Torch.AI, the Data Infrastructure AI Pioneers, announced the launch of a new laboratory for AI & data innovation and research, the Torch.AI All-Source Fusion Lab. The lab is a facility designed for data engineers, data scientists, software developers and intelligence and operations analysts to research, test, design, and develop prototypes that apply machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies making machines and humans more productive by transforming complex data into actionable, real-time information.
Torch.AI’s lab, located at the company’s Kansas City headquarters, is expected to become a catalyst for AI innovation and research in the region.Its initial focus will support the development, demonstration, and advancement of capabilities that can rapidly analyze data across a wide variety of data sources, as well as information mined from publicly available information (PAI).

“We are excited to use the new facility to bring together national and regional expertise to study some of the most difficult problems of our time: human trafficking, school safety, political unrest, and nation state threat,” said Brian Weaver, Torch.AI CEO. “And we are really excited to invite the public to join some of these sessions. We think it is the start of something much much bigger in the KC region.”
Torch.AI practitioners have already used the lab to develop new patents and technologies, such as Torch.AI’s Generative Graph Auto-Oriented Transformer (GOAT), in-flight AI-based data processing, graph-based network detection, entity resolution and tracking, all-source data fusion, and data quality analysis.
