Elloe AI Partners with NVIDIA to Launch SAFEGPU™: A Hardware-Embedded AI Safety Standard for the Enterprise Era

April 2025 — McKinney, TX — Elloe AI, the enterprise AI safety startup recognized as the “immune system for artificial intelligence,” has announced a groundbreaking partnership with NVIDIA to launch SAFEGPU™ — a new chip-level safety standard designed to make generative AI systems secure, auditable, and compliant by default.

As AI adoption surges across healthcare, finance, defense, and autonomous systems, the risks associated with AI hallucinations, data leakage, and model abuse have grown exponentially. With SAFEGPU™, Elloe and NVIDIA aim to embed AI safety at the hardware level — eliminating blind spots before models even generate output.

“This isn’t a race for speed anymore — it’s a race for auditability,” said Owen Sakawa, CEO and founder of Elloe AI.
“By integrating our safety layer directly into NVIDIA’s architecture, we’re making sure that enterprises and regulators don’t have to guess what their AI is doing — they’ll have real-time transparency, control, and protection baked in at the silicon layer.”

About SAFEGPU™: A New Layer of Defense for Generative AI

SAFEGPU™ integrates Elloe’s core platform — including TruthChecker™, Autopsy™, and AI Governance — directly into NVIDIA hardware via secure firmware and monitoring APIs. It provides:

• Black Box Logging – Tracks every prompt, response, and action
  
• Real-Time Compliance Enforcement – Stops unsafe or discriminatory outputs mid-flight
  
• Lifecycle Auditing – Enables full traceability of how models evolve and behave
  
• Hardware-Rooted Trust – Ensures outputs are verifiably linked to a safety-compliant execution environment

Enterprises adopting SAFEGPU™ will also benefit from insurer-backed risk incentives, thanks to Elloe’s growing partnerships with global insurers who are offering premium discounts to AI-first firms that meet certified safety thresholds.

From Standards to Strategy: Shaping the Future of Responsible AI

This partnership builds on Elloe AI’s momentum as a global standard-setter in AI trust and governance. The company’s technology underpins Germany’s AI Audit Framework, and its public health pilots with Johns Hopkins have shown a 62% reduction in AI diagnostic errors.

Sakawa was recently named a Responsible AI Pioneer by the World Economic Forum at WEF Davos 2025, following his keynote to 40+ governments on AI infrastructure and regulatory readiness.

A Strategic Shift for the Industry

“SAFEGPU™ is the start of a new chapter for AI,” said Sakawa. “We’re moving from open-ended experimentation to accountable intelligence — and the only way to scale AI safely is to build it like we build cybersecurity: at the foundation.”

The SAFEGPU™ initiative is currently being piloted across major healthcare and finance partners in the EU, with global rollout expected in Q3 2025.
