Eticas.ai was established in the US in 2023 after successfully closing a super-angel round, to disrupt the AI sector with a groundbreaking premise: you can’t code a society you don’t understand. As the data that trains AI comes from a complex society and impacts a complex society, AI can’t be seen as a technical problem. The challenges faced by AI are socio-technical in nature and can only be understood from a multi-disciplinary perspective and using multi-disciplinary tools.
This approach is not a thought we had in 2023. Our insight comes from over a decade of experience working with the industry and policymakers to promote better, responsible AI practices.
Indeed, the first Eticas was established in Europe in 2012. And since then our founder and CEO has been a recognized voice on the need to build better AI and regulate AI better. In Europe, Eticas is today an established actor sought after by all stakeholders when discussions on AI go from principles to practices.
Eticas.ai is today the only software company focused on AI auditing that treats fairness and bias not as a compliance problem but as a technical challenge, understanding that no AI will be safe to use unless impact and efficacy are built into its design specifications.
Today, we build software that captures the complexity of our societies and turns it into inputs that technical teams can use to optimize for safety, fairness, and trust. To optimize for success.
