We build AI that can explain itself.
Qriton is a European deep-tech company building Critical AI for infrastructure, industry, public institutions and regulated work, where a wrong, unexplained or leaked answer is not an option.
To explain important machine decisions the way a human would.
Born where every finding had to be defensible.
Qriton started in 2024, during Romania’s elections, building systems to detect coordinated influence: work where every conclusion had to stand up in front of analysts, editors and institutions.
That discipline became our product principle: a decision is only useful if you can show how it was reached. We chose energy-based (Hopfield) models because they let the explanation come from the computation itself.
Today we work with EU clients and consortium partners on critical-system resilience, and we are expanding into enterprise and industry.
