RevAIsor SENTINEL solves this by integrating a neural &#8220;System 1&#8221; for intuitive perception with a symbolic &#8220;System 2&#8221; for deliberative, logical reasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The UK\u2019s sovereignty in AI depends on our ability to build systems that aren&#8217;t just powerful, but provably trustworthy,&#8221; said <strong>Dr. Edgar Lopez-Rojas<\/strong>, Founder and Technical Lead at RevAIsor. &#8220;With the support of Innovate UK, we are building a &#8216;Symbolic Safety Shield&#8217; that acts as a deterministic guardrail, ensuring autonomous agents always operate within human-defined ethical and security boundaries.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project brings together a multidisciplinary team of experts dedicated to redefining AI assurance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/edgar-lopez-rojas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>Dr.<\/strong> <strong>Edgar Lopez-Rojas<\/strong><\/a> leads the technical vision, bridging the gap between complex neural systems and formal verification.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/matthew-decal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>Matt<\/strong> <strong>Decal <\/strong><\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/karol-see\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>Karol<\/strong> <strong>See <\/strong><\/a>drive the responsible AI engineering efforts, developing the &#8220;Neural Core&#8221; and the seamless integration interfaces required for high-performance agentic behavior.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ismaeelali11\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>Ismaeel<\/strong> <strong>Ali <\/strong><\/a>leads the security engineering, focusing on the integrity of the symbolic shield to ensure it provides a robust defense against adversarial attacks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The 3-month Proof of Concept will demonstrate the SENTINEL architecture in a simulated multi-agent logistics environment.
