About us

Our story

Xaiva’s journey is rooted in six years of academic research, to find new ways of explaining AI decision-making by visualizing machine learning model behavior. Much of the foundational work underlying our platform has been published in peer-reviewed papers. This foundation, as well as a partnership with one of the largest Dutch insurers, has enabled us to develop an innovative solution that addresses the critical need for human oversight of AI. Our mission is to enable every organization to use AI responsibly.

Our commitment

We aspire to embed responsible AI practices seamlessly into every organization's machine learning operations. We are committed to helping make every AI-based decision accessible, understandable, and explainable to any stakeholder. By providing human oversight of model decision-making, following principles such as those stated in the EU AI Act, we strive for ethical use of AI across sectors and setting new standards for how AI should operate in service to humanity.
