Lab Structure and Roadmap
Structure
Our lab is organized to foster collaboration, innovation, and rapid prototyping. We partner with organizations that seek to adopt AI to achieve outcomes benefiting the communities they serve. As a team of engineers and technology experts, we help transform these ambitions into real-world solutions.
We collaborate with socially impactful organizations, research centers, hospitals, financial and commercial enterprises, and other partners. Our focus is on private, non-governmental initiatives that recognize their profit-oriented activities can also generate positive social effects—both in Colombia and across Latin America, wherever we operate.
Projects Roadmap: Responsible AI Lifecycle
We follow responsible, iterative AI project lifecycles that embed governance, ethical oversight, and impact assessment at every stage.
