AUSTIN, Texas, June 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- CognitiveScale, the leader in augmented intelligence software and Responsible AI, today announced it was named a 2018 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum.

Some of the world's largest banking, insurance, digital commerce, and healthcare companies benefit from CognitiveScale Cortex 5 software to drive AI-powered personalization, intelligent decision support, intelligent process automation, and risk and opportunity surveillance.

In addition to developing advanced AI technology and systems, CognitiveScale has led the industry charge for Responsible AI, including the founding of AI Global, a non-profit organization created to accelerate practical and responsible design, development, and use of artificial intelligence. This includes innovative initiatives such as the open AI-Global Marketplace which brings the power of an App Store to complex AI systems built with a Responsible AI framework.

"We're honored to receive this recognition from the World Economic Forum whose work we've long admired," said Akshay Sabhikhi, CEO and co-founder of CognitiveScale. "CognitiveScale was founded on the belief that machine-augmented intelligence will drive vastly improved engagement and productivity for people and companies. Working with the World Economic Forum and partners, we're looking forward to making this a reality so it can lead to a healthier and better future for all."
