Why Sentient Synthetics?
“When I was introduced to Sentient and fully understood the tremendous potential of the technology, I jumped at the opportunity to take the helm as the ramifications of synthetic data sets and their ability to overcome the Achilles’ Heel of AI and machine learning are truly revolutionary.
To develop accurate models and teach an algorithm to “think,” you need access to lots of data. The greater the access to data, the better. However, data may be fragmented or inaccessible for numerous reasons including cost and privacy. In addition, while extensive data, which can be used to help train algorithms, exists concerning common occurrences, data regarding rarer instances is accordingly harder to come by. Synthetic data sets would solve this problem, opening the door for innovations in health care.
The fulfillment of our ambitions would help people everywhere by streamlining processes in the medical world, leveraging the power of artificial intelligence to enhance treatments and improve the outcomes of patients.”
