Ep. 65 Louis Rosenberg: The AI Revolution

In this insightful conversation, we dive deep into the AI revolution with Louis Rosenberg, PhD, a respected pioneer in the fields of augmented reality, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence.

With a PhD from Stanford University and over 300 awarded patents for VR, AR, and AI technologies, Rosenberg has made significant contributions to the industry. He has also founded successful companies such as Unanimous AI, Immersion Corporation, Microscribe, and Outland Research.

Rosenberg's journey began at NASA's Air Force Research Laboratory in the 1990s, where he created the groundbreaking Virtual Fixtures platform. This platform marked the first interactive augmented reality system, allowing users to experience a blend of real and virtual objects.

He later founded Immersion Corp, a VR company that pioneered various technologies, including VR simulators for medical schools and haptic devices for consumer markets. Further showcasing his entrepreneurial spirit, Rosenberg also founded Microscribe, a company renowned for its early 3D digitisers used in video games, virtual worlds, and feature films. The Microscribe digitizer played a crucial role in major films like Shrek, Ice Age, Starship Troopers, and Bugs Life.

Additionally, he founded Outland Research, focusing on augmented reality and mobile media technologies. Beyond his entrepreneurial endeavours, Rosenberg served as a professor at California State University (Cal Poly), teaching engineering, design, ed-tech, and entrepreneurship. Continuing his pursuit of advancing AI technologies, he founded Unanimous AI in 2014, harnessing the power of Swarm Intelligence to amplify the intelligence of networked human groups. This led to the development of Swarm AI, an award-winning technology used by organisations ranging from Fortune 500 corporations to the United Nations.

Rosenberg's expertise extends beyond just technology. He regularly contributes to VentureBeat and Big Think, sharing his insights on artificial intelligence, biological swarms, virtual reality, and augmented reality. He also actively promotes safe metaverse technologies, serving as the Chief Scientist of the Responsible Metaverse Alliance and as the Global Technology Advisor to the XR Safety Initiative (XRSI).
