Bolstering its capabilities in artificial intelligence (AI), France's Thales said earlier this month that it acquired Ohio-based Psibernetix, which has developed processes that enable AI decisions to be mathematically verified and validated so that Thales can create Certifiable AI that is trusted. Terms of the deal, which was announced on June 7, were not disclosed. Psibernetix' technology has been used in a wide range of applications, including defense, biomedical, shipping, manufacturing and disaster management. In the defense space, the company developed an aerial combat application called ALPHA used in red force-blue force training that consistently beat the world's best pilots in simulated combat, Thales said. Psibernetix, on its website, said that AI will enable decisions at machine speed in complex and fast-moving environments.
