Following Nomen’s collaboration with Intesa Sanpaolo and a group of researchers and scientist investors, Centai Institute, a new company in the AI industry, was born. The idea was to create a high-tech research institute that works alongside the international scientific community.
The name and the acronym (Centre for Artificial Intelligence) was created to evoke the institute’s activity and their niche: a multi-disciplinary approach, a “lab that knows no boundaries”, which combines artificial with human intelligence in a new way using one unique and distinctive word.
Centai is a unique bisyllabic name with a dynamic sound, without exact linguistic connotations, combining western and eastern sounds which opens the institute up to the whole world. When pronounced in English, the first syllable sounds like scientific, thus referencing the centre’s activity.
