February 12, 2025 – Cortical.io has joined AIM Global, the Global Alliance on Artificial Intelligence for Industry and Manufacturing. With this strategic collaboration, the Austrian AI-pioneer reinforces its commitment to advancing safe, sustainable, and inclusive use of AI in industry and manufacturing.
Guided by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), AIM Global promotes the responsible development and deployment of AI and frontier technologies. Aligned with the UN Secretary-General’s Our Common Agenda, AIM Global shapes a digital future that is open, secure, and beneficial to all.
AI technologies are transforming industry and manufacturing, offering unprecedented opportunities for increased efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. However, the adoption of these technologies also brings ethical considerations, privacy concerns, and the imperative for inclusivity. As a new member, Cortical.io is excited to contribute to AIM Global’s mission of unlocking the full potential of AI for industry.
Since its founding in 2011, Cortical.io has focused its activities on high-efficiency AI as an alternative to energy-intensive approaches like deep learning and, more recently, large language models. With its intelligent document processing solution, SemanticPro, organizations can search, extract and classify large volumes of documents with a unique combination of speed an accuracy. More recently, Cortical.io has extended its proprietary Semantic Folding approach to the analysis of sensor data, opening new horizons for the real-time processing of multiple, disparate sensor inputs while using orders of magnitude fewer computing resources.
“It is high time to recognize that humanity will only benefit from AI if it is responsible – ensuring sustainability, transparency, ethics, and security. This is why initiatives like AIM Global must be supported,” said Rainer Kegel, CEO of Cortical.io. “We are very excited to collaborate with forward-thinking partners from around the globe on responsible AI initiatives.”
