Elloe AI wants to be the ‘immune system’ for AI — check it out at Disrupt 2025

Owen Sakawa, the founding father of Elloe AI, desires his platform to be the “immune system for AI” and the “antivirus for any AI agent.”  

The concept, Sakawa stated in an interview days earlier than the Trendster Disrupt convention, the place Elloe AI is a High 20 finalist within the Startup Battlefield competitors, is so as to add a layer to firms’ LLMs that checks for bias, hallucinations, errors, compliance points, misinformation, and unsafe outputs.  

“AI is evolving at a really quick tempo, and it’s transferring this quick with out guard rails, with out security nets, with out mechanism to forestall it from ever going off the rails,” Sakawa (pictured above) stated. 

Elloe AI is an API or an SDK, a module that sits on high of an AI mannequin’s output layer, an “infrastructure on high of your LLM pipeline,” as Sakawa defined. “And it sits there principally fact-checking each single response.” 

The startup’s system has its personal layers, or “anchors,” as Sakawa put it.  

The primary anchor fact-checks the LLMs response towards verifiable sources. Then, the second anchor checks if the output violates any laws, such because the U.S. well being privateness regulation HIPAA, the European far-reaching knowledge safety and privateness regulation GDPR, or if it exposes some Private Personal Info (PII). The final anchor is an audit path that exhibits how all of the earlier selections had been made and permits regulators or anybody auditing the system “to research the practice of thought for that mannequin from the place it made the choice the supply of that call, the arrogance rating of all these selections,” in line with Sakawa.  

To be clear, Sakawa stated Elloe AI shouldn’t be constructed on an LLM, as a result of in his opinion, having LLMs checking different LLMs is simply placing a “Band-Support into one other wound.” Elloe AI’s system does use AI strategies, although, equivalent to machine studying. And there are people within the loop: Elloe AI’s workers, who sustain with new laws on knowledge safety and person safety, Sakawa stated.
