ABOUT AIUC

AIUC builds standards and insurance for frontier AI. Our mission is to Underwrite superintelligence https://underwriting-superintelligence.com/. We exist because risk, not capability, is becoming the binding constraint on AI being useful. History offers lessons for how to build confidence in new technology; electricity burned down houses until insurers funded Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to certify products against their standards. Today, the UL mark is a trustmark on every light bulb in America. We’re building that for AI.

AIUC-1, our standard for agent security, serves frontier builders like Cursor, Lovable, ElevenLabs, and Harvey. We've raised $55m from Ribbit, First Harmonic and Nat Friedman to audit frontier AI. Our team comes from METR, Anthropic, McKinsey, and OpenAI. Come join us.

Come work directly with Rune https://www.linkedin.com/in/runekvist/ & Rajiv https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajiv-dattani/ to solve a meaty problem that gives you sweaty palms. Founder-types are the binding constraint. We like people who talk fast, break walls, sweat details, say the scary thing, keep promises and have we-can-do-anything attitude. Text us.

OUR VALUES

We are in the business of building trust. We take our values seriously and treat them as commitments to each other, held to the same bar as the ones we make to customers.

  • Strong back: high standards, keep our promises, work hard.
  • Fast feet: experiment, cut scope, take delight in pace.
  • Eyes up: wrestle with the mission, and let where AI is heading shape our strategy, our teams and our day-to-day work.
  • Open heart: say the scary thing, create connection, make room for emotions.

Underwriting superintelligence is our life's work. If you want it to be yours, apply now.
