OUR PURPOSE
Pioneering and pivoting the future of AI for the profound benefit of everything and everyone on the planet.
STORY OF MACSO
Driven by my passion for creating a fair world and a legacy that lasts beyond my lifetime and intrigued by the potential of artificial intelligence, I have spent more than half of my professional life researching and understanding AI from both an ethical and a technical perspective.
Inspired by my research findings, I decided to found MACSO. A company that is set to develop the building blocks of ethical and accessible AI while solving problems for our customers.
When someone looks up MACSO a hundred years from now, I want them to ask what the world would have been like without it
