🖐🏼 Guardrails

AI adoption is growing globally. But one thing we all have to watch out for? Bad AI performance. 

  • Hallucinating chatbots, biased algorithms, and other bad AI outputs can mean trouble for companies who have to comply with AI regulations. 
  • It’s not just that. AI mistakes can also cost firms legal penalties, data breaches, and public trust. 

🛡️ The ABCs of Obiguard

Obiguard wants to help companies stay ahead of compliance mandates and build trustworthy and reliable AI systems.

  • Their tool is designed to integrate with any AI model or platform—so onboarding and collaboration is easy.
  • With live dashboards, adaptive compliance mapping, and scenario-based risk analysis, it enables C-suites and compliance teams to easily see how their AI is performing.

Money matters. Obiguard has a free plan for individual developers but their entry-level plan for businesses starts at $99 per month. 

What’s next?

They’ll enhance the platform’s capabilities and expand their reach in sectors like fintech, healthcare, telecom, and government.
