The Artificial Business:
Sovereign European Enterprise AI

68% of employees are already using AI Assistants without their employer's knowledge or approval, creating massive risks: sensitive data leaks, privacy violations, and loss of intellectual property.

The Artificial Business was founded to give enterprises and governments a better way: complete end-to-end control over data and systems, with all the productivity benefits of AI: 40% better outcomes and 25% faster execution.

Our story

Our story began in Silicon Valley, where our co-founder Leo Benkel led AI integration for major tech companies, while witnessing firsthand how privacy and security too often became afterthoughts in the race for innovation.

Back in Europe, with the rising adoption of Large Language Models hosted in the US and China, Leo realised the needed for a different approach to AI adoption - one that combined Silicon Valley's technical innovation with European values and compliance standards. The Artificial Business was born from this vision.
