Anduril Uses AI to Secure Borders

Virtual reality wunderkind Palmer Luckey has had a checkered past. He was responsible for setting up Oculus and selling it to Facebook. But soon after, he was involved in the controversy involving trade secret violations surrounding the development of Oculus.

Florian Quarre: The final use case is automated decision making. We’ve gone through defining the data meaning and dictionaries. We’ve gone through digitizing data.

Ashutosh Garg: Do you want to base it on people’s gender or on experience?

Thought Leaders in Artificial Intelligence: Daisy Intelligence CEO Gary Saarenvirta (Part 3)

Gary Saarenvirta: We have a theory for retail. We have partial differential equations (PDEs) that govern insurance and risk industries.

We simulate with our PDEs. You simulate what is going to happen in the future if I took these actions. In the same way, our PDEs are the decisions we provide. What products do I promote? What prices do I charge? How much inventory to allocate?
