Trusted AI GAP Analysis

Trustworthy AI as a Foundation for Compliance and Market Success

Organisations are increasingly using AI systems for business-critical decisions and automated processes. At the same time, requirements for transparency, traceability, governance and regulatory compliance are increasing.

Particularly in the context of the EU AI Act, many organisations face the question of whether their existing AI solutions meet current requirements and how potential weaknesses can be identified. A lack of transparency, insufficient documentation or unclear responsibilities can undermine acceptance among customers, business partners, investors and regulatory authorities.

A structured assessment of an AI system provides a sound basis for safe, transparent and well-founded decisions.

Assessment of Your AI System Based on Recognised Trusted AI Principles

The Trusted AI GAP Analysis takes a holistic view of a specific AI system and assesses its trustworthiness, robustness and compliance from a technical, organisational and regulatory perspective.

The analysis covers the following areas, among others:

• System context and scope of application
• Transparency and traceability of decisions
• Human oversight and intervention options
• Risk management and system robustness
• Data protection and information security
• Governance and compliance requirements
• Relevant requirements of the EU AI Act
• Internal company policies and industry requirements

As a result, organisations receive a structured assessment of their AI system, including identified areas for improvement and concrete recommendations for action.

More Insights on Trusted AI and the EU AI Act

Trusted AI refers to the responsible use of artificial intelligence based on transparency, traceability, safety, fairness and human oversight. These principles are becoming increasingly important in light of the regulatory requirements of the EU AI Act.

A structured assessment helps organisations understand the current maturity of their AI systems and integrate relevant requirements into development, operations and governance at an early stage. This includes both technical aspects such as robustness and documentation, as well as organisational topics such as role models, responsibilities and risk management.

Key assessment areas include:

• Transparenz und Erklärbarkeit
• Human Oversight
• Risikomanagement
• Datenschutz
• Informationssicherheit
• Governance-Strukturen
• Compliance-Anforderungen
• Nachweis- und Dokumentationspflichten
