In this episode of the SecurityANGLE, host Shelly Kramer, managing director and principal analyst at theCUBE Research is joined by Manoj Saxena, founder and chairman of Trustwise, for a conversation about AI and the role technology can play in AI application performance, risk management, and corporate sustainability initiatives.
Trustwise is officially launching this week with $4 million in seed funding. Its flagship product is Optimize.ai, an API-based Gen AI performance and risk management solution that enterprise developers can use to lower the cost and increase the safety of, as well as the “green-factor” of the AI models they’re building and using.

He also is the holder of 34 software patents in AI and Web Services.
