Circuit Breaker Labs builds an AI agent safety testing platform
What happened
Circuit Breaker Labs is building an AI safety testing platform, reported on October 3. It fields a team of AI agents that act like crash-test dummies, simulating users of different ages, backgrounds, languages and cultures to red-team models and check whether they catch dangerous or psychologically harmful interactions. The platform runs tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of simulated conversations a day and uses a proprietary scoring method to produce auditable, explainable scores. It targets high-risk uses such as AI coaching, journaling and mental health support. The company has just 5 employees.
