AI only exists today because it is trained on real data. The better the data input, The better the AI output. We capture incredibly high-quality raw data of real humans, in 3D, from all angles. You do the Math ✍🏻 Our data can vastly improve and expand the capabilities of AI

Women’s rights are human rights. And investing in women and girls is one of the surest ways to make the world a better place Yet, progress on gender equality has been slow and uneven. It’s time to take action and deliver the equality our world so sorely needs. Women and girls are changing the world. Let’s change the world for women and girls.

When it comes to data centers, Michigan should show the country how to do it right. That means: Data center companies, not Michigan families, pay for their own energy and grid upgrades – so rates don't go up. Data centers can't harm our water, air, or environment. Data centers pay their fair share in taxes to fund our schools, roads, and communities. Data centers are built with local union labor.

Heather Mac Donald dropped the blunt truth on women in tech: “Nobody’s keeping females out. They just aren’t interested.” Google is desperate to hire more women. Investors threw billions at Elizabeth Holmes. Yet the obsessive drive to code until 3 AM, conquer data, and push through failure remains disproportionately male. It’s not discrimination or lack of funding — it’s a difference in raw interest and intensity. A refreshingly direct take on why the gender gaps persist in high-stakes fields like AI and startups. Do you think the underrepresentation of women in tech is mostly due to barriers and discrimination, or largely due to differences in interests and drive?
