About Chad Steelberg
At the CES-G 2020 keynote, Chad Steelberg discussed Veritone's aiWARE platform, which he described as the first operating system for artificial intelligence, deployed to approximately 150 locations including government agencies. He stated that the platform has been used to identify individuals through facial recognition against known offender databases, resulting in "hundreds and hundreds" of suspects and violent offenders being caught. Steelberg also said that the platform has reduced the time required for redacting personally identifiable information from evidence from roughly ten man-hours per hour of video or audio to a one-to-one ratio. Steelberg characterized the development of artificial general intelligence, or "the singularity," as an "arms race" involving nation-states including China, Israel, Russia, and the UK. He argued that the path to general intelligence requires collaboration rather than originating in a single research lab. Steelberg described a progression in which humans move from being "in the loop" to "on the loop" and eventually "completely out of the process." He also noted that Veritone had formed partnerships with Microsoft, Deloitte, and Oracle within the previous 12 months, and described the aiWARE operating system as "completely federated," capable of running on a laptop or in the cloud.
