Tempero was founded on a deep understanding of the evolving landscape of AI regulation and a commitment to addressing its gaps. Inspired by the realization that many regulatory frameworks, such as the EU AI Act, set forth ambitious requirements without providing the necessary tools for implementation, we saw an opportunity to make a difference. We embarked on a mission to develop advanced tools that ensure compliance and enhance the safety and reliability of AI technologies, particularly in AI-driven cyber-physical systems.
Innovating Beyond Regulatory Gaps
We leveraged our extensive R&D background in automated reasoning and software testing to create Tempero. Our mission is to bridge the gap between regulation and practical implementation, ensuring that AI systems remain safe and effective throughout their lifecycle.
Advanced Tools for Continuous Risk Assessment
Our advanced tools are designed to provide continuous risk assessment, ensuring that high-risk AI systems are monitored and evaluated consistently over time. This approach not only meets regulatory requirements but also sets new standards for safety and reliability in AI applications. Our risk-assessment PHYSD solution is a testament to this commitment, offering auto insurers and re-insurers the insights they need to make informed decisions.
Post-Mortem Analysis for Accountability
To address the need for accountability, we develop tools for post-mortem analysis, enabling thorough investigations of any unwanted events involving AI systems. This capability will evolve into a causal-analysis decision support solution, which aids in insurance claim processing by providing clear insights into the causes of incidents and ensuring fair and accurate assessments.
A Commitment to Societal Impact
The name “Tempero” comes from the Latin verb meaning “to temper,” “to make mild,” or “to refrain from.” This concept perfectly encapsulates our mission: to temper the risks associated with high-risk AI systems, making them safer and more reliable. Our name reflects our commitment to reducing harm and ensuring that AI technologies serve the greater good.
Tempero’s founders are driven by a strong sense of responsibility to society. We believe that AI can be a force for good, but it requires rigorous oversight and innovative solutions to mitigate risks. Our work is not just about compliance; it’s about creating a safer, more reliable future for everyone.
Our Vision
Tempero’s vision is to lead the industry in developing practical, effective tools that bridge the gap between regulatory requirements and real-world implementation. By focusing on continuous risk assessment and accountability, we aim to ensure that AI technologies are not only compliant but also beneficial to society as a whole.
Over 35 years of AI and Automated Reasoning experience, combined with an innovative mindset and a commitment to AI’s positive impact on society.
