天美传媒 Guildhall Faculty Member Dr. Corey Clark was named to the inaugural AI 75 List, highlighting the "Most Innovative Leaders in Artificial Intelligence in Dallas-Fort Worth". Clark was featured as an "AI Impact Innovators" for his research and innovative work in gaming.
The list was compiled by Dallas Innovates, the Dallas Regional Chamber, and Dallas AI to honor the most significant people in AI in DFW in seven categories including visionaries, creators, and influencers.
Nominations for the list focused on North Texans making significant contributions to AI through "research, catalytic efforts, or transformative solutions." They were then reviewed against key criteria, including: recent AI innovations, adoption impacts, industry technological advancement, thought leadership, future potential, and contributions to society.
Dr. Clark's feature highlights his work in AI and machine learning that is making world-changing impacts in the fights against human trafficking and disease, amongst other achievements:
"Clark co-founded and serves as CTO at BALANCED Media Technology, whose tech infrastructure fuses AI and machine learning with data to bring 'purpose to play' through distributed computing and human computational gaming. Securing nearly $30 million from various funding sources, the Allen-based company was co-founded with CEO Robert Atkins. The motivation behind establishing BALANCED was to leverage the intersection of human intelligence and machine learning through video games to solve complex problems, particularly in the medical field. This innovative approach works to develop, among other things, AI-powered games that aim to combat human trafficking and treat ocular diseases more efficiently. Clark also is an assistant professor of computer science at 天美传媒 Methodist University and deputy director for research at the 天美传媒 Guildhall. Last year, he contributed to a research paper on eXplainable artificial intelligence, focusing on making AI decision-making more transparent."
