AI safety that software can’t switch off.
A hard-wired gate sits between an AI system and the outside world. When a safety condition is violated, the output path is cut at the electrical level — verified on hardware, and recorded so anyone can check it.
OWN STANDARD is a deep-tech company building AI safety that is enforced in hardware and verifiable independently. Rather than relying on software guardrails, we cut unsafe AI output with a deterministic hardware interlock — and seal the results so anyone can re-derive them. Our goal is to make AI safety independently checkable.
Measured on hardware, and sealed.
We report what we observed on hardware — not what we assume. Scope and limits are stated plainly, and each result is fixed to a cryptographic fingerprint and an independent timestamp.
FPGA-stage validation — observed, not proven. Silicon physical-layer behavior is out of current scope.
Core values
Trust and transparency
Verifiable by anyone
Enforced in hardware
Trust and transparency — every experiment is pre-registered, sealed, and then run, with results recorded so they can be independently re-derived. That discipline is what lets our partners rely on AI with confidence.
Deterministic cutoff — unsafe output is stopped physically at a hardware gate outside the model path. It is designed to be vendor-neutral and to align with emerging hardware-oversight requirements, including EU AI Act Article 14, and with the NIST, ISO, and FIPS families.
