Multiverse Computing Ethics Committee
Multiverse Computing aims to set the standard for ethical quantum and AI innovation.
The convergence of quantum and AI technologies demands clear standards for how intelligence is developed, applied, and governed. Multiverse is leading that shift through deep research, strong collaboration, and transparent model design. Our Ethics Committee defines how those technologies interact with society, policy, and the environment, turning principles into practice as the AI industry advances.

The committee defines our vision and culture, fostering an environment built on diversity, inclusion, well-being, and sustainability.
Multiverse Computing delivers powerful, domain-aware AI with the speed, security, and scalability defense operations require. Whether optimizing logistics on the ground or simulating future conflicts in the cloud, our CompactifAI and Singularity platforms offer unmatched performance, explainability, and adaptability.
What we do
The Ethics Committee determines how our principles become practice across research, technology, and governance.
Reviews research methodology and deployment practices.
Ensures alignment with international standards such as the OECD AI Principles and the EU AI Act
Promotes continuous awareness through internal reviews and cross-departmental collaboration.
Advises leadership on policy, governance, and social impact.
Our work extends across the entire Multiverse ecosystem
The committee influences not just what we build, but who we build it with.
Academia
Government
Customers
Partners
Society
Investors
Leading with values
Our ethics framework is grounded in six principles that dictate how we develop, deploy, and collaborate.
Purpose
