-world problems. He graduated from St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland, where he acquired his lifelong interest in the philosophy of Epistemology. Or how we know what we know. After serving for eight years as a naval aviator, he returned to school for an MS in Space Systems Engineering from John Hopkins. While on the mission operations team for the Hubble Telescope, he found a personal mission to change the way spacecraft was operated by seeking a way to capture human knowledge and computers. This work led him to a six-month residency at the Lockheed AI Center in Palo Alto, he went on to found two successful AI companies, both of which were ultimately acquired by public corporations. New Sapience is his third technology company. The patented technology represents more than 15 years of development and a lifetime of thinking from first principles.
