THE STORY SO FAR

How the story unfolds.

Commercialising research with data control in view

Abu Dhabi's Advanced Technology Research Council launched AI71 in November 2023 to commercialise capabilities built around TII's Falcon models, with VentureOne taking the company to market. Its current product site centres on Ask, a workspace for assistants, agents and enterprise knowledge. On-premises and sovereign-cloud deployment options continue the launch's emphasis on organisations retaining control over their information.[2][1]
