An independent, innovative Responsible AI brand
Based out of the most innovative science and AI hub in the UK, Sci-Tech Daresbury, Anekanta® Consulting and Anekanta® AI’s hybrid teams work with international stakeholders across sectors and domains including defence, security and video surveillance, critical infrastructure and smart cities.
The vision for Anekanta® was created by security industry video and analytics technology leader Pauline Norstrom, in March 2016; at the time she felt that the AI market was too immature. She instead took up a request from a colleague to set up an international technology group which was transitioning through a pheonix style re-structure. After generating over £15 million of revenues for the group in less than 3 years, towards the end of 2019, Anekanta® started to come to life, with the proposition being defined during 2020, the first year of the pandemic. Despite the challenges, Anekanta® responded and evolved with the market and now operates internationally offering specialised research, advice and development to its global client base.
In 2022, Anekanta® AI came to life which is focused purely on AI impact, risk, governance and compliance, Anekanta® Consulting and Anekanta® AI interoperate seamlessly with the primary business functions contained within Anekanta® Consulting.
Anekanta®, through its leader also influences the shape of the market on a voluntary basis. A champion of the ethical and legal use of controversial AI (biometrics) technologies such as facial recognition software, she also works with international standards bodies and specialised organisations around the globe. Her mission is to take forward the most ethical and legal practice possible for the application of high-risk AI and sensor technologies and enhance the safety of people, responsibly.
