Artificial Intelligence

EmQuo leverages artificial intelligence to teach emotional intelligence. With an initial rollout to the corporate L&D space to tackle the $359 billion loss in global productivity from workplace conflict, EmQuo is the first application on a scalable technology platform that helps social science researchers translate their psychological models out of academia into the real world through just-in-time, micro-learning interventions and predictive behavioral analytics.

EmQuo is being incubated through an interdisciplinary academic/industry collaboration at Columbia University.
