About
Unlikely AI is a London-based technology company pioneering a new approach to artificial intelligence—delivering the full potential of modern AI while ensuring reliability, accuracy, and transparency. The company is developing products that achieve tasks previously considered impossible for computers, with a strong focus on trustworthiness and real-world usability.
Founded by William Tunstall-Pedoe, Unlikely AI builds on his earlier success with Evi Technologies (formerly True Knowledge), a natural language understanding start-up acquired by Amazon in 2013. The technology became a core part of what is now Amazon Alexa.

At the heart of Unlikely AI’s innovation is UL (Universal Language), a highly expressive machine language that bridges the gap between probabilistic machine learning and deterministic symbolic systems. This neurosymbolic approach eliminates common AI pitfalls such as hallucinations, bias, and black-box decision-making—enabling completely reliable computing. Unlikely AI is a pioneer in applying this method to large language models (LLMs) and generative AI.
The company partners with enterprises in highly regulated industries where trust and explainability are critical. Its team combines deep technical expertise with a commitment to responsible AI development—pushing the boundaries of what AI can do while ensuring confidence in every output.
