Niraj Gohil is aiming at building the technology to give people command over their own attention, the scarce faculty in an age of abundant machine intelligence.
He is a systems engineer by training, with peer-reviewed research on the life cycle analysis of electrolytic hydrogen production and on dynamic modeling of the U.S. semiconductor supply chain, now working on solving the problem of human attention through technology.
His essay The Oldest Problem That Was Never Solved sets out the problem he is building to solve: as intelligence becomes abundant and nearly free, the one thing that still separates those who wield it from those who merely stand beside it is command, the power to choose what your mind works on and carry it through to something finished.
