AlgoViva is a governance, assurance, and digital rights company shaping a future where technology serves people, organisations, and the planet. 


We help organisations harness AI to achieve their goals responsibly, ethically, and with lasting impact. We do this by partnering with organisations to design, govern, and deploy AI responsibly while meeting organisational needs. 


Born from both personal experience and philosophical inquiry, AlgoViva was founded on a simple conviction: technology must not leave people behind.


Our co-founder’s early experience,  witnessing a family business displaced by unconsidered technological change, led him to pursue a PhD in the ethics of AI, and now a mission to ensure that AI and Emerging Technologies serve human flourishing rather than erode it.


The name AlgoViva is a declaration.


We believe technology must be alive to the world, responsive to human needs, sensitive to context, and grounded in enduring values that balances ethics with organisational imperatives. Through a systemic and collaborative approach, we centre technical rigour to advance responsible innovation as a shared, evolving journey rather than a fixed destination.
