Principled Intelligence is an AI Governance platform designed to help enterprises use artificial intelligence in a safe, compliant, and values-aligned way. The company was founded to address one of the biggest challenges in AI adoption: the lack of structured tools to assess, control, and monitor the impact of AI models within business processes.
The platform combines a proprietary framework of corporate principles, risk controls, and automated compliance, enabling organizations to adopt AI with full transparency and end-to-end governance.
Principled Intelligence supports teams in defining policies, evaluating models, managing audits, ensuring compliance with emerging regulations, and monitoring the evolution of systems over time.
The company serves enterprise clients that require high standards of security, reliability, and accountability in their use of artificial intelligence, including large corporations in finance, insurance, retail, energy, and public sector.
With an approach that integrates technology, methodology, and ethical principles, Principled Intelligence enables responsible AI adoption and reduces risks related to bias, security, privacy, and operational costs.
The company’s mission is to transform AI into a fully controllable, compliant, and strategically aligned asset, ensuring long-term trust and sustainability for organizations.
Principled Intelligence has recently closed its seed round, supported by BlackSheep, CDP Venture Capital in partnership with Scientifica Venture Capital, with the participation of Eden Ventures. The new capital will accelerate product development and strengthen the company’s go-to-market strategy in the rapidly expanding AI governance market.
