Pittsburgh's manufacturing and AI sectors grab Silicon Valley's attention

A Silicon Valley company has made the move to Pittsburgh, bringing with it a unique type of artificial intelligence. Citrine Informatics, a chemicals and materials artificial intelligence (AI) platform, recently opened its first office outside of Silicon Valley in Bakery Square. Citrine combines materials-aware AI with the world's largest materials database to help companies deliver high-performance products to market faster. It's a feat Citrine CEO Greg Mulholland says they're under a lot of pressure to do. He illustrates his point by citing how Boeing strives to become fuel efficient by creating lighter, stronger materials with which to build their jets.
