POTOMAC, Md., Aug. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Z Advanced Computing, Inc. (ZAC), the pioneer CognitiveExplainable-AI (Artificial Intelligence) (Cognitive XAI or CXAI) software startup, has been recognized to help US achieve AI supremacy, with respect to the rest of the world, especially China (The Washington Times, "China plots merger of man, machine to claim AI supremacy", by Ryan Lovelace, 22 and 23-July-2025). Since 2011, ZAC scientists have achieved many AI tech breakthroughs, based on CXAI algorithms (human/ brain-inspiredConcept Learning) on ZAC horizontal AI platform, e.g., requiring:
ZAC Cognitive Explainable-AI (CXAI) algorithms, based on Concept-Learning, have many major advantages over other AI/ ML algorithms in the industry and academia, including the industry’s state-of-the-art, such as Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and LLM. The ZAC capabilities/ results have already been demonstrated on the projects for US Air Force and Bosch/ BSH, for the detailed complex 3D image/ object recognition from any view angle. (All values in the table are typical/ approximate.)
only a few training samples (typically 5 to 50), instead of 1000s to Billions,
much less computation resources (e.g., much smaller number of CPU/ GPU),
much less energy/battery (i.e., Carbon footprint), and
much smaller size/weight (especially, critical for the Edge/Mobile Computing applications).
These are significant milestones/ breakthroughs in AI and machine learning (ML), demonstrated, e.g., in projects for US Air Force (USAF) (Aerial Images) and Bosch/ BSH (Smart Appliances).
"As far as I know, ZAC is the only company or group in the world that can do the AI training with typically 5 to 50 training samples," said Dr. Bijan Tadayon, CEO of ZAC.
ZAC owns a very strong IP portfolio with over 450 inventions, including 14 issued US patents.
ZAC has an impressive team of scientists and developers. The development is headed by Dr. Saied Tadayon, a scientist, veteran software developer, and math prodigy, who ranked 1st as an undergrad at Cornell and got his PhD in Electrical Engineering from Cornell at age 23 (the youngest).
ZAC world-renowned advisors include Prof. David Lee (Nobel Laureate, Physics), Prof. Mory Gharib (former Caltech Vice Provost of Research), Prof. Gholam Peyman, MD (Inventor of LASIK; and awarded National Medal of Technology and Innovation by US President), late Prof. Robert Buhrman (former Cornell Sr. Vice Provost of Research), Prof. Mike Spencer (former Cornell Associate Dean of Engineering for Research), and Prof. Mo Jamshidi (UTSA, former Founding Dir. of NASA Center for Autonomous Control; and US Army Science Board). The late Prof. Lotfi Zadeh of UC Berkeley ("Father of Fuzzy Logic"; co-inventor of Z-Transform; and AI Hall-of-Fame) is also one of ZAC inventors.
Some applications of ZAC Tech are: autonomous vehicles, satellite/aerial images, security/biometrics, medical imaging, drug discovery, e-commerce/ads, manufacturing/defect detection, and smart cities/homes/appliances.
