What are AI risks?

AI-powered interfaces such as chatbots emerge and pose new AI risks:

  • Prompt Injection Attacks: Attackers try to manipulate language models to execute unauthorized actions or access sensitive data. These attacks exploit the way AI interprets inputs as natural language text. Prompt injection attacks create a risk that spans from data exfiltration to influencing decision-making processes.
  • PII Data Leakage: Customers may include sensitive data in requests that are then sent to LLM providers. Companies must ensure that sensitive data is detected and redacted from requests.
  • Hallucinations: Chatbots in RAG applications use context retrieved from document stores, posing the risk of hallucinated, inaccurate, off-topic, or made-up information to users. IvyCheck evaluates whether chatbot answers are faithful to the provided context.

How does IvyCheck help?

IvyCheck provides a library of checks for managing AI risks in your application. IvyCheck is:

  • Flexible: You can add checks to your LLM app with just 2 lines of code and protect your users and your data from prompt injection attacks, PII data leakage, and hallucinations. Works regardless of which LLM provider you use in your app.
  • Secure: We use customized, fine-tuned models for the checks. We self-host all our models and your data is not sent to third-party model providers.
  • Fast: Since the models are small and specialized, you can expect a latency under 100-200 ms. If you require even faster endpoints, please get in touch!

The founding team

We’re Tammo (left) and Dustin (right). We met at Amazon, where we were part of the Core Machine Learning team in Berlin. We worked on systems for large-scale data quality checks, missing value imputation, and search filter optimization. We’re both obsessed with delighting our customers and solving their toughest challenges! Let’s create a safer world with AI.
