Vision
Robust Intelligence's mission is to eliminate AI Risk. As we transition into a world that is adopting AI into automated decision processes, we inherit a great deal of risk. Data drift, misclassified data, prediction biases and adversarial input easily distort AI outputs and can have detrimental effects. In addition, with viral adoption of new Generative AI based APIs, new risk vectors like prompt injection, prompt extraction, PII exfiltration, factual inconsistency and hallucinations pose significant threat to organizations.  Our flagship products are built to be integrated with existing AI systems and protect against real-time API based 3rd-party AI access to eliminate these risks.

Robust Intelligence is a leading provider of end-to-end AI security solutions for enterprises. Our cutting-edge technology automates the testing and validation of AI models, safeguarding organizations from security, ethical, and operational risks. Backed by prominent investors including Sequoia Capital and Tiger Global, we are proud to work with an expanding list of customers, including JPMorgan Chase, Expedia, ADP, IBM, Deloitte, and key players in the public sector such as the U.S. Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense.

Advancing the state of AI is a collaborative process that requires unusually varied skills and perspectives. To that end, we have built a multidisciplinary team with increasingly diverse backgrounds. Together, we're building the future of secure, trustworthy AI.
