George Lubaretsi is the founder of Fakta AI, a Tbilisi-based company that helps businesses understand why AI assistants get facts about them wrong, tracing inaccuracies to their sources and identifying what needs to change.

He also created FOI Security, an open-source digital security guide that grew out of workshops he launched in 2024, amid growing demand for digital security in Georgia. Since then, he has trained dozens of civil society organisations, and the project won the DemTech Hackathon at DataFest Tbilisi.

George has been developing software since 2012. His experience ranges from building open-data tools at Transparency International Georgia and creating the country’s first machine-readable election datasets to leading engineering teams for German and US companies.

He also writes and speaks about AI, surveillance, and digital rights.
