TTSA’s AI Capability is the Beginning of New Possibilities
To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science has brought on Joe Schurman.
Schurman will take charge of ‘Cloud-Native Product/Engineering and Artificial Intelligence.’
TTSA describes Schurman’s responsibilities as such:
With 25 years of experience, Schurman will provide thought leadership in Cloud-Native Product Engineering Services to focus the company’s strategy and execution of artificial intelligence for its digital product initiatives, including S.C.O.U.T. and The V.A.U.L.T.
I look forward to what comes of this for a couple reasons.
- I did not anticipate that TTSA would delve into the realm of AI. Admittedly, it was difficult to decipher exactly what the company planned to do when it first started in 2017. But this just adds another layer to a company that has been successfully expanding in what appears to be every direction.
- The Artificial Intelligence pocket of TTSA is set to directly focus on sharpening the capabilities of The VAULT — a database designed to house any and all authentic cases and sightings of UAPs.
I wrote an article in the past that discussed The VAULT in more detail. The VAULT has a shot at being the most comprehensive data-collection tool for the acquisition for UAP information ever made — second only to the capabilities and resources of the government itself.
You can check out my previous story on The VAULT here.
This is what Chris Mellon — TTSA’s National Policy Advisor — had to say about Schurman:
“Joe’s extraordinary depth of knowledge and expertise will make it possible for TTSA to provide the world’s most comprehensive, reliable and authoritative repository of UAP information. This is accomplished in part by using AI to identify and filter manipulated data, similar to how AI can be trained to recognize cancer cells. This vital capability will run in real time, helping to eliminate false positives when TTSA’s S.C.O.U.T. app notifies users of UAP sightings found in close proximity to their location. Those users in turn will be able to collect data from different angles and locations, helping to clarify the size, location and appearance of unidentified objects. These are unique capabilities TTSA simply wouldn’t be able to provide without Joe’s knowledge, leadership and dedication.”
This touches on one of the most important bits of technology that makes The VAULT possible: the ability to locate, diagnose, and filter ‘false positives.’ One of the biggest challenges in solidifying the study of Ufology is that it is sometimes impossible to distinguish what is real and what is a hoax. It is also important to keep in mind, as with anything, that ninety-nine percent of anything can be false or a hoax, but that does not invalidate the truth and authenticity of the remaining one percent.
I am not sure that this technology could ever legitimately rival the government, but it is possible that TTSA could receive so much support from the public that it subverts the government’s investigative efforts when it comes to UAPs.
- TTSA could begin developing its own aircraft. Even if this is with the help of other larger companies, such as SpaceX et al. (I am only providing possibilities, nothing more.)
- The public may be more likely to contact TTSA if they were to see something anomalous, having lost trust that the government would be transparent about its findings. (The VAULT will work to create trust between TTSA and the general public.)
- The VAULT will also provide a method of investigating anomalous activity not from the viewpoint of ‘national security,’ but in an effort to find our existential place in the cosmos. (I believe people are more interested in this question than any other when it comes to the phenomenon.)
The issue with these possibilities is that it does not solve the classified information the government already has about UFOs/ET. And in order to move forward in the investigation, there has to be a concession that we may never see those documents.
We have a right to know what happens above our heads when we lay down to sleep at night.
Think about that.
Joe Schurman — as a solid addition to TTSA — will only get us closer to an answer.
