RagaAI Secures $4.7 million for the Development of an AI Testing and Debugging Tool
RagaAI, a startup founded by experienced technology specialist and former Nvidia director, Gaurav Agarwala, has raised $4.7 million in seed funding to develop a tool that automatically diagnoses and eliminates flaws in artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the startup announced the official launch of their groundbreaking model called RagaAI DNA, specifically designed for testing AI. RagaAI DNA offers over 300 tests for automated problem detection, diagnosis, and immediate resolution, making it the most comprehensive AI testing platform in the market.
The funds will be used for research and hiring additional staff, according to Bloomberg.
Agarwala began his career at Texas Instruments and later worked at Nvidia, a leading computer technology company, as well as a mobility startup called Ola. In January 2022, he founded RagaAI with the aim of bridging the gap between technological advancements and commercial outcomes through AI testing.
RagaAI utilizes underlying models to identify and fix issues such as hallucinations, which can occur in AI systems with significant consequences in applications like autonomous vehicles and healthcare. The startup aims to play a crucial role in addressing these concerns.
Another aspect that RagaAI aims to tackle is the lack of real-time information processing by AI systems, as highlighted in the report. The company plans to diagnose and resolve this flaw to enhance the responsiveness and accuracy of AI systems.
Agarwala emphasized the consequences of AI failures due to insufficient testing, a problem he observed during his time at Ola and Nvidia. RagaAI actively examines and addresses this issue for large Fortune 500 companies.
“Our vision is to liberate AI from the limitations imposed by humans and enable continuous development,” stated Agarwala. He added that the startup is committed to pushing the boundaries of AI problem detection, automated analysis of their causes, and resolution, as well as leading innovative methodologies.
RagaAI’s focus on automated testing and debugging of AI systems aligns with the increasing demand for safer and more reliable artificial intelligence.
In the previous month, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the US Department of Commerce took initial steps towards establishing standards for secure AI deployment, including testing and securing even the latest systems.
