Hello and welcome to the TrustyAI blog! We’re excited to launch it and share our journey toward creating trustworthy artificial intelligence.

Why Are We Here?

In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, AI is becoming an integral part of our lives, powering everything from daily apps to complex systems in healthcare, finance, and beyond. While this is exciting, the focus on “what AI can do” has overshadowed “how it can do it safely,” creating a gap that researchers call an “alignment tax” - the extra cost to ensure AI systems behave as intended. Without proper tools and frameworks, the alignment tax compounds over time, placing an increasing burden on developers and organizations.

The opportunity lies in transforming AI safety from an expensive afterthought into an integrated practice that enables – rather than hinders – innovation. That’s where TrustyAI comes in:

We aim to make AI safety both practical and accessible. Practical in the sense that you can implement it today, reducing complexity to facilitate adoption by developers and organizations in real-world environments, and Accessible in the sense that our tools are open source and free from vendor lock-in.

More specifically, we aim to make AI trustworthy - a term we choose deliberately because “AI safety” means different things to different stakeholders. Trustworthy AI provides a unified framework that transforms how the industry approaches AI development:

• AI Security becomes seamlessly integrated, protecting systems from external threats, preventing adversarial attacks and data breaches, and ensuring integrity and confidentiality through robust defense mechanisms that don’t slow innovation.
• Responsible AI shifts from compliance checkbox to a competitive advantage, enabling ethical development and deployment by addressing bias, ensuring fairness, and promoting transparency and accountability in how AI systems make decisions - creating products users actually trust.
• AI Safety evolves from theoretical concern to practical reality, preventing unintended harmful consequences by ensuring AI systems behave predictably and align with human values, even as they become more capable.

The Hats That We Wear

The TrustyAI team wears two hats: engineering and community. With our engineering hat on, we build tools for

• Explainability to help practitioners understand individual predictions and overall model behavior;
• Evaluation to be the central hub for AI evaluation, offering a unified API to access popular benchmarking, red-teaming frameworks for LLMs and agentic systems;
• Guardrails to implement protection against different attacks and also uphold an organization’s standards, policies, and values; and
• Agentic Trustworthiness to establish thought leadership through dedicated research and development.

Crucially, we bring a holistic view of how these tools work together, and provide consistent APIs across diverse targets and platforms. This way, you might evaluate your model for specific risks, then implement protective measures such as content filtering based on the results, and finally confirm effectiveness through another round of evaluation. Or, use observability traces as inputs to explainability tools to understand not just what your model decided, but why.

With our community hat on, we are committed to developing open source tools that enable trustworthy AI without vendor lock-in, sharing knowledge through research findings and educational content, and participating in communities of researchers, developers, policymakers, and users.

Our Goals and Vision

Our goal is to provide practitioners with production-ready trustworthy AI components that work seamlessly together, eliminating the need to cobble together disparate tools or build everything from scratch.

We envision a future in which trustworthy AI development becomes inherently collaborative and accessible. Rather than each organization solving AI safety in isolation, we create shared infrastructure and knowledge that elevates the entire ecosystem, making safe AI deployment the default rather than the exception.
