In today’s episode of the podcast, we are once again joined by Michael Puscar, a Serial Entrepreneur, Data Scientist, Investor, Philanthropist, and the founder of NPCx.
Longtime listeners of the show will be familiar with Puscar, as he was previously on back in February 2020. Puscar kicks of the show by giving some background on himself for new listeners and shares what he has been up to since then.
Puscar briefly introduces his background as an AI expert and serial entrepreneur and highlights that he has had three successful exits, most recently in May 2023.
Puscar then gives us an update on Ziotag, a company where Michael was the CTO, and it was a key topic of the last episode together. Michael explains how Ziotag used AI to make videos more interactive and navigable, and discusses how generative AI models like ChatGPT disrupted the industry by performing content classification. He also talks about the patent he received for a unique natural language processing engine related to video transcripts.
Following this we talk about his new focus, NPCx, and its goal to enhance realism in video games. Puscar details how NPCX's technology models characters' movements and behaviors based on real human actions. He discusses the potential for NPCx technology to create video games that resemble animated films, and raises ethical concerns regarding the use of such technology and the potential for misuse.
And finally, Puscar talks about his charitable initiatives. In this part of the interview, Puscar shares his belief in entrepreneurs giving back to the communities that support them. He talks about his initiatives supporting children, young mothers, and raising awareness about mast cell syndrome.
