Co-founders Alex Alben and Patrick Ip met at UCLA Law School, where they co-published a paper on AI and its implications for American Law and co-founded the AI Forum, a 501c3, founded to promote thoughtful discussion of legal and societal challenges by inviting experts in law and technology to share their insights.
Through those initiatives, Alex and Patrick realized there was a gap in using AI and machine learning to give lawyers, clients, and arbitrators insights into the possible outcomes of their cases.
They started Theo Ai to use predictive analytics to fill this knowledge gap, and to help the legal community make more informed decisions with better data.
