joining us now is Ryan saying he's the co founder
and Ceo of Shield Ai. So Ryan, thanks
for joining us on this friday. Your company says
it's building an Ai pilot for both military and commercial
aircraft. So can you share a little bit more
about what the technology that Shield Ai is developing and
what it aims to do? Well, first,
thank you for having me here. Glad to be
here. Shield Ai mission is to protect service members
and civilians with intelligence systems and we focus on achieving
that by building the world's best Ai pilot and when
we think about building the world's best AI pilot,
we think about the missions that our defense customers and
also our commercial users are conducting every single day and
we try to find ways to do those missions better
do it in a way where the pilot is trusted
and make sure that it's an economic solution for our
customers. Now, you guys revolve about this idea
of the Hive Mind and how does this tech ensure
that the aircraft can fly and maneuver safely. So
Hive Mind is an AI framework, it's an AI
pilot that enables the aircraft to see, think and
act, do all the processing entirely on the edge
and an example of our capability, it could be
applied to a wide area search. It could also
be applied to aerial combat and it's very much doing
the same thing that a human pilot would do if
they were into the cockpit If they were in the
cockpit. The difference is that our AI pilots have
the ability to accrue great deals of experience and simulation
before they ever end up in the pilot and each
pilot that we deployed today has the equivalent of roughly
you know, a human pilot with 1700 years of
flight experience started my pilot's license a few years back
. I didn't get that far with it, but
1700 hours of experience is quite impressive. So I
know that Shield AI also developed hardware products powered by
High Fine, which includes this drone system that you
guys are calling Nova. So can you share a
little bit more about these products and what they do
? The company started around the mission of protecting service
members and civilians from threats by allowing us to get
eyes and ears in places where it was difficult to
get them. The company was inspired by my brother's
experience. He was a navy seal with a couple
deployments in the Middle East. One of the pacific
and one of the greatest challenges he faced was an
inability to get the information he needed to protect people
, including civilians and his teammates. And so the
company started by creating a product line called Nova which
is an autonomous quadcopter which uses our AI pilot which
allows our service members and allies to get eyes and
ears inside of buildings before they make entry. Now
what are some of the government and military organizations using
Shield Ai technology um who are you working with at
this time? We have many partners across the U
. S. Government. We're also working with allies
of the United States. We've had the opportunity to
deploy our our our products worldwide. Our products are
operating in 14 time zones today and making an admission
an important mission impact every day. Well, thank
you so much. That's Ryan saying he's the Ceo
and co founder of Shield AI.
