Formal Verification Becomes an AI Compliance Layer in Regulated Industries

Pramaana Labs closed a $27 million seed round from Khosla Ventures to build formal verification tools for AI in healthcare and legal settings. The technique, adapted from hardware engineering, mathematically guarantees safe AI behavior across all possible inputs—addressing regulator pressure in the EU, UK, and US to treat high-stakes AI outputs as a compliance requirement. In practice, this means wrapping inference with constraint-checking layers and verified runtime monitors.
