W. Justin Fournell-Baker

My work is focused on a critical failure in today's artificial intelligence: the absence of genuine empathy. I am architecting the foundation for systems that don't just process commands, but truly understand human reality. This mission is informed by two distinct worlds: the structured discipline of my U.S. Navy service and a profound, lived understanding of the human cost when systems fail. This unique synthesis of rigorous engineering and authentic human insight is the driving force behind EM-NOUS Technologies. At EM-NOUS, we are building the causal substrate for functionally sentient AI. Our goal is to create the emotional engine that will allow developers and companies to build more intuitive products, effective therapies, and meaningful human-computer interaction. We are turning an abstract vision into a concrete, engineering reality. The next great leap in technology will be emotional, not just computational. I am looking for visionary developers, labs, and partners who are ready to build a more conscious and connected future. If this aligns with your mission, let's connect.
