MARREDDesigned to stand
with humanity.
A calm presence, shaped around people. Familiar in proportion. Distinctly Max.
Humanity.First.
Meet Max. A humanoid robot with one ambition:
to help protect humanity from misaligned AI.
Max by Marred AIConcept render. In development.
A human future.
Worth defending.
AI should expand what humanity can do.
And humanity should remain in control.
Marred AI is building an AI defence system against misaligned AI. Max is our vision for giving that mission a physical presence: a humanoid robot designed around people, accountability and human authority.
Designed to stand
Protection is
the purpose.
Max embodies Marred AI’s mission: to defend humanity against misaligned AI.
Human control.
Always.
Our vision keeps authority with people—including the ability to stop, correct and replace an AI system.
Concept design. These principles guide development; they are not a claim of verified robot performance.
Intelligence needs
independent boundaries.
Our software work begins with a simple principle: intelligence can propose an action. It cannot grant itself permission.
Permission.
Before action.
We’re developing controls that check a proposed action against explicit authority, independently of the AI making the proposal.
Evidence.
Beyond promises.
Proposals, approvals and observed outcomes should remain distinct, so people can see what was authorised and what actually happened.
Your control.
By design.
Our mission includes effective human control: the ability to pause, revoke, correct and replace an AI system.
These are engineering principles guiding Marred’s control software and Max’s development. They are not a claim of proven robot capabilities or universal protection.
An ambitious vision.
An honest beginning.
We’re building the foundations of Marred AI now. The first software prototype tests bounded actions, exact approvals and human stop controls in a synthetic environment.
Max is the next physical expression of that ambition. The renders show our design direction. Hardware and capabilities remain in development. Estimated delivery is 2030–2032; this is a target, not a guaranteed date.
