…and analytics. Dynam.AI has partnered with industrial drone provider American Robotics, which uses artificial intelligence and CAML to detect and identify potential oil and gas leaks. “Traditional machine learning is only able to work with the data it’s given,” said Dimitry Fisher, chief scientific officer at Dynam.AI, in a statement. “But when your AI has access to scientific first principles, it can use the data it’s given much more efficiently and effectively. This translates into better results with available data, and results that cannot be obtained based on data alone, leading to better decision intelligence and better solution performance.” San…
