Our vision
Bruised Reed Technologies (BRT) envisions a world in which the time it takes for a person to “come to know” complex things is dramatically reduced. AI and ubiquitous access to information have reset expectations for human productivity and innovation. These technologies don’t replace humans but instead reduce our “cognitive load” so that we can use our minds for more advanced levels of thinking, allowing us to comprehend, produce, and innovate in shorter periods of time. The BRT learning model will level the playing field for those who are disadvantaged or uncertain about how to access this new world and its resources. We want no one to be left out.
The convergence of written and printed information enhanced by computers, oratorial information recorded as videos, and artificial intelligence (AI) produces a perfect storm out of which BRT can create a new model for learning. The beauty of this model is that it builds on simple building blocks that we already know and understand. We are all familiar with creating something new by having all of our written research documents scattered all over our desktop, watching videos or speeches of those who spoke on the subject of interest, and using these two inputs together with your own logic or brain to create or discern something new and unique. At the heart of this process still lies the human being, the greatest creative force on earth, created by our creator, God, in His own image.
Modern humans “come to know” (learn) and create by listening to those who have something to teach them (live teaching or video), accessing the volumes of written research related to what the speaker is saying (written information), and applying logic (using their own brains) to process and analyze this information (what is said and what is read).
BRT will create technology that accelerates the speed of this time-tested, intuitive process of coming to know (learning) and creating by providing humans quick access to orations they need (videos), putting access to volumes of written research related to what the presenter is saying at their fingertips, and using AI to help with rudimentary levels of thinking so that the creator or inquisitor (human) uses their brain power for what matters most. The BRT model reinforces the person as the creative force at the center of discovery and innovation (not information and AI). Information and AI are tools that allow the person to discover and innovate more quickly and at greater depths.
