Important results from the project
The project has contributed to the creation of the world´s first error-proof prediction system based on graph technology. The technology we developed enables different industries to “tune” the level of AI-generated content to their specific needs. The technology thus creates new opportunities for reliable AI solutions in critical application areas where safety and precision are crucial.
Expected long term effects
The project is expected to democratize the use of AI in all industries in the long term, regardless of their demands for precision or tolerance for “hallucinations.” The technology allows for the margin of error to be adjusted as needed. For example, medical researchers can use generative AI to predict the effects of new drugs with a low margin of error, while creative and commercial industries, such as marketing or design, can accept higher errors to generate new ideas more quickly.
Approach and implementation
The project followed the planned structure, but the development went faster than expected and reached the TRL4 level. Even before the end of the project, we had companies that showed interest in testing the technology. This allowed us to use the project time to adapt Orb to their needs. An unexpected insight was that many companies lack experience in creating and managing graph data. This led us to expand our strategy to also include data management and integration.
