Unanimous A.I. develops Artificial Swarm Intelligence technologies and is the creator of the UNU swarming platform and the Swarm Insight on-demand intelligence service. The UNU platform empowers online groups to form real-time “human swarms” and tap their collective knowledge, wisdom, and intuition. This makes it possible for distributed online groups to answer questions and make predictions, together, in real-time, as an amplified intelligence. This process has been shown to generate significantly improved decisions, predictions, estimations, and forecasts, which can be seen in major events such as the Kentucky Derby, the Oscars, the Stanley Cup, Presidential Elections, and the World Series.

History
Entrepreneur and inventor, Dr. Louis Rosenberg, founded Unanimous A.I. to unite large groups of people online into real-time collaborative systems which amplifies their collective intelligence. He started the company due to being concerned with current artificial intelligence research, which generally focuses on replacing human intelligence with machine-driven software. Dr. Rosenberg believes that these traditional A.I. approaches will prove to be dangerous to society in the long term, and wanted to build intelligent systems that keep humans “in the loop.” Modeled after natural systems, the "Swarm A.I." technology developed by Unanimous A.I. combines the knowledge, wisdom, insights, and intuitions of real people, in real-time, using A.I. algorithms that amplify their collective wisdom while keeping core human values and sensibilities central to the process.
UNU
Unanimous A.I. developed a "human swarming" platform called UNU, which is based on Artificial Swarm Intelligence technology that allows groups to think together to answer questions, make predictions, generate ideas, and play games. UNU connects groups of people to leverage their inherent collective intelligence and generate insights together.
2016 Kentucky Derby
Challenged by a reporter with TechRepublic, Hope Reese, Unanimous A.I. used the UNU system to predict the winners of the 2016 Kentucky Derby. UNUs single pick for the top four horses was published by TechRepublic on May 6, 2016. The following day, the race was won and the four horses that UNU picked (Nyquist, Exaggerator, Gun Runner, and Mohaymen) finished in the exact order that the system predicted and that TechRepublic published. The odds for making such a pick were 542 to 1, which would yield $54,000 on a $100 bet. Hope documented her own bet of $1, which earned $540.
