The AI Startup Aims to Deliver Safety and Security for AI Large Language Models
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — HydroX AI, an artificial intelligence (AI) startup with the industry’s first comprehensive all-in-one large language model (LLM) safety and security platform, today announced closing a $4 million angel round from Vitalbridge Capital, Atom Capital and noted AI expert, Qi Lu, EVP of Microsoft, former COO of Baidu.
The funding will provide the means for HydroX AI to continue LLM safety innovation, validate the market need, and further the platform’s market entry goals.
The investment comes to a fast-growing segment of the exploding LLM AI market. Global LLM revenue is projected to grow to 260 billion by 2030. With that growth comes increasing safety and security risk. HydroX AI has found that a typical LLM is vulnerable to attack and compromise in as little as three months from release, meaning constant security measure updates are a must. As a result, HydroX AI sees great need and potential in the AI Trust, Risk, and Security Management (AI TRiSM) sector.
“The blending of artificial intelligence with society is just starting. It raises issues beyond privacy and security, including ethics, learning, and mental effects. Looking ahead, security will be key, not just for protection but as a foundation for AI’s growth,” said Ben, partner at Vitalbridge Capital.
HydroX AI was created to directly address these LLM risks by providing a comprehensive platform for the evaluation, mitigation, protection, and monitoring of Large Language Model (LLM) safety and security in the four trust domains: safety, privacy, integrity and security.
