Bryant Cruse, the Father of AI in Space, has been a pioneer in the application of AI technology to difficult real-world problems. He graduated from St. John’s College in Annapolis, Maryland where he acquired his lifelong interest in the philosophy of Epistemology or “how we know what we know.” After serving for eight years as a Naval Aviator he returned to school for an MS in Space Systems Engineering from Johns Hopkins. While on the Mission Operations team for the Hubble Telescope he found a personal mission to change the way spacecraft were operated by seeking a way to capture human knowledge in computers. This work led him to a six-month residency in AI (MS equivalent) at the Lockheed AI Center in Palo Alto. He went on to build two successful AI companies, both of which were ultimately acquired by public corporations. New Sapience is his third deep-tech company. The patented technology that comprises its “Cognitive Core” represents more than 15 years of development and a lifetime of thinking from first principles.
