In today’s world, artificial intelligence is used to make some big decisions. Colleges rely on it to admit students. Parole boards use it to approve or deny inmate releases.
One startup in North Carolina's Research Triangle is striving to make AI systems more ethical, and the company has secured significant funding to do so. On Monday, Diveplane announced it had raised $25 million in Series A funding, major money for early-round investing. The Raleigh company prides itself on creating ethical artificial intelligence, the responsible use of machines through identifying and correcting for unintended bias.
Diveplane was co-founded in 2018 by Michael Capps, former president of the Cary, North Carolina-based Epic Games. In the past four years, Diveplane has attracted a number of notable clients and investors, including several American soccer stars.
