In the ever-evolving and exciting world of technology, fashion, and beauty — artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) are set to redefine our everyday experiences and expand what was only reserved for movies. These cutting-edge innovations promise to alter the fabric of society and self-expression itself. 
Envision a future where automation, predictive modeling, and personalized interactions integrate seamlessly with our physical environment, creating an unimaginable universe of possibilities. What we imagine, we can create. It's a world waiting to emerge, brought to life by visionaries with foresight, and an acute sense of responsibility to navigate ethical concerns like job displacement and privacy infringement.
Enter Samuel J. Deutsch, the driving force behind SAVANT, an AI company with proprietary technology in computer vision and machine learning, founded in 2020, that specializes in experimental and immersive luxury beauty.

To break the ordinary, 'SAVANT' was named to capture the essence of Deutsch's radical vision. In his own words: "We are tearing up the rule book, embracing the radical and subverting convention." His team adheres to a credo that challenges existing norms and steadfastly purses the extraordinary. An artist himself, Deutsch's talent in black-and-white photography, was honed under the guidance of a renowned 20th-century photographer, and provides the foundation for his unique perspective and ways of viewing the world. 
As a alumnus of the University of California, Berkeley, and an award-winning athlete, Deutsch channels his unwavering drive and resilient perseverance into leading SAVANT into uncharted territories. Before venturing into technology, he held esteemed positions such as Managing Director, Head of Development at Capella Hotels & Resorts, and contributed to tech-driven innovations in luxury travel through startups like Jetsetter and InsiderEscapes. Samuel's innate instinct and business acumen have enabled him to identify transformative opportunities and cultivate groundbreaking brands.

Award-winning filmmaker Catherine Hardwicke commented, "Samuel is fearless in his exciting visions for the future. He's passionate about pushing the boundaries of tech and art to achieve sexy, startling results."
SAVANT’s mission is bigger than even this technological opportunity - it’s about positive change and contribution to society. Deutsch was recently co-chair for the pediatric cancer charity, Aspen Snow Ball, which raised $2.5 million, and has consistently raised funds for cancer research over the last 15 years. Possessing an unwavering commitment to creating value in both business and philanthropy, Deutsch stands as a beacon of light for a conscientious and enterprising future; as a baseline commitment moving forward, all subsidiary companies of SAVANT will donate 10% of revenue proceeds to charity.
