About AiExponent

Our Mission

Building AI that deserves to be trusted. AiExponent exists to close the gap between AI regulation and practical developer tooling. We believe compliance should be a natural by-product of good engineering, not a bureaucratic afterthought. Our tools make it straightforward for teams to build AI systems that meet the highest standards of transparency, accuracy, and accountability.

What We Build

We maintain three flagship open source tools — spanning license compliance, Article 9 risk management, and RAG accuracy benchmarking. Each tool maps directly to a specific EU AI Act obligation and produces a concrete, audit-ready artefact you can hand to legal: a signed SBOM, a Risk Management File, or a benchmark report.

On the commercial side, Sigil — our runtime governance platform for AI agents — is in active development. It will deliver real-time policy enforcement, tamper-evident audit logging, and EU AI Act Articles 14 & 17 compliance reporting for organisations that need governance at runtime, not just at review time. Early access is open.

Our tools produce documentary evidence for compliance workflows. They do not constitute legal advice and do not substitute for review by qualified counsel or a notified body. See Legal Notices.

Company

Two-Entity Model

The founder operates two legally distinct practices with complementary but firewalled roles:

The two entities are kept legally separate by design. Engagement with AskAjay creates no obligation on AI Exponent LLC; use of AI Exponent LLC tools creates no advisory relationship with AskAjay. This separation is deliberate legal architecture — not branding.

Regulatory Context

The EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) is the biggest regulatory forcing function for responsible AI, and the one our tools are designed around first. Enforcement is already underway: prohibited AI practices under Article 5 applied from February 2025; AI literacy (Article 4) and GPAI model transparency (Article 53) applied from August 2025; high-risk system obligations (Articles 9–15) follow in August 2026.

But the EU AI Act is not the whole picture. Our tools also cross-map to the NIST AI RMF (mandatory for US federal contractors), ISO/IEC 42001:2023 (the international AI Management System standard), Colorado AI Act SB 24-205, UK AI Principles, and Texas HB 1709. The design principle is simple: one evidence workflow, multiple compliance outputs. Our tools exist because the gap between what these laws require and what engineering teams can practically implement today is still too wide.
