Our mission
Deliver safe AI to automate consequential decisions
We know that despite all the enthusiasm for and investment in AI, the current state of the art is simply not fit-for-purpose for use in high-consequence environments. We want the world to have the tools to deploy advanced intelligence safely, responsibly and with full control.
Our story
In 2018, after years of research and deliberate contrarian thinking, Dr Angelo Dalli completed a foundational theoretical framework for scalable neuro-symbolic AI, underpinning more than 20 published novel inventions. Following early validation in 2019, he and Ken Cassar founded UMNAI to turn this architecture into a new AI paradigm.
Backed by visionary early investors and a focused, high-calibre team, we have since built the world’s first end-to-end neuro-symbolic AI platform. Hybrid Intelligence is redefining how AI is conceived, designed, built, and governed, enabling trustworthy, explainable, and goal-driven systems across financial services, healthcare, justice, education, and beyond.
Our vision
Our vision is to raise the world’s expectations of intelligence, demanding transparency, accountability, and control. We believe the future of AI lies in causal, grounded reasoning: intelligence that understands why things happen, not just what correlates.
Reasoning quality, plausibility, and causal coherence - encoded in explainable systems, explicit world models, and hypergraph-based knowledge structures - will surpass scale, data, and compute as the true measure of useful intelligence.
The goal is not to replace human intelligence, but to learn from it and amplify it.
