Enabling 21st Century scientific innovation BenevolentAI is the world leader in the development and application of artificial intelligence for scientific innovation. We are the largest private AI company in Europe and one of the top five private AI companies in the world.
Changing the way discovery happens Despite the explosive growth of data, scientific discovery has not changed for 50 years. It is impossible for humans alone to process all the world’s available scientific data and literature. Consequently, only a tiny fraction of scientific knowledge is accessible, decipherable and usable at any one point in time to a given scientist.
Augmenting human intelligence BenevolentAI uses proprietary AI and machine learning technology, together with its own unique team of pioneering scientists, to look deeply into vast scientific research data sets - rapidly forming and qualifying hypotheses, generating new insights and enabling hitherto impossible scientific intuition and innovation at previously unimaginable scale.
Discovering new medicines We began with a focus on bioscience – increasing the understanding of human biology by ingesting the entire compendium of information on human health and biological systems. We are applying this knowledge to pharmaceutical development to bring better medicines to patients faster.
