We’re an Artificial Intelligence company that applies causal reasoning to complex business problems. 32 years ago, Dr. Doug Lenat placed a bet. He believed the future of problem solving was not in conventional computing, but in an intelligent system that could understand the meaning of the data it was interpreting. Like a person would. So he left his tenured computer science position at Stanford and pursued his dream. It took over 1 million PhD hours, but his long shot paid off. And now Lucid is ready to offer the world’s most robust collection of structured knowledge and the strongest causal reasoning platform to solve intricate problems in commercial applications. We are particularly focused in financial services, healthcare, energy and commerce. But our innovation doesn’t stop there. We also have an Ethics Advisory Panel – a first for any Artificial Intelligence Company – that guides the growth of our world-changing technology.
