The people behind DDS

Deduce Data Solutions’ applied AI science team is a multidisciplinary team united by one shared purpose: turning artificial intelligence into measurable results for industry and energy. Six years in, headquartered at the Cantabria Science and Technology Park, with over 60,000 combined scientific citations behind it.

Manifesto

Three principles, one way of working.

Three principles guide every project we take on. They aren’t technologies — they’re how we apply them.

✦

Creativity

We look for unique solutions you won’t find in a manual. Every client is a different challenge, and AI is only useful if it adapts to the real industrial context.

◯

Simplicity

Technology adapts to the client, not the other way round. Powerful models behind the scenes, a simple interface and experience up front. If it isn’t understood, it isn’t useful.

?

Curiosity

We research before we promise. We publish what we learn and come back to the table with better questions. Curiosity is what brought us into being in 2020.
