AIUC, short for Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company, describes itself as a frontier AI standards and insurance company based in San Francisco.[1],[2] AIUC has built a third-party audit and certification layer for AI agents, reported by TechCrunch in September 2026.[1] Its AIUC-1 standard tests how agents hold up against jailbreaks, hallucinations and data leaks using 5,000 risk-and-attack combinations, according to the company.[3] TechCrunch reported that AIUC assembled a consortium of about 250 security and risk leaders to build the standard, and that each audit produces a roughly 100-page report.[1] AI agents run the tests, while humans verify the final audit, according to TechCrunch.[1]
AIUC said in September 2026 that Cursor, ElevenLabs, Harvey, KPMG, Lovable, UiPath and Fin certify their agents against AIUC-1.[3] TechCrunch reported in September 2026 that AIUC names Cursor, Lovable, Harvey and ElevenLabs as customers.[1] AIUC says KPMG became the first Big Four firm to achieve AIUC-1 certification, for its aIQ Capture platform.[2]
