Safran.AI, formerly Preligens, is an artificial intelligence company that forms part of the French aerospace and defence group Safran. It develops software that automatically detects and identifies objects of military interest in commercial and government satellite imagery, and serves defence and intelligence customers. Preligens was founded in 2016; after Safran acquired it in 2024, the company was renamed Safran.AI.
Safran.AI is headquartered in Paris, at the address Safran publishes for its artificial intelligence activities, and sits within Safran Electronics and Defense. Its owner is the French group Safran, so the ownership chain is French. The public website gives little detail on hosting or data residency, so this should be confirmed directly with the supplier. For a European organisation, the main points are less the foreign jurisdiction than the sensitivity of the data and the export and security rules that apply to the analysis of defence imagery.
