Hirundo AI Ltd., a startup specializing in "machine unlearning," has successfully raised $8 million in seed funding. This round was led by Maverick Ventures Israel, with participation from SuperSeed, Alpha Intelligence Capital, Tachles VC, AI.FUND, and Plug and Play Tech Center. The funding will be instrumental in furthering Hirundo's mission to eliminate the "hallucinations" – inaccurate or biased outputs – plaguing AI models.
Hirundo's innovative technology allows AI models to "forget" problematic data, addressing a critical issue limiting broader AI adoption. Current methods like fine-tuning often only mask the problem, while Hirundo's approach directly targets and removes the root cause of inaccuracies, significantly improving model reliability and accuracy without the need for costly and time-consuming retraining.
The company's solution is already being piloted in various sectors, including finance, healthcare, and defense, demonstrating its potential to enhance the trustworthiness and efficiency of AI across diverse applications. This seed funding will enable Hirundo to expand its reach and further develop its groundbreaking machine unlearning technology.
