About Us

Gray Swan is the safety and security provider for the AI era. We understand the unique threats faced by AI deployments in settings where well-resourced attackers, external tool use, retrieval, and misuse—intentional or otherwise—could bring everything to a halt. We're dedicated to helping enterprise organizations, frontier model developers, startups, and anyone else who needs to deploy AI with confidence by providing tools that assess the risks of a deployment, as well as secure models that provide best-in-class security and safety.

Gray Swan AI was founded by world leading experts in the AI safety and security space. Our founders include faculty and researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, where we pioneered efforts to identify vulnerabilities in large language models, which has been a driving force behind efforts to understand how to build safe AI systems. Our research has been covered by the New York Times,The Washington Post,TIME,CNN and many others. We have published papers (including several which have won paper awards) at the top machine learning and AI conferences.
