The startup emerging from stealth mode focuses on measuring human originality in artificial intelligence environments.
Hupside, Jonathan Aberman’s new company, that is starting to emerge from stealth mode, has named Justin Fanelli to its advisory board.
Fanelli is the Navy’s chief technology officer, while Hupside is a startup that works with companies and government agencies on quantifying and measuring human originality in artificial intelligence environments.
“We are in a pivotal moment where the organizations that thrive will be those that understand how to integrate AI with truly original human thinking,” Fanelli said in a release Wednesday. “Hupside’s approach makes that integration measurable and actionable.”
Identifying people who can think for themselves and work with AI is the “edge every forward-looking organization needs right now,” Fanelli said.
In addition to his CTO role, Fanelli is also the technical director for the Navy's Program Executive Office Digital and oversees a $3 billion portfolio of emerging technologies.
“Justin is a driving force in the federal government’s AI transformation,” Aberman said. “He has been at the table for some of the most important digital modernization efforts happening today, and he understands better than anyone that AI alone doesn’t drive impact—people do.”
As AI reshapes how work gets done, Hupside helps organizations to identify individuals who can lead with originality and amplify the potential of human-AI collaboration.
Fanelli’s appointment comes ahead of Hupside’s upcoming public beta release, and as the company continues to expand its advisory network and introduce its Original Intelligence platform to teams navigating digital transformation across sectors.
