GAINESVILLE, FL, UNITED STATES, November 19, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ — Meraglim, a West Palm Beach-based investment holding company, along with The University of Florida and the Greater Gainesville Chamber of Commerce announced a strategic, public-private economic development initiative, dubbed AI Central, to elevate artificial intelligence (AI) innovation, talent, research, and benefits on a regional and global scale. AI Central will kickstart in Gainesville this week with a series of AI-centered events on November 9 and 10 across the University of Florida.
The University of Florida shares Meraglim’s vision to lead the next generation of AI advancement, which is why Meraglim moved the headquarters of its Raven Predictive Analytics® SaaS to the heart of AI development at UF Innovate | Accelerate in Gainesville, Florida. Raven Predictive Analytics® is the first service in the world to incorporate complexity science with human and machine intelligence into predictive analytics for capital markets. It is a groundbreaking technology that can identify global threats and opportunities for its subscribers, 24/7.
"Artificial intelligence is a dominant trend in computer science today,” said James Rickards, co-founder and chief global strategist for Meraglim. “While projects are being pursued all over the world, there is yet no single center of excellence. The University of Florida and the City of Gainesville have the resources and momentum to be that center of excellence. I am pleased to be associated with their AI Central launch both personally and through our firm Meraglim and its Raven Predictive Analytics® SaaS.”
