About Wave3AI

Wave3AI is the applied research and advisory practice of Dr. Darrell Young and collaborators. The focus is on thoughtful, real-world uses of AI and digital trust concepts, with an emphasis on safety, governance, and human outcomes.

Background

Dr. Young has spent multiple decades working at the intersection of engineering, AI/ML, and complex systems, including roles in industry and academia. His work has included topics such as signal processing, sensing, human–machine teaming, and applied AI.

Wave3AI was established as a way to explore these ideas in a more focused, independent setting. Today the practice works with a small number of organizations at a time, providing analysis, advisory support, and scoped research collaborations.
