How Quantexa Augments and Automates Decision Intelligence with AI
Quantexa CEO outlines vision for investment in support of UK Government’s plan to make UK an AI Hub, which includes:
£125M in new global investments aimed at accelerating enterprise and government agency’s ability to use trusted AI-enabled Decision Intelligence solutions
£85M in dedicated UK investment will create over 170 new jobs in London AI Innovation Centre team
Preview of Generative AI assistant shows how world-leading institutions will unlock the full potential of data to investigate risk and identify opportunity
LONDON and NEW YORK, July 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Quantexa, a global leader in Decision Intelligence (DI) solutions for the public and private sectors, announced today that it will invest an additional £125M in the global artificial intelligence (AI) industry over the next three years to help clients advance the use of AI to protect, optimise, and grow their organisations. By 2027, Quantexa’s total global investment in AI will reach more than £200M.
The investment marks Quantexa’s continued advancements in AI with the preview of its Generative AI technology, Q Assist. Quantexa also furthered its commitment to advancing the company’s existing AI Stack to enable its growing global ecosystem of clients and partners to unlock new industry-specific use cases for financial services, insurance, telecommunications, healthcare, and in the public sector. Quantexa’s Decision Intelligence platform and suite of solutions for data management, customer intelligence, KYC, risk, fraud, and financial crime have been deployed in over 70 countries.
Analysis from University of Washington suggests this investment will boost the global AI industry by £600M as the multiplier effect is realised.
Preview of Generative AI Assistant Breaks New Ground
Built on Quantexa’s Decision Intelligence Platform, the technology preview of Q Assist, a generative AI assistant, demonstrates the potential of using LLM’s to create an intuitive and conversational interface bringing new efficiencies for analysts working with data to identify risks as part of investigations. For organisations, the potential benefit is significant – as the AI assistant allows all analyst staff to become as effective as the most experienced investigators.
Q Assist is LLM agnostic and will allow clients to use their own proprietary, open source, or commercially available models including ChatGPTTM, a leading LLM from OpenAI. Quantexa’s market-leading entity resolution, graph analytics, and scoring capabilities become turbo-charged when they can be queried with natural language questions and prompts in Quantexa’s Decision Intelligence Platform.
Today, in a video showcase, Quantexa demonstrated one of what could become many potential use cases for Q Assist. The financial crime investigation scenario was chosen to show the potential in using natural language to query vast amounts of structured and unstructured data at scale, allowing even junior analysts to understand the complex data behind graph analytics and alerts. The preview also showed the ability to automate the generation of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and investigative summaries – possible in close to 100 languages – driving further efficiency in what is typically a manually intensive process and allowing more time to be redirected to strategic activities.
AI Throughout Quantexa’s Decision Intelligence Platform Delivers Business Value
Enterprises and government agencies are using Quantexa’s Decision Intelligence to become more effective and efficient at organising siloed, messy data to obtain 360-degree views of customers and suppliers to identify fraud, qualify eligibility for services, stop dangerous goods at borders, or optimise supply chains.
Quantexa is using three core principles to responsibly build out its AI Stack:
Context-Based Learning: Just as humans require full context to make informed decisions, so does AI. Without context, even the smartest machine learning or deep learning algorithms lack accuracy to be deployed reliably. For example, it’s impossible for a person or AI model to know if a single bank transaction in isolation is money laundering. Quantexa builds true context by using data to create single views of people, organisations, places, and other entities and assembles them visually to show complex interactions between entities. This context is what enables a person or AI to make an accurate decision.
Composite AI: Quantexa’s Composite AI Stack aggregates the outputs of many different techniques, including machine learning, natural language processing and deep learning. Combining these with input from subject matter experts, organisations can continually use analytics to improve decisioning to protect, optimise, and grow. Quantexa uses exclusive access to huge volumes of structured and unstructured industry data to train its AI and provides out-of-the-box open models, giving clients the ability to modify or create their own.
Explainability and Trust: In the highly regulated environments that organisations work in, it is crucial that decisions are transparent and explainable with no suggestion of bias. Quantexa’s technology and governance uses context-based techniques and composite AI to drive adoption of explainable outcomes without privacy concerns. Quantexa publicly maintains its AI ethics and safety guidelines here.
Rishi Sunak, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, said: “We want to ensure the UK remains the best place in the world to build, test, and use safe AI technology. Quantexa’s new £85M London AI Innovation Centre will help cement this reality. It will create over 170 jobs, harness the extraordinary potential of AI as we grow our economy, and lead the way on responsible AI development around the world.”
Chloe Smith, Technology Secretary, said: “The Government is serious about AI, which is why we’ve invested £2.5B in AI infrastructure and skills since 2014 and this year set out our plan for AI regulation to drive innovation and build trust. Quantexa’s investment is a huge vote of confidence in those plans and will unlock new opportunities for growth and job creation, enabling us to continue to pave the way as a global leader in the development of AI.”
Vishal Marria, CEO and Founder, Quantexa, said: “While many companies are talking about AI and machine learning, we have been investing in it since our inception. We are investing our time, money, and resources into the biggest technological breakthrough for generations as it will transform how organizations make decisions. We’re proud to invest in London-based innovation but the impact will be felt by the global economy and will start a ripple effect that will unlock decision intelligence capabilities for our clients and their respective industries.”
Dr Oren Etzioni, Professor at the University of Washington’s Computer Science and founding CEO of the Allen Institute for AI, said: “An investment of 100 AI jobs will drive economic growth not just in London but around the world. The places most likely to benefit are AI innovation hubs like New York City, Seattle, and San Francisco. Based on my research into the impact of AI on employment and economic growth, the long-term monetary benefits of this announcement will increase significantly because of the multiplier effect from job creation and innovation. An initial investment of £200M is likely to benefit the wider AI industry by £600M globally within three years.”

Mr. Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) says sanctions will be taken against individuals who interfere in association’s administration to damage the image of the football ecosystem.
He described this as a canker which the GFA was working hand in hand with other agencies to fish out perpetrators who go about spreading falsehood.
The GFA President said this whilst speaking at the 29th Ordinary Congress at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi.
‘There have been attempts by people within the football ecosystem, to always nicodemously go into the administrative part of our game, fish out documents, and push them into the public space to malign people and damage the image of our sports.’
Mr. Okraku noted that despite the agenda by some individuals to tarnish his image, there was a need to consider the consequences it would have on the country’s football brand.
‘In recent times, people have used phones to take photographs of photos within the FA and same have been reported to the security agencies and soon people will be brought to justice,’ he said.
He noted that in order to help revive the love Ghanaians have for football, there was a need to come together to make individual contributions rather than destroying its image.
The GFA President said he was keen on developing football to the highest level following the successes he has achieved over the previous years.
Mr Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has described his first tenure of office as a successful one, having been able to revive the country’s football ecosystem.
He said there had been issues hindering the development of football, highlighting the expose by renowned Investigative Journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, and the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic as major causes.
According to him, following the commitment of the GFA and other entities, football had found its feet again with the implementation of policies through the various divisions of the ecosystem.
The GFA President said there had been processes to improve coaching and refereeing, which he described as two major key areas the country was struggling with.
He further outlined some successes he had chalked since 2019, investing in infrastructure, earning broadcast rights for the Women’s Premier League, establishment of the GFA Foundation, bringing back the Black Stars to the World Cup and many others.
Other policies were the implementation of the catch them young refereeing policy to train young referees, interventions for the Regional Football Associations, securing a headline sponsor for the Women’s Premier League, Ghana Premier League, and the Division one league.
Mr. Simeon-Okraku urged Ghanaians to keep hopes alive as the GFA was still working to get Ghana’s football to the highest level.
