Building Trust in AI: Data Squared’s Breakthrough for Energy & Defense

In this episode of Energy Newsbeat – Conversations in Energy, Stuart Turley speaks with Jon Brewton, CEO of Data Squared, about their groundbreaking work in AI and data management. Jon explains how their patented system eliminates AI hallucinations, making AI more trustworthy and transparent for industries like defense, energy, and engineering. They discuss the challenges of scaling AI, its applications in energy grid management, and the value of integrating various data types to optimize decision-making. This conversation sheds light on how AI can drive real-world solutions with reliability and explainability. This is huge, with new patents in hand, Data2 Squared is helping add accountability to AI. I have been learning a great deal about AI through the podcast series on AI and Data Centers, which is significant. The U.S. government and energy sectors will find Jon's company and his resources critical. For the U.S. to achieve energy dominance, it must also be AI Dominant. I applaud the accountability that Jon's team has successfully implemented.
