About

ChatGPT already passes the Turing Test, but OpenAI's new Q* algorithm makes it "so powerful its scaring researchers". Is this the Singularity? Mitch Randall discusses OpenAI and the Singularity. Mitch Randall is the CEO of Ascendant AI and innovator behind the SkyWatch Passive Radar UAP tracking system. Skywatch was developed through the Galileo Project and hopes to detect UAP using reflected signals from existing transmitters as an alternative to traditional radar technology. Mitch has Masters Degrees in both Electrical Engineering & Physics, and has a long history in scientific instrumentation and radar - dating back to 1984. His experience includes roles at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), along with dozens of key inventions in radar technology widely used across industry. He co-founded Binet in the early 90s to bring bistatic 3D velocity measurement to research weather radars all over the world, and co-founded the Advanced Radar Corporation in the early 2000's to commercialize these innovations for applications in the commercial weather radar market, and in 2005 he co-founded WildCharge to commercialize wireless charging technology for consumer electronics. In 2018 Mitch co-founded Ascendant Artificial Intelligence (AAI) and is currently delivering state of the art custom AI solutions to global customers, and a Research Team member of Harvard’s Galileo Project, where he developed the proof of concept of the SkyWatch passive radar receiver.
