Reliable AI in the News: Universitas and Digital Norway

We're proud and humbled to have been featured in two prominent Norwegian publications recently, shining a light on Reliable AI's journey from a research project to an award-winning startup.

Universitas: "Created an award-winning AI tool alongside their studies"

Norway's largest student newspaper, Universitas, published a feature article about how three UiO master's students — Halvor, Jonas, and Markus — built DANTE and founded Reliable AI while still completing their degrees. The article covers our origins as a summer project at the Center for Computing in Science Education (CCSE), our award at ECAI 2025, and our approach to non-generative AI.

"Our master's studies have become a hobby. The work with Reliable AI takes most of our time."

The piece also touches on the broader challenges facing Norwegian startups — from limited venture capital compared to our Nordic neighbors, to cuts in Innovasjon Norge's startup funding. Despite these headwinds, we're committed to building competitive Norwegian AI technology.

Digital Norway: "They got AI to stop lying"

Digital Norway published an in-depth feature about our core technical innovation — how we eliminate AI hallucinations by removing the generative layer of language models and working directly with mathematical representations of text. The result is deterministic, repeatable, and source-verifiable search.

"With our model you get the same answer every time. It can't hallucinate, because it doesn't generate anything."

The article highlights our partnership with law firm Haavind to develop KOFA Search, and how our semantic search technology saves legal professionals significant research time. It also frames an important question we often return to: the question shouldn't be whether AI is "perfect," but whether it improves workflows compared to current practices.

What this means for us

Being featured in these publications is a milestone for Reliable AI. It validates that research-based, non-generative AI is gaining recognition — not just in academic circles, but in the broader Norwegian tech and media landscape. We're grateful for the coverage and motivated to keep building reliable, trustworthy AI solutions.
