Vision, History & Values

We are AI practitioners: Data Scientists, ML Engineers & AI Ethicists. We created Giskard in 2021 because we were frustrated at how difficult it is to ensure AI models' performance, fairness & reliability. We combine 20 years of experience developing business-critical AI systems, particularly at Dataiku, Thales & CERN.

We are driven by quality standards from mature engineering practices: manufacturing and software. Partners of AFNOR, CEN-CENELEC and ISO, we want to help bring AI into the age of Quality.

In 2022, we raised our first round of 1.5M€, led by Elaia, with participation from Bessemer and notable angel investors. To read more about this fundraising, you can read our announcement.

In 2023, we received a strategic investment of 3M€ from the European Commission to build a SaaS platform to automate compliance with the upcoming EU AI regulation. You can read more here.

Giskard defends the vision of a Responsible AI that serves the business performance of companies & respects the rights of citizens. To embody this mission, Giskard provides AI professionals with a collaborative & open-source Quality Assurance platform to evaluate & test the quality of all AI models.

We believe in good engineering, collaboration & responsible innovation. We are:
  • Passionate about building robust solutions to real-life problems
  • Driven by customer needs and outstanding user experiences
  • Hungry to learn and improve every day
  • Conscious about technology's role in our society
  • Empathetic team players
