Our take
UnlikelyAI is startup setting out to use Artificial Intelligence to solve challenges previously considered impossible for computers, in order to advance the state-of-the-art technology further.
It is an early-stage company that's built a unique form of AI model named neuro-symbolic AI, incorporating neural network approaches best known from the likes of OpenAI but integrating this with Symbolic AI architecture. The latter can address the weaknesses of LLMs (mainly its "hallucinations) as it "mimics" human reasoning. Unlikely's first product was Crossword Genius - an app that uses AI and machine vision to solve cryptic crosswords.
The company has raised a large sum of money, most recently in an oversubscribed 2022 seed round, and is backed by an experienced founder- William Tunstall-Pedoe- who was heavily involved with the development and release of Amazon Alexa. UnlikelyAI believes that AI has the potential to shape the modern world, thus, the company aims to find bigger applications of AI in different contexts in the future. 2024 leadership hires will revitalise the company's strategy and growth as it develops new products.
