Archetypal AI

Dr. Benjamin Harvey works at the intersection of artificial intelligence, national security, and enterprise technology. He founded Archetypal to connect advanced AI capabilities with the authority, governance, and evidence required for consequential use.

His experience includes data science leadership at the National Security Agency, work at Databricks, and founding AI Squared. His research and academic work spans trustworthy AI, systems engineering, and the application of emerging technology to institutional problems.

At Archetypal, his focus is the authority layer behind AI: benchmarking what a system knows, governing how policy applies, and preserving the lineage of consequential decisions.
