The line between human creativity and artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly blurred. Aporia, derived from the word meaning philosophical puzzlement, is now a leading figure in AI safety and reliability.
The potential of AI is undeniable, yet it comes with its risks. Aporia's founders, Liran Hason and Alon Gubkin, have developed a platform that ensures AI aligns with human values and business goals, proving how one company can singlehandedly bring the control necessary to navigate the AI revolution.
Filling a Market Gap Across Industries
Hason and Gubkin recognized a critical gap in the AI market: the lack of mechanisms to control and secure AI applications. With their vision, they assembled a team of AI researchers, security experts, and compliance attorneys, forming the backbone of Aporia. "We wanted to create a platform that protected AI applications from risks and aligned them with our clients' ethical standards," shares Hason.
Aporia's Guardrails, the foundation of its platform, is engineered to combat, mitigate, and prevent risks to generative AI applications in real-time. These risks include hallucinations, prompt injections, jailbreaks, data leakage, and others.
Aporia ensures safe and responsible AI interactions by layering these Guardrails between the large language models or LLMs and the user interface. "We're building a culture of responsible AI that resonates across industries," Hason reflects. Aporia is trusted by giants in industries such as food and beverage, manufacturing, healthcare, and education, among others.
The Quest to Achieve AI Safety
Aporia is not just providing a service; it is shaping the future of AI deployment. With real-time and leakage-prevention features, Aporia's Guardrails has become the gold standard for AI security. The platform's black box approach, operating at the prompt and response level without needing access to model internals, has made it a versatile and indispensable tool for any AI application.
Beyond its platform, the company offers an enterprise-wide solution, tackling the inefficiencies of addressing AI risks individually across different teams. Aporia Guardrails also includes specialized support for specific use cases, addressing each client's distinctive challenges.
The company's mission is deeply rooted in advocating for AI ethics. Its AI Act compliance resources, including training materials and automated compliance checks, promote transparency and accountability in AI use. "We believe that the true potential of AI can only be realized when it's aligned with the greater good," says Gubkin.
Ensuring Safety in an AI-Reliant Future
By advocating responsible AI deployment, Aporia has established itself as a much-needed partner in the AI landscape. "We are setting new standards for how AI should be developed and deployed," Gubkin notes.
Despite being relatively new, AI is undeniably a necessity for specific industries. With its pioneering platform, Aporia is edging its competitors by setting the standard for responsible AI deployment in the 21st century.
