I'm leading Tikos along with Dr. Don Liyanage PhD, an expert in AI reasoning and explainability.We've both witnessed the fallout in enterprise AI development - more than 80% of projects fail due to loss of user trust and compliance roadblocks. That's where Tikos steps in.Tikos provides tools that help developers build AI systems that are safe, smart and compliant.
