This market is much earlier than AI security or testing. Much of the work still happens inside the major AI labs. If AI manipulates people AI manipulation can be subtle: misleading users, flattering them, or steering them toward certain decisions. While a much thinner category, here are two startups addressing different parts of that problem: - Alice (https://research.cbinsights.com/e3t/Ctc/T5+113/c4SYk04/VWTr9683gh4qW7g0Kby3Q8k5VW5q0Twr5VDkfSN8JCsFF3prCCW95jsWP6lZ3nvN8rCJNTsTxHQW1YmXXD6v444NW4PH2mX3gy8CwW7S95Bn1kz1ZpN5FV5s-dq9Q_W7cGT0t6F5FD4N7br-7rjb-NtW2XKF733rCBCyW7738kW6ZtKfMW89fX-r8L_G5XW1Mz8dk5hqL7-V5MD7t3qJ2bLW5NT0bk2fsn0nW9kCMyp6xzXCmN2X62Py36qlNW6L7tPd35P512W3SpJLF4hb33ZW2fcX5Y13L4chV7Qtmz2RC7l-W7xHtK76JHBYTW4nfFSp4klRkJN6gVkLPS6JHCW494b3S9hMv0WW74j1R-94DVq4W83DNpj8yMlRqF7wj9LrJXVRN8r70RSb81hKW6ywJQJ6644c7W2nSyNx7Jw1vbVbRkCQ7qVSbBf7Mh8nC04 ) : tests whether models deceive the people overseeing them, appearing to follow instructions while secretly pursuing another goal. - Apollo Research (https://research.cbinsights.com/e3t/Ctc/T5+113/c4SYk04/VWTr9683gh4qW7g0Kby3Q8k5VW5q0Twr5VDkfSN8JCsFF3prCCW95jsWP6lZ3n9W4Fw7RP2sT_NFW1MtWbb7XyHy3W2D562F4v67NtW3W-kVx1vgztvW34HgCq6xGbMCW6_2y953LFl0-W5yMF206mK_tZW4xKbm05hMLtYVj32G44vbJpLN93B8bNQzqV0W7YpkYF2YNb2HW2fzfPW3HBCJ_N2gnXVpGf4vHW6291hl7QHYDYN5X2Vy38ZRLSW181yDm6kBH2NW8QD-2r4kgMykW5NTfJX5FRjWGVLYr5872SXpQW5lF6dl95dxz1W7bczCQ31WxBqW4fJmg41gG2WTW7mkN316-m5rxW7dlQf045R5MkW1KW2qt3_1rd3W1jmxkz57N0s0W3h9T3F2skkH1W3WYk8h1TL_zBW3g2jjL2Q3yNhW2VxsPD7K4r-Bf1BRf2j04 ) : evaluates frontier models for strategic deception and oversight evasion. Its tools cover broader safety risks, rather than manipulation alone. That said, much of the independent work here happens inside labs or at nonprofits, like Common Sense Media's (https://research.cbinsights.com/e3t/Ctc/T5+113/c4SYk04/VWTr9683gh4qW7g0Kby3Q8k5VW5q0Twr5VDkfSN8JCsFF3prCCW95jsWP6lZ3p_W2PR5hy6lVJTJN5PtYQLJ6cw2VQj6jR636N_SW3KgXJj5jFxSnW6vBWdz73XB5LW1Tdz-h219HX8Vk49SX37gxH4W94jyRM8XBdLRW96Zrh38JVQSdW2-_XrJ43JKxqVL-k3B60tWV4N8SpX8TSkvN1W3Rf43L34plSrVVYjq84hsVH8W2t5JQq6ndk69W8CvNNT71lbJkVQLgHJ74WNVNW4gfM-z6fSytPW5lkJNp7TJTq8W1w0G7c932b-mW7tS5MY7BFBJwW4ZPcC_8d0PkyW4Q4H7M3ZZBMKW41vXR29jDy9PW3W5_207YTy91W9cX1Pb84P_N0W72BDTj8sx6MDW8Kk2xG11ZdF0W8f76q57fXldYN6g2t1RQ1XQ8f2c2kHH04 ) youth AI safety testing and the Independent AI Evaluation Foundation, which launched last week. So, where should you build? Agent security and testing are the safest bets, as one already has buyers and M&A, while the other is becoming a market. Interpretability is sparser because labs are already offering this work for free. Manipulation is the outlier: we found fewer startups tackling it, which could mean an opening or simply that nobody wants the product yet. A grim customer survey should tell us which. Then there’s what happens when prevention fails. Anthropic flags liability as a risk if AI goes wrong, and Armilla AI (https://research.cbinsights.com/e3t/Ctc/T5+113/c4SYk04/VWTr9683gh4qW7g0Kby3Q8k5VW5q0Twr5VDkfSN8JCsFF3prCCW95jsWP6lZ3l_W7YcpYH493gBlW5FNcKm1kw1FZW3T5gZR6KJ6P3Vmdnyq1ppvypW7MSLR01FdRWQW5jnpQ11tJr7-W5Cqn-c8B3mWkN54-tzlJTn1CW4N7dBn8jmrJBW88LZvT6xnDPBW5WP0sf47Fry-W3x-6dD3SRhn4W7Y2mJk3_nszzW1mX-RF49ljs_W82H44G4qcMGBN7R-0_BFXdMVW93FtvM3CXRdqW3khMPJ4ZRhyxW56xVNr69MR6vW3xmTS25BgSWBW5x6SV115fPyFW4hvdw87wLNqhW9cTw9r268bDLW94jxvz4rbKfjW8cJpW22wp183W8_-dLJ2QRLHcW7qD3kQ3dStzfW3rGPDf13zTcyW4D3Crf3cKVrqN5hFpNkHgCclf2gCr1T04 ) , a 2026 CB Insights Insurtech 50 winner (https://research.cbinsights.com/e3t/Ctc/T5+113/c4SYk04/VWTr9683gh4qW7g0Kby3Q8k5VW5q0Twr5VDkfSN8JCsCz5m_5PW50kH_H6lZ3psW3Gc1p_7mSMBGW2Hvt7n3tLy68W5Pg7m99lxxZQW4kBd2g86Jg5dW9lV-8x6RC5X_W1LrqSh1CvmKdW1t1Yqq3WsCHzW6CZv7r2jbKWMW8K4M3w1jw7f7W2jzlxl2xv97hW350BTv3Mjv3DW3Y1jnk493gzPW2L60Lm8bXQ3PW2lyNmT6mxg3wW6nW8Wn19X7ydW42DxhZ37T0zxN4ydzTGt89SKW6N59ZT8hMxd9W5WkXy85fsD7kW6pr1KF5YjztMW359Mcd3P2PJBW6DDksw14Pwz_N7qyclw6n7vcW4Krgy339kyDBN5GFP72YmshmW5ML-GZ1fXKP7W2Z-pxb8qmj0FW2HWzK931s5C3W6kM7Zj82wvb8W6-dk7V4Yyx-lW7c-tWl84R3t_W3czFPm5GJXPkf4H5j7g04 ) , already sells AI liability insurance.
