Louis Rosenberg (born May 24, 1969) is a technologist, prolific inventor, entrepreneur, writer, and currently the CEO of the artificial Intelligence company Unanimous AI. He attended Stanford University, where he earned his bachelors, masters, and PhD degrees. His doctoral work focused on robotics, virtual reality, augmented reality, and human-computer interaction, and resulted in the Virtual fixtures system for the U.S. Air Force, the first immersive Augmented Reality system ever built (1992).Rosenberg then founded a number of successful technology companies, including the early VR company Immersion Corporation which went public in 1999 (NASDAQ: IMMR), the 3D digitizer company Microscribe which was used in the making of many feature films, including Shrek, Ice Age, A Bug's Life, and Titanic, and the technology company Outland Research. Rosenberg also worked as a tenured professor at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly). In 2014, he founded Unanimous A.I., an artificial intelligence company that enables human groups to amplify their collective brainpower by forming real-time "hive minds" modeled after natural swarms. Unanimous AI became well known in 2016 when its Artificial Swarm Intelligence technology (Swarm AI) made a series of accurate predictions about world events, including predicting the Academy Awards, the Kentucky Derby, the Super Bowl, and the rise of Donald Trump. Rosenberg recounted the science that lead to these predictions in a TED talk delivered in 2017 in Kansas City. In 2018, Unanimous AI was awarded "Best AI and Machine Learning technology" at the prestigious SXSW Innovation Awards.
