A deep-tech company that is commercializing Active Inference, a proprietary framework for AI. Stanhope AI is developing a new generation of AI systems that can think, adapt, and decide like humans, enabling machines to make decisions in the real world, particularly in situations for which they have not been trained.
The company's Free Energy Minimizing (FEM) world model has been implemented in drones to demonstrate the emergent autonomy of this novel AI architecture. The model controls the drone's behaviors and allows it to adapt to new situations. Stanhope AI's mission is to bridge the gap between neuroscience and artificial intelligence, creating a new generation of AI systems that can think, adapt, and decide like humans.
The company was founded by experts in AI and has raised £2.3 million in seed funding. Stanhope AI is based in London and has a strong background in neuroscience, robotics, and fintech.
