About SASKI Institute

Accountability belongs
in the architecture.

We help organizations de-risk AI with independent rulebook governance and verifiable attestation.

Our purpose

Make consequential AI decisions governable and inspectable.

SASKI Institute is a public benefit corporation focused on more accountable AI.

We believe the ability to generate an answer should be separated from the authority to take an action. Explicit rulebooks, independent enforcement, and verifiable attestation are the foundations of that approach.

SASKI Agentic governs actions, SASKI SDK governs human-facing interactions, SASKI Replay evaluates historical activity, and SASKI Estate applies the same architecture to the connected home.
