We are the eXpandable AI Network
Innovators & Game changers
At XAIN, we build solutions that bring enterprises to the forefront of AI utilization. We tackle the dilemma of unlocking the full power of AI without compromising data privacy. XAIN’s origin was a joint research project by CEO Leif-Nissen Lundbaek and Imperial College London Professor as well as CTO at XAIN Michael Huth.
Research is in our DNA and today serves as our driving force for further innovation. XAIN aims to solve some of the biggest challenges in the research field of privacy-preserving AI, particularly focusing on Federated Machine Learning.
Our team
Born around the globe. At home in Berlin.
Originated in academic research, we believe that the technological advancements of AI will bring tremendous value to humanity. Our drive lives by the principles that our AI work should be humancentric, deliver the highest quality at precision and be completely trustworthy and transparent. In order to achieve this, we are proud to have a diverse team with various backgrounds. While XAINies come from all over the world, our home is at the heart of Europe: Berlin. Our values are European, our benchmark is excellence and our spirit is team work with fun.
Blood, Sweat and Tears
Roughly 656 matches of Mario Kart have been fought so far. But who's counting, as long as it's fun.
Happiness management
To wind down, we like to walk our office doggo Lou through the Tiergarten and play some nice fetch.
Grab a cold one
Radler is our favorite office drink. Which is why we make sure we always have enough of it stocked in the fridge.
