Unanimous A.I.

Unanimous AI is an American technology company provides artificial swarm intelligence (ASI) technology.[1][2][3] Unanimous AI developed a "human swarming" platform "swarm.ai" (formally called UNU) that allows distributed groups of users to answer questions, make predictions, generate ideas, and reach decisions.[4][5][6]

The firm deploys swarm-based technologies through their platform Swarm.ai, (formally UNU) which enables online groups to answer questions, reach decisions, and make predictions similarly to swarming found in nature.[7][8][9][10][11][12] This process has resulted in successful predictions of major events such as the Kentucky Derby, the Oscars, the Stanley Cup, Presidential Elections, and the World Series.[13][14][15][8][16]

In 2018, the firm collaborated with Stanford University School of Medicine to study using artificial swarming algorithms for diagnostics.[17][18] A follow-up research study, published in Nature Digital Medicine in 2019 showed that the platform could improve its accuracy using deep learning.[19]

Building a "Hive Mind" using Swarm AI technology

In 2019, the platform was featured on the Amazon Original Series, "Giant Beast That is The Global Economy". The general public used Swarm.ai to forecast box-office results for summer movies (2018). Participants correctly forecasted that Incredibles 2 would significantly outperform other highly anticipated films at the box-office .[20][21]

In 2020, the firm published an accurate forecast for the 2020 United States presidential election, including correct predictions for all 11 battleground states[22] In 2020, the firm predicted the winner of the 2020 World Series prior to the start of the baseball season.[23]

In 2021, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations announced that it was using swarm AI technology to help forecast famines.[24][25]
