ZAC Concept Learning Artificial Intelligence (AI) recognized as far superior algorithm to achieve Level-5 Self-Driving than Neural Nets

POTOMAC, Md., Aug. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Z Advanced Computing, Inc. (ZAC), the pioneer CognitiveExplainable-AI (Artificial Intelligence) (Cognitive XAI or CXAI) software startup, has been recognized as far superior to the current algorithms (e.g., Neural Net or Deep CNN) to achieve Level-5 Self-Driving in the future (Automotive World, "Neural networks might not be optimal for commercial autonomous vehicles, opening the field to different approaches", by Will Girling, 25-July-2025).  ZAC brain-inspiredConcept Learning algorithms can understand, analyze, and handle complex,unexpected, or rare situations/events, which is a fundamental pre-requisite for Situational Awareness needed for Level-5 Self-Driving.  ZAC can also fuse multi-modal sensors/data.  Furthermore, ZAC requires:

ZAC can understand unexpected/rare situations/events, a pre-requisite for Situational Awareness for Level-5 Self-Driving

• only a few training samples (typically 5 to 50 (instead of 1000s to Billions)), based on Abstraction/Generalization of Concepts/objects;
• much smaller computation resources (CPU/GPU) & energy/battery/Carbon footprint/size/weight.

Therefore, ZAC will remove the need for:

• remote human driver/Tele-Operator,
• simulated training samples,
• geofencing/limiting range of operation,
• memorizing all street signs in the map.

ZAC owns a very strong IP portfolio with over 450 inventions, including 14 issued US patents.  ZAC has also been recognized as having "Key Patents in AI" ("AI-related inventions -The AI Patent Landscape", The Royal Society (IP Pragmatics Limited), Filip Silvestre & Amy Lam, May 2023).

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 1^st 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.
