A strong scientific discipline is key to the success of any AI focused startup. And having the best minds working on your problem, is the only way to generate category challenging results.
With that, I’m extremely excited to announce the appointment of Dr. Stephen Moore as our Chief Scientific Officer.

President Obama reminded Americans in his first term that America has neighbors on both it’s Atlantic and it’s Pacific coasts. That was not lost on us— as we broaden the markets in which we compete. At Kairos, we see great promise in the region, and feel confident that having a strong presence and leader there in Dr. Moore, is integral to our growth efforts in Singapore and beyond. His talents in combination with his connections in Europe and Asia will prove invaluable to our growth.
“Face recognition is on the edge of proliferation in our society. Kairos is one of the few technology companies that are guiding this process in a ethical manner.
