PR Newswire ·  2023/05/22 20:00

LEESBURG, Va., May 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Computing Inc. ("QCI" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: QUBT), the first-to-market full-stack photonic-based quantum computing and solutions company, today announced that its Board of Directors has unanimously approved the signing of a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire up to 100% of the AI firm, millionways, creator of the world's first emotionally-intelligent AI platform, pending the completion of due diligence by independent third party valuation and fairness opinion firms. The LOI follows the teaming and combining of millionways' AI sensing algorithms with QCI's quantum photonics computing power, including substantive progress made since the Company's initial testing engagement announced in April 2023.

弗吉尼亚州利斯堡2023年5月22日 /PRNewswire/ — 首家上市的基于光子的全栈量子计算和解决方案公司Quantum Computing Inc.(“QCI” 或 “公司”)(纳斯达克股票代码:QUBT)今天宣布,其董事会一致批准签署一份不具约束力的意向书(LOI),以收购这家人工智能公司millionways多达100%的股份,该公司是世界上第一个待定情感智能人工智能平台的创建者,独立第三方估值和公平意见公司完成尽职调查。LOI遵循了millionways的人工智能传感算法与QCI的量子光子学计算能力的结合和组合, 包括自公司宣布首次测试以来取得的实质性进展 2023 年 4 月

Based in New York City, millionways is a leader in the development of AI algorithms used to effectively provide next-gen feedback to users on their emotional state and personality insights. Millionways' advanced emotionally-intelligent AI platform uniquely combines analysis and matchmaking algorithms based upon various forms of user-generated text or audio-to-text data with at least 500 words. The technology offers quick-turnaround analysis. Unlike other machine learning platforms such as ChatGPT, Alexa, or Siri, the millionways proprietary methodology and algorithms make behavorial predictions based on psychological patterns driven by underlying emotions. The methodology, known as Personality Systems Interactive (PSI) theory, is a recognized and validated model for studying the dynamics of personality development and emotional state. The millionways AI model delivers human behavior personality assessments that have clear applications in making the most informed decisions in healthcare, hiring, dating, customer relations, and general applications where social interactions drive behavorial outcomes.

基于 纽约市,millionways是开发人工智能算法的领导者,这些算法可以有效地向用户提供有关其情绪状态和个性见解的下一代反馈。Millionways先进的情感智能人工智能平台独特地结合了分析和匹配算法,这些算法基于用户生成的各种形式的文本或音频到文本数据,至少包含500个单词。该技术提供了快速周转的分析。与ChatGPT、Alexa或Siri等其他机器学习平台不同,millionways的专有方法和算法根据潜在情绪驱动的心理模式做出行为预测。这种方法被称为人格系统交互式(PSI)理论,是研究人格发展和情绪状态动态的公认和验证模型。millionways 人工智能模型提供人类行为个性评估,在医疗保健、招聘、约会、客户关系以及社交互动推动行为结果的一般应用中做出最明智的决策。

Over the past year, QCI has built and tested multiple hybrid AI hardware systems using photonics and quantum mechanics to boost machine learning efficiency, reduce the power consumption, and significantly speed up the training. Those systems have demonstrated substantial advantages over existing digital electronic hardware for many AI applications. Upon those successes, the QCI near-term strategy includes (1) offering laptop/desktop-size devices for sale, (2) seeking industry partnerships to explore various applications in different application domains, and (3) partnering with millionways to demonstrate/highlight the Company's commitment to AI and accelerate its entrance into the industry.

在过去的一年中,QCI 使用光子学和量子力学构建和测试了多个混合人工智能硬件系统,以提高机器学习效率、降低功耗并显著加快训练速度。在许多人工智能应用中,与现有的数字电子硬件相比,这些系统已显示出显著的优势。在这些成功的基础上,QCI的短期战略包括(1)提供笔记本电脑/台式机大小的设备供出售,(2)寻求行业合作伙伴以探索不同应用领域的各种应用,以及(3)与millionways合作,展示/强调公司对人工智能的承诺并加快其进入该行业的步伐。

Robert Liscouski, QCI's CEO and co-founder commented that, "The strategic integration with QCI's Reservoir Computing systems will "supercharge" millionways' algorithms to ingest audio files, adding a significant new capability to overlay context and tonal information to the existing natural language processing to text conversion data used by the system today. Emotionally-intelligent AI can be continuously fed with voice entries and ultimately live video to recognize patterns and unconscious moods directly within speech and body, thus returning a more accurate and comprehensive personality analysis of a user."

罗伯特·利斯库斯基,QCI首席执行官兼联合创始人评论说:“与QCI的Reservor Computing系统的战略整合将 “增强” millionways采集音频文件的算法,从而增加一项重要的新功能,可以将上下文和色调信息叠加到现有的自然语言处理中,再到当今系统使用的文本转换数据。情感智能的人工智能可以通过语音条目和最终的实时视频持续提供信息,直接识别语音和身体中的模式和潜意识情绪,从而返回对用户的更准确、更全面的个性分析。”

Mr. Liscouski continued, "The rise of AI applications relies on the fast expansion of computing power and lowering its voracious need for electricity. QCI's hybrid hardware solutions meet the evolving needs of AI and delivers remarkable computing speed, low electric power needs with minimal heat dispersion and supports large-scale parallel processing and thereby the agility to compete with large data centers on big data challenges. This particular partnership will enable the development of new personality algorithms that can be trained and adapted much faster, more accurately and at lower cost."

利斯库斯基继续说:“人工智能应用的兴起取决于计算能力的快速扩张及其对电力的大量需求的降低。QCI 的混合硬件解决方案可满足不断变化的 AI 需求,以最小的热分散提供卓越的计算速度和低电力需求,支持大规模并行处理,从而灵活地与大型数据中心竞争应对大数据挑战。这种特殊的伙伴关系将使新的个性算法的开发成为可能,这些算法可以更快、更准确和更低的成本进行训练和调整。”

Mr. Liscouski noted, "It is our long term stated mission to democratize quantum technologies and bring this power to AI companies, affording them the ability to compete at levels that heretofore have only been open to large and well-funded companies. Importantly, we recognize that the field of AI is quickly evolving and has come under significant scrutiny. QCI and millionways are aligned to demonstrate that the combination of our technologies will be able to ensure the integrity of the output of AI systems and determine if text, speech or video is fake or real."

利斯库斯基指出:“我们的长期使命是实现量子技术的民主化,将这种力量带给人工智能公司,使它们能够在迄今为止只有大型且资金充足的公司才能进入的水平上竞争。重要的是,我们认识到,人工智能领域正在迅速发展,并受到了严格审查。QCI和millionways共同证明我们的技术组合将能够确保人工智能系统输出的完整性,并确定文本、语音或视频是假的还是真实的。”

According to the terms of the LOI, QCI will provide a series of three bridge loans to millionways starting at $125,000 and potentially aggregating up to $2,000,000, at QCI's discretion. Upon the completion of the first bridge loan, QCI will have the right of first refusal ("RoFR") to purchase millionways for a one-year period. Upon completion of the final bridge loan, QCI's RoFR will include a predetermined maximum valuation. The bridge loans would carry an interest rate of 10% per annum, a term of 12 months and will be pari passu to all other existing debt of millionways, excluding any payables to the key internal stakeholders. In the event QCI enters into the proposed three bridge loans and decides not to proceed with an acquisition of millionways, the bridge loans would become senior to all existing debt with the exception of short-term bank lines and similar short-term obligations. Furthermore, QCI has the option to convert the bridge loans at any time into SAFE notes, which would not carry an interest rate, but would be convertible into shares of millionways common stock at the lowest discount provided to other investors.

根据意向书的条款,QCI将向millionways提供一系列三笔过渡贷款,起价为 125,000 美元 并可能汇总到 2,000,000 美元,由 QCI 自行决定。第一笔过渡贷款完成后,QCI将拥有优先拒绝权(“RoFR”),在为期一年的时间内购买millionways。最后一笔过渡贷款完成后,QCI的RoFR将包括预先确定的最大估值。过渡贷款的年利率为10%,期限为12个月,将与millionways的所有其他现有债务相同,不包括向主要内部利益相关者支付的任何应付账款。如果QCI签订了拟议的三笔过渡贷款并决定不继续收购millionways,则过渡贷款将优先于所有现有债务,短期银行额度和类似的短期债务除外。此外,QCI可以随时选择将过渡贷款转换为SAFE票据,该票据不计利率,但可以以提供给其他投资者的最低折扣转换为millionways普通股。

Martin Cordsmeier, CEO of millionways stated, "The market for a low-cost ability to objectively analyze individual personalities en mass is an extremely large and lucrative market. In the quantum space, QCI has established itself as a leader in hardware innovation and commercialization. Like QCI, millionways has already begun commercialization. As of last summer, we have conducted preliminary integration of use cases with over 50 major US companies. Also, like QCI, we have a core technology that can be easily and affordably flexed to solve major business challenges in any industry, which makes the idea of combining our two teams even more attractive. Within the first few days of our launching our testing engagement in April, it became apparent that using QCI's unique hybrid systems of quantum, photonics, and electronics would allow our AI developers the ability to extend our already vast capabilities using the massive increase in processing power with amazingly low electricity costs. Even more impressive, given the predictive and virtually simultaneous processing capability of QCI in all matters of rich media, future applications of our combined technology could be endless."

millionways首席执行官Martin Cordsmeier表示:“能够大规模客观分析个人个性的低成本市场是一个非常庞大且利润丰厚的市场。在量子领域,QCI 已确立自己作为硬件创新和商业化领导者的地位。像QCI一样,millionways已经开始商业化。截至去年夏天,我们已经与50多家美国主要公司进行了用例的初步整合。此外,与QCI一样,我们的核心技术可以轻松且经济地灵活运用,以解决任何行业的重大业务挑战,这使得合并我们两个团队的想法更具吸引力。在我们于四月份启动测试活动的最初几天内,很明显,使用QCI独特的量子、光子学和电子混合系统将使我们的人工智能开发人员能够利用处理能力的大幅增加来扩展我们本已强大的能力,同时电力成本低得惊人。更令人印象深刻的是,鉴于 QCI 在所有富媒体事务中的预测和几乎同步处理能力,我们的组合技术的未来应用可能无穷无尽。”
