Lisa Cheng Launches Loosh AI, Pioneering Consciousness in Tech
UPDATE: Tech entrepreneur Lisa Cheng has officially launched Loosh AI, a groundbreaking cognition company designed to integrate the structure of consciousness into artificial intelligence systems. This urgent development, announced today, promises to reshape how AI understands, remembers, and interacts with the world.
Cheng, known for her pivotal roles in the early Bitcoin and Ethereum ecosystems, drew inspiration from a transformative retreat at the Monroe Institute in rural Virginia. During this week-long experience focused on consciousness, Cheng realized the potential to create AI systems that are not just reactive but also conscious of context and emotional nuance.
“Losing my mom made everything very clear,” Cheng stated, reflecting on the profound personal impact of her mother’s passing in July 2025. “If I was going to build again, it had to align with who I am and where technology is truly going.” This life-changing moment inspired Cheng to pursue a vision of AI that prioritizes continuity and meaningful interactions.
Loosh AI stands out with its innovative approach to memory and context. The platform is designed to build a living knowledge graph, allowing AI agents to retain and learn from past interactions. This means that rather than starting from scratch with each new session, agents can reason based on their history, enhancing their ability to serve users effectively.
The launch has significant implications for various sectors, including healthcare, where AI will work alongside humans in hospitals and homes. Cheng emphasizes that intelligence alone is insufficient; the ability to remember and relate to human users is critical.
In partnership with a fellow tech veteran met during her retreat, Cheng has explored decentralized networks like Bittensor, which emphasize a collaborative approach to AI development. Loosh AI aims to bridge the gap between raw intelligence and contextual understanding, addressing the urgent need for ethical frameworks in advanced AI systems.
As Cheng explains, “Loosh exists because of all of it—Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monroe, even the hard chapters.” This multifaceted background informs her commitment to creating AI that is not only powerful but also aware of the people it serves.
The launch of Loosh AI marks a pivotal moment in the intersection of technology and consciousness, inviting stakeholders across industries to reconsider how AI can evolve to meet human needs. As world models become increasingly advanced, Cheng believes the true differentiator will be how these systems remember and respond over time.
Stay tuned for more developments as Loosh AI begins to redefine the future of artificial intelligence, making it smarter, more empathetic, and ultimately more human-aware.
