Lakera AI AG, a Swiss generative AI threat detection startup, has raised $20 million in Series A funding led by Atomico, bringing its total funding to $30 million. The company offers Lakera Guard, a cloud-based service detecting malicious prompts in large language models, and MLTest for testing computer vision models. Lakera anticipates growing demand, citing Gartner's prediction that 80% of enterprises will use generative AI by 2026. The startup emphasizes the need for AI-specific security tools, as traditional measures are inadequate. Lakera's solutions are powered by a vast repository of AI attack data, partly sourced from their online game Gandalf, which acts as a large-scale "red-team." The company's tools are designed for easy deployment. With over 35% of Fortune 100 companies showing interest, Lakera plans to use the funding to expand in the U.S. and accelerate product development. https://siliconangle.com/2024/07/24/lakera-ai-raises-20m-ward-off-malicious-prompts-generative-ai-models/
