Transparency and rationale—every step of the way.
Lemay.ai is a specialized consultancy that provides artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning solutions to SMBs and enterprises in a commercial context. The corporation was founded by Mathieu Lemay and Daniel Shapiro, PhD in 2016 with their own funds, building on past work experience in consulting. They built up a research and development team and multiple revenue streams, following an agency model for delivering consulting services.
Over the course of the last two years, we have refined our AI Consulting Framework, which allowed us to successfully deploy multiple projects. This rapid deployment framework allows for flexible, iterative, and continuous deployment of project prototypes and solutions, while ensuring production-ready quality upon integration and hand-off with the client’s team.
We focus on human augmentation, not replacement
We understand the concerns surrounding the replacement of humans with machine-learning systems. We also understand that artificial intelligence systems, at present, are restricted to mimicking existing behaviours, and even then imperfectly. Therefore, we maintain a strict focus on augmentation of human workers to allow them to perform more tasks, and take care to identify areas and points where humans should be kept in-the-loop to monitor the process.
We implement defensive design with safety first
Our team’s diverse experiences in cybersecurity, medical devices and defense solutions inspires us to continuously evaluate risk at all levels of development and integration. This vigilance is displayed in the following activities:
As active members of the AI community, we continuously share knowledge and participate in various events.
