AutoAlign spins off from Armilla AI, launches
the first-ever Sidecar LLM firewall solution, and signs cooperation
agreement with KPMG in Canada to reinforce their AI-model risk
frameworks
AutoAlign, an AI safety company that provides robust generative
AI security, today announced the company’s spin off from Armilla
AI, launching the first dynamic LLM security firewall solution —
Sidecar — and cooperation agreement with professional services firm
KPMG in Canada. The company’s new foundational Sidecar technology
runs alongside LLMs — providing consistent security by dynamically
interacting with, while continually evolving alongside, rapidly
growing LLMs. In addition, KPMG will include AutoAlign as an option
to its compliance layer for its Trusted AI framework. Now, any
business using automation — including financial services — can tune
Sidecar for their business compliance and security needs to deploy
powerful, trustworthy generative AI.
“By the time companies build AI with the proper security
guardrails, they’re immediately obsolete. That’s why we built our
sophisticated AI firewall solution — Sidecar — so enterprises have
LLM security that is comprehensive, nimble, and always evolving,”
said AutoAlign interim CEO and co-founder Dan Adamson, whose two
decades building AI solutions yielded products that are deployed at
hundreds of enterprises today. “When generative AI exploded, it
became clear that Armilla’s two business anchors — model security
and AI insurance — required their own companies to provide services
that customers deserved,” said Adamson, who will continue to stay
involved with Armilla.
Faulty AI that hallucinates and allows jailbreaks, biased
outcomes, and more is a byproduct of generative AI’s explosive
growth as well as increased model complexities. That’s why
AutoAlign created the first firewall security, Sidecar, that
protects against these major shortcomings by interacting directly
with LLMs. Sidecar’s adjacent rail structure with highly contextual
Alignment Controls runs parallel to models, seamlessly moving from
model to model and/or across use cases. By directly interfacing
with LLMs, if Sidecar rejects a response, it will inform the model
to make corrections. This cycle raises model fidelity by learning
in real-time, and outcomes are meticulously honed on specific
business use cases. Now, instead of fine-tuning a model to the
point that it affects performance — or over-tuning its power away —
enterprises can instead focus resources on increasing model
performance.
“Working with KPMG exemplifies two enterprises committed to AI’s
powerful and safe future,” said AutoAlign CTO and co-founder, Rahm
Hafiz. “Providing customers with AI security solutions that they
deserve is paramount at AutoAlign, no matter if AI is making
internal decisions or used in customer-facing chatbots.”
“KPMG’s Global Trusted AI framework and approach to designing,
deploying, as well as managing AI models and tools allow us to
deliver powerful, trustworthy solutions to clients. AutoAlign
shares our goal of integrating generative AI into businesses in a
responsible manner without compromising the effectiveness of this
transformative technology,” said Ven Adamov, Partner, National
Leader of KPMG in Canada’s Risk Analytics practice and Trusted AI
co-leader.
