Louis B. Rosenberg

In 2019, Rosenberg collaborated with researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine on a study published in the Journal Nature, Digital Medicine, which demonstrated for the first time that a "hive mind" of human doctors, when connected by Swarm AI algorithms modeled after Swarm Intelligence in nature, could significantly outperform human experts and traditional deep-learning technologies. That same year, Rosenberg collaborated with researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology on a study that showed that Swarm AI technology could be used to build a "hive mind" of financial analysts and significantly amplify forecasting accuracy and financial ROI when predicting equity markets.

In 2018 Rosenberg published research in collaboration with Oxford University demonstrated for the first time that its Swarm AI technology can outperform experts when forecasting financial markets. That same year, Rosenberg and Unanimous used Swarm AI technology to predict the Oscars with 94% accuracy, beating all major experts including the Los Angeles times, Variety, and the Hollywood Reporter.

In 2014, Rosenberg founded Unanimous A.I., an artificial intelligence company that amplifies the intelligence of human groups by enabling networks of online users to form a form real-time "hive minds" modeled after natural swarms. Unanimous AI became well known in 2016 when its swarm-based technology was used to make a series of accurate predictions about world events using Swarm AI technology, including predicting the 2016 Academy Awards, the 2016 Kentucky Derby, the 2016 Super Bowl, and the rise of Donald Trump.

Rosenberg released the dystopian graphic novel Monkey Room in 2014. It is a cautionary tale about the creation of a sentient AI that comes to life as a global "hive mind," linking millions of users through their phones, tablets, and computers. A screenplay version of Monkey Room was selected by the Academy of Motion Pictures from over 7000 scripts to as one of 50 contenders for a Nichol's Fellowship.

In 2013, Rosenberg released the graphic novel Eons in 2013 with artwork by Kyle La Fever. The book recounts the story of eight test subjects who are frozen and shot into orbit for a 60-day test of a military survival system.

In 2013, Rosenberg authored the children's book Seeking Marlo, with co-writer Joe Rosenbaum, and artwork by illustrator Bill Maus. The book is aimed at helping kids deal with the loss when a good friend moves away.

In 2012, Rosenberg sold his screenplay entitled Mindplay to Echo Lake Entertainment. In 2018, the Hollywood Reporter reported that Rosenberg's screenplay "The Manuscript" was scheduled to film, starring Morgan Freeman and Scott Eastwood, the script co-written with longtime collaborator Joe Rosenbaum.

In 2008, Rosenberg graduated from the Professional Program in Screenwriting at UCLA film school. In 2009, Rosenerg's short film Lab Rats won several awards including Best Short Film and Best Short Screenplay at the Moondance Film Festival, Best Short Film at the Ventura Film Festival, as well as Best Short Film at the Silicon Valley Film Festival and Los Angeles Comedy Festival. The film, directed by Sam Washington, has subsequently been turned into a web-series by Frostbite Pictures and won Outstanding Series at LA Webfest.

In 2008, Rosenberg authored his first graphic novel entitled Upgrade, with artwork by Stan Timmons. A satirical take on artificial intelligence and transhumanism, the book is set in the year 2048, when life is lived entirely online, nobody ever leaving the confines of their tiny apartments, supplies brought to them by automated delivery drones. In a notable coincidence, the story predicted a pandemic and global quarantine in 2020. The story takes place decades later in a dystopian society still under quarantine, populated by a generation of people who have never experienced the outside world. A screenplay based on the Upgrade story won Best Scif-Fi Screenplay at the Shriekfest film festival and won the Grand Prize of the Cinestory Screenwriting Awards.

In 2004, Rosenberg founded Outland Research, a company specializing in advanced methods of human-computer interaction. In 2011, Google purchased Outland Research technologies, along with its patents.

In 1995, Rosenberg founded Microscribe, a company that developed the first desktop 3D digitizer – a system that allows animators to digitize physical objects into 3D computer models. The Microscribe 3D digitizer was used in the production of many major feature films including Shrek, Ice Age, Bugs Life, and Titanic.

In 1993, Rosenberg founded the virtual reality company, Immersion Corporation which went public in 1999 (NASDAQ: IMMR) and remains a public company today. He served as the company's CEO until 2000.

In 1992, Rosenberg worked as a researcher at NASA (Ames Research Center) and at the Air Force Research Laboratory (formally Armstrong Labs) creating the Virtual Fixtures system, the first functional Augmented Reality system built and tested. The resulting studies were the first to show that AR overlays could amplify human performance in real-world physical tasks.

Rosenberg is a vegan, and in the 1990s helped to develop the first VR surgical simulators that reduced the use of animals in medical training. He is also dyslexic and has attributed some of his success as a technologist to this trait.

Louis Rosenberg (born May 24, 1969) is a technologist, prolific inventor, entrepreneur, writer, and currently the CEO and Chief Scientist of the artificial Intelligence company Unanimous AI. His doctoral work at Stanford University resulted in the virtual fixtures system for the US Air Force, the first immersive Augmented Reality system, built in 1992. Rosenberg founded a number of technology companies, including the early Virtual Reality 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, and the technology company Outland Research. Rosenberg also worked as a tenured professor at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly). In 2014, Rosenberg founded Unanimous A.I., an artificial intelligence company that enables networked human groups to combine their knowledge, wisdom and insights into an emergent super-intelligence that is sometimes referred to as an artificial "hive mind." The AI technology Rosenberg developed, commonly referred to as Artificial Swarm Intelligence or "Swarm AI" has been shown to significantly amplify the intelligence of networked human groups, enabling more accurate forecasts, predictions, estimations, and medical diagnoses.
