ONCE UPON A TIME
The history of Silo.AI began in the afterglow of the global financial crisis in 2008. After the crisis, Peter Sarlin and his research group began working on machine learning to detect and describe systemic risk and macro-financial instability. They created Netrics, a risk quant for interconnected financial systems. Netrics outperformed all existing systems, and has since been onboarded by a large number of central banks and regulators around the world.
In early 2017, Tero Ojanperä, Ville Hulkko, Kaj-Mikael Björk, Johan Kronberg and Juha Hulkko united with Peter Sarlin under the flag of Silo.AI to bring cutting edge AI talent to the use of private, public and non-profit organisations around the world.
Silo.AI was born.
Silo.AI Today
At Silo.AI, we believe that in order to become the best, you need to work with and be challenged by the best. We take pride in creating an equal work place for all nationalities, genders, orientations and backgrounds. We look for warm, open-minded people who consider themselves to be an expert in their field, be it science, business or engineering.
