Educational technology start-up Kidaptive recently closed a $19 million Series C round of funding. The company's co-founder and CEO P.J. Gunsagar explains how this surge of funding is impacting Kidaptive's plans.
Gunsagar says this funding will help his company tackle new clients, improve algorithms, and provide the ability to expand into new markets.
"The demand for parents for the kind of analytics we provide is very high," explains Gunsagar. "At the heart of everything we do is the learner model--we take a very holistic approach to understanding who that child is across several learning dimensions."
Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft and other companies that are leading the development of artificial intelligence technology have agreed to meet a set of AI safeguards brokered by President Joe Biden's administration.
The Biden administration and major consumer technology players on Tuesday launched an effort to put a nationwide cybersecurity certification and labeling program in place to help consumers choose smart devices that are less vulnerable to hacking.
