Putting AI to work for the world
AI WITH A HUMAN HISTORY
We set Faculty up in 2014 because we thought that AI would be the most important technology of our time.
Our sole purpose is to make it useful to the world. We do that by helping our clients access the most cutting edge AI, and use it to improve the performance of their business.
That’s all we’ve ever done. No chasing hype cycles. Just AI. We take it very seriously.
We've done a lot of it over the years. We've worked with hundreds of organisations, from right across the economy and right across the globe.
We’re very proud of this track record. We feel very privileged to have supported some of the most important organisations in the world, to grapple with the big challenges of our age.
We care deeply about the impact of our work. That’s what motivates us above all.
