Immanence

What Immanence does

Immanence S.r.l. Società Benefit is an Italian AI governance and ethics consultancy headquartered in Torino, founded in 2023 by Luna Bianchi and Diletta Huyskes. The firm delivers consulting, education, and tooling for responsible AI strategy, governance, assessment, and risk management, serving visionary enterprises in banking, public administration, fintech, and technology across Italy and the wider European market. Named engagements include dataset evaluation for Translated's LLM training, governance framework design for an unnamed major Italian bank, AI ethics training for a major Italian Ministry, and AI strategy co-design for a fintech sector leader.

The company's core technology is the ARIA platform, a SaaS workspace for AI governance that provides semi-automated ethical impact assessments, policy management, and continuous monitoring of AI systems. The offering is layered with a three-tier education stack (AI Pills microlearning, Training & Workshop sessions, and the role-based AI Academy), a structured assessment methodology covering social impact, sustainability, ethical risk, readiness, and compliance, and supporting tools such as the Ethics Deck (a five-card facilitation kit) and the forthcoming SRO(A)I social-impact metric. Underlying technical capabilities include quantitative AI ethical testing against consistency, correctness, fairness, competence, manipulation, and reliability parameters, dataset evaluation for LLM training, and NLP-based analysis of chatbot behavior.

Immanence generates revenue primarily through custom-priced professional-services engagements under multi-year contracts, paired with an emerging subscription/ARR line via the ARIA platform. Go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales, with inquiries routed through a structured contact form to specialized Services and ARIA Demo teams. The firm's positioning emphasizes early alignment with the EU AI Act (Article 4 AI literacy, fundamental rights impact assessments), a human-centered philosophy rooted in the concept of immanence, and proprietary methodology for translating abstract ethics into operational governance documentation.
