David Sully, CEO, co-founded Advai four years to solve AI adoption challenges. This leveraged his 10 years of experience as a diplomat dealing with technology challenges, international negotiations and cross-government projects.

David’s diplomatic career gave him a deep understanding of the complex regulatory and operational contexts of technology adoption. He had noticed a lack of AI assurance mechanisms.

Under his leadership, Advai has become a UK leader in AI Safety by pioneering evaluation and monitoring solutions for AI robustness, security, and fairness. His vision for Advai is to enable safe and secure AI adoption, empowering organisations to harness AI's full potential responsibly.
