WE ARE SILO.AI
The story of Silo.AI began during the global financial crisis in 2009. Peter Sarlin and his research group built an AI solution to identify bank distress that outperformed all existing systems, and was onboarded by central banks and regulators globally.
In 2017, Tero Ojanperä, Ville Hulkko, Kaj-Mikael Björk, Juha Hulkko and Johan Kronberg united with Peter Sarlin under the flag of Silo.AI to bring cutting edge AI talent to organisations around the world.
