Surface Design Solutions took home the top prize at the $100,000 Forge AI pitch competition at Pittsburgh's AI Horizons global summit. There were almost 100 great companies competing, covering all aspects of cutting-edge AI. We feel like we stood out because of our physics-informed AI. Unlike conventional AI, our predictions are all grounded in the science of how surfaces actually behave. This solves many of the problems of traditional AI. We don’t need big data sets, our models can’t hallucinate, the results are interpretable and actionable.
