Resect AI has emerged from stealth with $25 million in funding from private equity investors to develop technology that detects AI hallucinations and modifies model behavior. The financing will support research and development, go-to-market initiatives and hiring across the greater Seattle and Portland markets.
Resect is building what it describes as an accountability layer for artificial intelligence, focused on improving the factual accuracy and transparency of large language models.
Its forthcoming open-source technology and enterprise product suite are designed to allow users to observe, detect, interpret, audit and modify model behavior.
The company is targeting industries where factual accuracy and AI governance are particularly important, including publishing, finance, healthcare, research and education.
Resect is also opening an office in the Pacific Northwest and hiring engineering and research professionals in the Seattle and Portland markets.
KEY QUOTES:
“AI has prematurely been put in a position of trust. Adding labels such as ‘use at your own risk’ flies in the face of proper governance or compliance. AI must be anchored in truth to be widely adopted across the enterprise. We are building the next large enterprise AI company to bring transparency and accountability to AI for industries such as publishing, finance, healthcare, research, and education where factual accuracy is absolutely critical.”
Kevin Owens, CEO of Resect AI
“Many argue that understanding the black box internals of LLMs is out of reach, but we fundamentally disagree. We’ve spent an extensive amount of time and resources researching how models think, and what causes them to choose the answers that they do. Through this process, we’ve developed technology that observes exactly when and how models fail, and surgically fixes them.”
Tim Walton, Chief AI Officer at Resect AI
