About AIUC
AIUC is a frontier AI standards and insurance company based in San Francisco. It builds confidence infrastructure for AI systems through certification, auditing and insurance for AI agents. Its main offering is AIUC-1, a security, safety and reliability standard for agents, developed with more than 250 security and risk leaders and frontier AI builders. The standard is grounded in technical testing and is updated every quarter. AIUC sells to enterprises deploying AI agents, including Fortune 500 security leaders and AI platform providers. Certification involves large numbers of technical evaluations across risk categories such as secrets leakage, prompt injection and insecure code defaults, alongside review of governance and security controls. The company argues that standards, audits and insurance together create incentives that build trust in new technology, comparing this to the role Underwriters Laboratories played for electricity. It has raised $55M and also works on a frontier AI mutual insurer.
