Resect AI Closes AI Accountability Gap to Accelerate Enterprise Adoption
Technology Detects Hallucinations and Modifies AI Model Behavior
Company Opens Office in the Pacific Northwest
SEATTLE, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Resect Artificial Intelligence (Resect™ AI), the company building the accountability layer for AI, today launched out of stealth with $25 million in funding from private equity investors. The funding will fuel research and development, go-to-market initiatives, and local talent acquisition in the greater Seattle and Portland markets.
The AI Trust and Compliance Problem
The rapid adoption and evolution of AI is creating excessive enterprise risk and unprecedented problems in governance and compliance. Specifically, AI hallucinations cost businesses tens of billions of dollars globally, with that figure continuing to grow as adoption accelerates. While experimentation is booming, enterprises do not trust taking AI into production and customer-facing environments. This trust gap threatens everything from fast-food chains to aerospace giants, risking massive economic loss, compromised brand reputations, and wasted capital across the global economy. With regulations continuing to evolve at lightning speed, enterprises are under pressure to meet uncompromising compliance standards or face massive financial risk.
“AI has prematurely been put in a position of trust. Adding labels such as ‘use at your own risk’ flies in the face of proper governance or compliance,” said Kevin Owens, CEO of Resect AI. “AI must be anchored in truth to be widely adopted across the enterprise. We are building the next large enterprise AI company to bring transparency and accountability to AI for industries such as publishing, finance, healthcare, research, and education where factual accuracy is absolutely critical.”
Bringing Accountability to AI
Until now, AI has been a black box that offers no clear picture of how it creates answers, or why it is so confident providing wrong answers. Resect AI’s forthcoming open source offering and enterprise product suite provide the ability to look deep inside LLMs and observe, detect, interpret, audit, and modify the behaviors of AI models to bring an accountability layer to AI.
“Many argue that understanding the black box internals of LLMs is out of reach, but we fundamentally disagree,” said Tim Walton, Chief AI Officer at Resect AI. “We’ve spent an extensive amount of time and resources researching how models think, and what causes them to choose the answers that they do. Through this process, we’ve developed technology that observes exactly when and how models fail, and surgically fixes them.”
