MY WORD #VISION “I chose the word "vision" because if the vision is big enough it creates such passion and enthusiasm in the team working to realise the vision — nothing can stand in its way. I love being part of a team filled with the energy that comes from being part of something bigger than ourselves.

At Arria, our vision is to ensure, through our natural language generation technologies, that humanity remains at the heart of artificial intelligence. Empowering people to know more, be more.

That is a very big vision.

In fact, it's so big you could ask; “Are we having the vision, or is the vision having us?" I think it is the latter.

—Sharon Daniels

ORIGINS The University of Aberdeen has been dedicated to the evolution of language since its founding in 1495.

From this ancient school of learning rose natural language generation, one of the most advanced technologies ever developed.

The emergence of the revolutionary Natural Language Generation (NLG) technology from the computer science labs at the University was not a random event but rather was the logical next chapter in the story of the evolution of language observed, recorded and celebrated by the University —since 1495.
