Policy makers and other stakeholders around the global are focused on the need to make AI “trustworthy”.
“Trustworthy” generally means that the AI is secure, reliable, explainable, fair, and that there is appropriate accountability and privacy.
We are working with a wide range of clients to establish legal frameworks for operationalizing their trustworthy AI principles, and we calibrate our work based on a variety of factors including the nature of the client’s business and the impact of the AI at issue.
We draw upon a variety of sources to provide this advice, including our AI policy and regulatory teams, our deep industry knowledge that enables us to benchmark, and our work in related areas such as privacy and compliance.
