Elemental Cognition (EC) provides a revolutionary hybrid AI platform with superior natural language understanding that powers expert problem-solving intelligence in conversational and discovery applications. EC was founded in 2015 by Dr. David Ferrucci, the renowned AI researcher and inventor of IBM’s breakthrough Watson technology. EC AI transparently engages with people to understand, reason, and explain in solving complex problems. EC customers are in several verticals including but not limited to healthcare, pharmaceuticals, life sciences, financial services, and travel. Mission: Elemental Cognition’s (EC) mission is to go beyond traditional AI to assist humans in understanding complex content, reasoning about it, and finding and explaining answers. Values: Elemental Cognition is committed to developing responsible and transparent AI that helps solve problems and deliver expertise in a way that can be understood and trusted. Vision: AI’s potential to perform as a human thought partner requires transparency – the reasons why are just as important as the answers themselves. Why are we differentiated? EC’s approach combines different AI strategies in a novel architecture that acquires and reasons over human-readable knowledge to solve problems collaboratively and dynamically. The result is more transparent and cost-effective delivery of expert problem-solving intelligence into conversational and discovery applications.
