Taking The AI Industry By Storm: The Story Behind iLearningEngines' Rise To A $420 Million Enterprise

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga iLearning Engines (NASDAQ: AILE), a leading Applied AI platform for learning and work automation, has recently gone public following a merger with Arrowroot Acquisition Corp. The company was founded by Harish Chidambaran, who drew inspiration for its creation from the time his mother was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer. Despite all the knowledge out there, the information she needed was not available to her. Chidambaran felt that health systems could do a better job in delivering vital content in realtime and in context. As a microprocessor architect at Sun MicroSystems, Chidambaran leveraged AI principles to vastly improve computing power, which underpinned his conclusion that AI is the key to achieving this vision. This problem is not unique to health systems alone but applies to many other organizations. iLearningEngines was built to enable organizations to make better use of their organizational knowledge. This led Chidambaran to envision an intelligent enterprise knowledge management system that could comb through thousands of data points and translate them into easily digestible educational material. This concept rapidly expanded to include workflow automation and seamless integration of content into people's daily work processes. Initially called iHealthEngines, iLearningEngines began with a focus on healthcare systems. It developed a platform that enabled hospital systems to convert their existing content into various learning artifacts, integrating AI capabilities to enhance the learning experience and deliver the content to different stakeholders. However, it became apparent that virtually any sector could benefit from the applied AI platform and the company was quickly renamed to iLearningEngines as the team worked on how to scale the business to include other industries without losing the trust of existing partners. iLearningEngines Pays For Reliable Data iLearningEngines' platform stands out due to its strong out-of-the-box platform AI capabilities. Unlike many competitors, who struggle to build bespoke AI solutions on existing platforms, iLearningEngines provides an out-of-the-box platform built on proprietary models and data tailored for each of the verticals that iLearningEngines operates in. iLearningEngines’ platform can be quickly implemented and enable customers to rapidly productize and deploy AI applications, AI agents, and use cases. This approach, deploying multiple applications on a single platform, combined with its emphasis on high-impact use cases and partner enablement, contributes significantly to iLearningEngine’s success. Chidambaran stresses the importance that iLearningEngines continues to pay for data acquisition, as it has done going back to 2018. This way, he says iLearningEngines can ensure that the data used to train and fine-tune their enterprise models and use cases is not only high-quality but also legally obtained. iLearningEngines' decision to compensate data sources fairly, even when it was not an industry standard, has mitigated copyright risks and provided a level of data sovereignty that is important to its enterprise clientele. iLearningEngines says this has inevitably built trust with partners and customers, especially as several AI-driven companies face intellectual property concerns. iLearningEngines has seen major success with partners and enterprise clients. With significant revenue growth coming from upselling, its ability to deliver ROI and ensure customer satisfaction is apparent. Notably, iLearningEngines closed out 2023 with over $420 million in revenue. iLearningEngines has continued its strong performance in Q1 2024, with $125 million in revenue. With so many companies fighting for dominance in the AI space, iLearningEngines has built a strong foundation that appears to be ripe for continued growth.

Gold Hydrogen achieves record purity levels in Stage 1 testing

GOLD HYDROGEN LIMITED

Gold Hydrogen Ltd (ASX:GHY) managing director Neil McDonald sits down with Jonathan Jackson in the Proactive studio to discuss the completion of Stage 1 well testing at its Ramsay Project on the Yorke Peninsula of South Australia, achieving exceptional results. The Ramsay 1 and Ramsay 2 wells recorded world-leading purity levels of 17.5% helium and 95.8% natural hydrogen (air corrected). This marks the first dedicated natural hydrogen and helium well-test operation in Australia, and one of the few globally. The Ramsay 1 test utilised an open hole well test to assess formation inflow, with nitrogen injection used to clear fluids. Formation permeability was indicated by fluid influx and natural hydrogen recovery at the surface. The Ramsay 2 test involved detailed testing of seven zones, identified using open hole logs and mud gas data from prior drilling. All zones confirmed natural hydrogen at the surface, validating previous purity levels, with the highest at 531 metres depth. Helium was also extracted from a 180-metre thick zone in the Kulpara Dolomite, with significant spikes during initial testing, confirming 17.5% helium purity. The primary objective of confirming downhole pressure and natural gas flow to the surface was achieved. Stage 2 will involve extended well testing to determine flow rates, involving a downhole pump to remove formation fluid. Success in this phase will inform future well designs and contribute to a pilot plant design. McDonald highlighted the significance of these results, which are among the highest purity levels recorded globally. Stage 2 testing is planned to begin in early Q3 2024, aiming for commercial production of natural hydrogen and helium.

Two-Thirds Of Top 20 Pharmaceutical Companies Have Prohibited AI – Brand Engagement Network Aims To Change That Perception With Its Solutions

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga According to a recent survey conducted by ZoomRx involving 200 professionals in the life sciences industry, over 50% of the respondents indicated that their respective companies had implemented a ban on the usage of ChatGPT, a popular generative artificial intelligence tool developed by OpenAI. Interestingly, around 65% of the largest 20 pharmaceutical companies have prohibited the tool's usage. Participants in the survey stated that the reason for this policy was mostly associated with concerns that confidential company information could be accidentally exposed to rival organizations. It is understandable that some companies may be struggling with implementing new technology, especially in an industry where confidentiality is paramount. There have even been leaks associated with OpenAI that raise concerns for companies looking to adopt new technology but are still wary of execution. Some have even called artificial intelligence (AI) “overrated.” And while ChaptGPT may be one of the bigger names in the burgeoning field of AI, that doesn’t make it the best – there are companies offering AI that could meet the needs and allay the concerns of such healthcare companies. Simply put, not all AI platforms are created equal. The AI Company That Is Bringing Security And Assurance To The Industry Brand Engagement Network (NASDAQ: BNAI) (BEN), an AI company that is cementing its place against big tech giants, is working to secure a firm foothold in the AI space. The company has spent the past several years acquiring patents to enhance sound and image processing, sensor data and AI perception and understanding. The company released its AI/3D avatar prototype in 2020, showcasing BEN's ability to blend cutting-edge technology with immersive user experiences. BEN says its AI has distinguished itself from competitors through 16+ perception, understanding and response AI modules that facilitate a truly human-like interaction in the ways it can listen, see, speak and react. BEN retains a laser focus on offering the right solution to healthcare companies and has been making progress. The company recently partnered with MedAdvisor Solutions, a global leader of pharmacy-driven patient engagement solutions, to bring BEN’s AI assistants to certain pharmacies to help enhance patient outcomes. BEN’s AI Assistant technology will be a part of MedAdvisor Solutions’ Medication Advisor product, offering its vast pharmacy network configurable, easy-to-deploy and effective AI technology. BEN's success hinges on its lineup of conversational AI applications that facilitate superior customer experience, higher levels of automation and enhanced operational efficiency. This has been made possible by leveraging highly sophisticated proprietary large language models. These models, based on updated training and fine tuning of open-sourced large language models, are the product of extensive research and development by renowned AI thought leaders as well as advanced security methodologies. BEN’s AI assistants are walled gardens for each business, meaning they learn and are trained on what the business specifies they learn and train on and the benefits are contained to that individual instance. It truly is the businesses’ AI. BEN’s full-stack solutions can be ring-fenced and operate without access to 3rd party systems or without an external Internet connection for companies where maximum data security and compliance are a must. BEN says it is committed to weaving mutually beneficial relationships with businesses that have complementary capabilities and networks to deliver tangible outcomes that foster growth and success. By utilizing a proprietary model designed specifically for their needs, BEN ensures that their client's sensitive data is secure and safeguarded more effectively than if they were to opt for less protective AI programs. While there are still companies that are nervous about adopting new technology, it is unlikely that the industry is going away; the global AI in healthcare market size was valued at $20.9 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $148.4 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 48.1%. For companies that are hesitant, platforms like BEN may offer the security and reassurance that is needed to adapt to newer technology. Featured photo by National Cancer Institute on Unsplash.

Andrew Brown AKA Doctor Troller Becomes Top 3 Richest NFT Artist With Net Worth Of £280 Million GBP

Doctor Troller

Chelsea-based digital artist "Doctor Troller" is the alter ego of a creative street troller and prankster borne from the streets of London. Doctor Troller is currently one of the world's top 3 richest NFT artists, with a net worth valued at £280 million GBP in 2023. The crypto artist made headlines in April 2021 when he sold £20,000 GBP worth of NFTs in 20 seconds after launching his digital artwork online. What's Doctor Troller's Real Name? Doctor Troller's real name is Andrew Brown. Doctor Troller's Bio & Background Born and raised in London, digital artist and prankster Andrew "Doctor Troller" Brown is known for his disruptive visual and multimedia art style. Based in Chelsea, his inflammatory videos and surreal digital art pieces are designed to ignite controversy and spark debate. A troller from birth, the artist had a strong affinity for art as a child. Although he didn't draw or paint, his dyslexia drove him to innovate beyond traditional art forms, bridging art and body together. Doctor Troller has described his creative drive as "a passion of expression through physical action to trigger controversy" - in other words, he creates controversial art specifically to enjoy its reactions. Doctor Troller's Net Worth Doctor Troller's net worth rose to £200 million GBP in 2021 due to the boom in NFT (Non-Fungible Token) popularity. Although it isn't known exactly how much Doctor Troller was making before, we know that his source of wealth stems primarily from being an avid Cryptocurrency investor and NFT artist. Despite the recent drop in Bitcoin valuations, Doctor Troller has become one of the top 3 richest NFT artists in the world. Doctor Troller's Crypto Art Doctor Troller's NFT crypto art is typically sold via NFT marketplaces, like OpenSea. However, as the recent record-breaking £69.3 million GBP NFT sale for Beeple's crypto art at Christie's Auction House proves, an appetite for crypto art exists in the traditional art world. Doctor Troller's art pieces are usually conceived as a video before developing into varying forms of digital art. The digital artist often depicts real life interactions between himself and female characters in startling, controversial forms within unusual settings that provoke powerful emotional reactions and kindle debate. Often these forms are sexually provocative and explicit. Some of Doctor Troller's recent crypto art pieces include 'Booty Shot', a unique piece of risqué, tongue-in-cheek animated NFT art designed in London. This piece deconstructs its title: the urban slang and filmmaking term 'Booty Shot'. In typical self-portraiture style, 'Booty Shot' sees Doctor Troller himself appear in the image, as in the majority of his other NFT art works. Another recent piece is 'Lightzilla', a suggestive moving-image work presents a comic-book style scene featuring the artist voyeuristically spectating from behind an unknown woman as she — either in pain or pleasure — massages her leg calves with an electric gun. 'Leather's Babe' is another unique NFT art piece by Doctor Troller, is a controversial moving image artwork. As per Brown's typical surreal, inflammatory artistic style, the piece is intended to spark debate as to whether the woman in question is being empowered or degraded. Doctor Troller and Global Press Coverage Andrew "Doctor Troller" Brown has been featured in a number of leading world media websites and news publications including the Evening Standard, The Daily Mail and Yahoo! Finance, among others. Doctor Troller made headlines in May 2021 after an "experiment in human nature" led to thousands of pounds of art being stolen from his open-air 'Honest Gallery'. Brown, who set up the Honest Gallery in Soho's Berwick Street, left four works of art hanging beside a collection box asking art lovers to pay what they could for pieces they wanted. CCTV footage from the London venue showed the first piece was stolen within an hour and all four pieces were gone by the end of the afternoon. Even the gallery signs were taken. All proceeds from the box were set to go to charity: the organisers honoured the promise and made a donation. Brown also made headlines in April 2021 when he sold £20,000 GBP of NFTs in 20 seconds after launching his animated artwork online. He released his new collection of 40 works for £500 GBP each on doctortroller.com, with items from each pool getting snapped up in seconds. With bold stylised images and sexual caricatures, Brown has gained nearly 1m social media followers, with his net worth steadily growing in value week to week. His vibrant digital art pieces have almost 100k views apiece. Artist Andrew Brown said: "The future of art is digital, and the lockdown has certainly sped up the transition away from physical artworks. This has been a great experience for me and should open up new opportunities for artists to be able to monetise their content outside of the traditional gallery model." Doctor Troller and NFTs We all witnessed Bitcoin suddenly plunge 30% to near £30,000 GBP in May 2021, which was an all time low in the midst of a major sell-off in the cryptocurrency market. However, this significant drop in Bitcoin value did not make a dent in Doctor Troller's net worth. Even though Brown's exact net worth isn't known, the skyrocketing popularity of NFTs gives us a pretty good picture. Even before 2021, Doctor Troller was already a wealthy NFT and cryptocurrency investor. But now, with Brown's net worth valued at over £280million GBP, he has become one of the top 3 wealthiest NFT artists inexistence. History in the making. Doctor Troller recently released his latest series of digital art videos entitled 'A Troller's Parable'. Contact Details Doctor Troller Ltd Andrew Brown +44 333 355 3548 money@moneysource.com
