Authentrics.AI joins 14th cohort of The Catalyst Accelerator
The Colorado Springs, CO-based program is hosted by Catalyst Campus for Technology and Innovation in partnership with the U.S. Space Force and the Air Force Research Laboratory.
Knoxville-based Authentrics.AI is one of six start-ups participating in The Catalyst Accelerator, powered by the Air Force Research Laboratory Space Vehicles Directorate.
As described in a press release announcing the latest cohort, it was noted that the program exists to empower nontraditional technology companies to accelerate their involvement in the national defense ecosystem by providing connections, mentorship, and business development in a collaborative setting for a lasting national impact. The evolving nature of space and electromagnetic warfare necessitates the development and integration of advanced technologies to ensure mission success and strategic superiority.
The U.S. Space Force and U.S. Army are particularly interested in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to automate tasks, improve decision support, and develop self-adapting systems capable of responding to dynamic threats in real-time. Additionally, there is a pressing need for mobile, rapidly deployable electronic warfare systems that can counter increasingly sophisticated adversarial capabilities in both Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geosynchronous Orbit (GEO) environments.
“We are honored to be a part of The Catalyst Accelerator’s 14th cohort,” wrote John Derrick, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Authentrics.AI in a social media post. “Looking forward to growing alongside some fantastic companies next year.”
He told us at an event last week that one of his team members will participate in the program that begins January 28 and ends April 25.
The announcement noted that Authentrics.AI provides a patent-pending solution that works with existing AI/ML pipelines to directly measure, control, and explain AI through direct analysis of the neural-network and transformers enabling near real-time model health status, result attribution to release version, ability to correct/update past trainings without full-retraining, and perform meta-tuning and sensitivity analysis. These key functions greatly increase the return on investment by bringing and keeping AI/ML systems operational faster and provide the resilience required in key/critical applications.
Located in Colorado Springs, CO, The Catalyst Accelerator is a collaborative program hosted by Catalyst Campus for Technology and Innovation, a Colorado 501(c)(3), in partnership with the United States Space Force and the Air Force Research Laboratory, to provide a robust, mentor-driven curriculum for accelerator teams.
