What it claims
London-based AI Score raised $5.4 million in seed funding led by Fuel Ventures with participation from founding investor GALLOS Technologies, following a $1M pre-seed in November 2025. The platform is described as managing “the use of generative and agentic AI across organisations”. For agentic AI specifically, the article states the platform “oversees agents as they are introduced across an organisation, providing guidance, guardrails and safety controls while giving management and boards visibility into their activities”.
