A Pioneer Program
AIDP is using artificial intelligence technology to create its pioneer program “ISABELLA.”
The human mind can only store a certain amount of information. Mankind can only endure a certain amount of pressure and perform a finite amount of labor. ISABELLA’s artificial intelligence technology will have access to unlimited information with the ability to learn and process multi-lingual data from the internet, encyclopedias, and even intelligence resources. ISABELLA is limitless.
ISABELLA will read and retain information. As open-source, wi-fi connected technology, the program will be connected to the internet and able to observe, learn, and act. New technology and machines will use ISABELLA’s processing mind to perform labor and even offer military functionality.
In a nutshell, ISABELLA will be the AI technology driving the future. Artificial Intelligence personnel will be able to drive, pick up waste, deliver necessities, and do the work when humans cannot.
Making a Difference Around the World
Through AIDP, Andy aims to change the world. He wants to improve the quality of life for future generations and bring peace all over the world.
AIDP is innovating for defense, not to take lives but to save them. It is innovating to protect communities globally. It is working to use AI to protect the innocent. Andy asserts, “I’ve seen war and violence, and I’ve seen innocent casualties first-hand. It’s something that is hard to witness and even harder to unsee. The world may unfortunately always know war and will always have to innovate for defense, but I want to create AI technology for defense that will protect people and save the innocent.”
Positive Work Environment is the Key
Andy emphasizes on having a positive work culture in the organization. He encourages communication and teamwork. According to him, it’s important for people to feel open and able to contribute ideas.
