About Us
“We might even invent laws for series or formulæ in an arbitrary manner, and set the engine to work upon them, and thus deduce numerical results which we might not otherwise have thought of obtaining. ”
“A computer would deserve to be called intelligent if it could deceive a human into believing that it was human.”
“Are there imaginable digital computers which would do well in the imitation game?”
Historical Legacy
Our company name, The Imitation Group, honors Turing's legacy and is named after Alan Turing’s “Imitation Game.”
In 1950, Turing imagined machines capable of advancing beyond their original programming.
We embrace his vision that computers should work for humanity—seeing AI as augmentation, not replacement..
In tribute to the visionaries who laid the foundation for computational thinking:
From Babbage's Analytical Engine, to Ada Lovelace’s invention of programming to Turing's theoretical machines, these pioneers envisioned a world where machines could process information with precision, logic, and purpose—the very principles that guide our work today.
About Us
The Imitation Group exists at the intersection of technology and the humanities.
We believe that technological problems are fundamentally human problems—and technological solutions must also be human solutions.
Our Story
Our founder worked in Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Large Language Models, Neural Networks, forecasting and data mining in the early and mid-2000s, when these processes weren't even considered part of AI. As AI shifted from rote, rule-based systems to learning-based approaches, what had been a backwater—even a 'niche application'—suddenly found itself at the forefront of AI development.
This unique vantage point gives us a deep understanding of both the technical evolution and the human implications of AI technologies as they've matured into the powerful tools available today.
Our Team
Our diverse team brings together backgrounds from computer science, economics, machine learning, and public policy, alongside perspectives from yoga and meditation, outdoor leadership, and classical rhetoric. This intentional diversity reflects our belief that AI implementation requires not just technical expertise, but wisdom drawn from multiple disciplines and ways of understanding the world.
Who We Serve
The Imitation Group was founded to meet the needs of individuals, companies, organizations, and governments that want to implement AI technologies, but have legitimate concerns about privacy, ethics, bias, and process.
Our clients know they need to adapt to the AI revolution, but don't know where to start.
Our Approach
We understand that successful AI adoption isn't just about installing new software or following best practices—it's about thoughtfully integrating powerful technologies into human systems in ways that respect both innovation and values. We help organizations navigate this complex landscape with:
Strategic guidance rooted in both technical depth and human wisdom
Ethical frameworks that address privacy, bias, and responsible use
Implementation processes designed around your people and culture
Ongoing support as your AI capabilities evolve
Our Mission
Empowering responsible AI adoption through human-centered implementation that honors both technological possibility and human values.
We believe the future belongs to organizations that can harness AI's power while preserving what makes them fundamentally human.
