🤩🎉 We're excited to announce that Diveplane has officially relaunched as Howso and our new open-source AI engine is now available for free download on GitHub! The world is being wowed by new #AI applications…but these tools are black boxes which provide no traceability, transparency, or accountability. We’re proud to launch the new Howso Engine into open-source as an alternative to black-box AI libraries in use today. Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Michael Capps and co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Chris Hazard spoke with Kyt Dotson of SiliconANGLE & theCUBE about how our company was founded to change how AI is used in people’s lives, and how this open-source launch will change the trajectory of AI adoption.

AI without compromise.
About us
The AI landscape is dominated by solutions that sacrifice integrity for power. We refuse to compromise. We’re on a mission to make trustworthy AI the global standard. To advance this mission, we’ve launched an open source alternative to black box AI called Howso Engine. It’s an auditable ML framework that brings groundbreaking explainability and performance to AI. We’ve also built an enterprise synthetic data platform atop Engine called Howso Synthesizer. It’s a solution that helps companies train AI/ML models with accurate, private, and auditable data. Howso Engine and Synthesizer are only the beginning, but they are already being used by global financial institutions, health care systems, and governments across the world. We’re building high-performance AI that you can trust. Howso (formerly “Diveplane”) was co-founded by Dr. Mike Capps, Dr. Chris Hazard, and Mike Resnick in 2017. In September 2023, the company renamed the company alongside the release of the open source version of Engine in a critical step towards meaningful social impact.

Please help us welcome our new CEO, Gaurav Rao!

Not all synthetic is created equal. In fact, most synthetic data platforms fail to generate trustworthy, auditable data. At Howso, we do things differently. In this week's blog post, Technical PM Bridgette Befort breaks down our 6 step process for generating great synthetic data. Link below in the comments.

Howso goes to Capitol Hill. Co-founder and CEO Michael Capps was invited to participate in the 7th U.S. Senate AI Insight Forum this past week. Organized by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the forum brings AI experts and legislators together in order to educate lawmakers on pressing AI issues. Here's a quick rundown on the points Mike Capps made: 1. True transparency in AI requires attribution to the source data. 2. Transparent AI is possible but requires further investment and development. 3. Future regulation should focus on AI outcomes that pose the greatest threat. 4. Howso Engine serves as a resounding rebuttal of the flawed notion that transparent AI is not yet possible. You can find a link to Mike Capps' full statement for the forum in the comments below.
