Shield AI Recognized As One of the Most Promising AI Companies

Shield AI, the technology company focused on developing innovative AI technology to safeguard the lives of military service members and first responders, expressed its gratitude to Forbes for naming the company as one of the "AI 50: America's Most Promising Artificial Intelligence Companies" for 2020. The five-year-old company has developed AI technology that enables unmanned systems to interpret signals and react autonomously in dynamic environments, including on the battlefield. Shield AI's products are already being utilized by the US Department of Defense to augment and extend service members' ability to execute complex missions. Shield AI co-founder Brandon Tseng, who served in the U.S. Navy for seven years, including as a SEAL, said "Following my last deployment, I came home with the strong conviction that artificial intelligence could make a profound positive impact for our service members. This was the idea that Shield AI was founded upon, and a half-decade later, we are elated to have Forbes recognize our innovation of AI technology as both promising and meaningful." Shield AI has grown from fewer than 30 employees at the end of 2017 to nearly 150 today, while producing revenue metrics on pace with the growth trajectory of the most promising venture-backed start-ups, including doubling its revenue between 2018 and 2019.
