As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to permeate every facet of our lives, its adoption by businesses across sectors is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. While AI promises to drive innovation and growth, it also brings many challenges that must be navigated carefully. Ensuring that our AI solutions are trustworthy, accurate, and unbiased is not just a necessity, but a responsibility that we all share.

In this rapidly evolving landscape, having a robust framework to control AI is of vital importance. It is no longer sufficient to merely implement AI; we must also ensure that it is "under control". This means continuously monitoring and managing our AI systems to ensure they align with our ethical standards, legal requirements, and organizational goals. It means being proactive in identifying and mitigating risks, and being transparent in our AI practices.

"AI under Control" is a comprehensive approach to integrating responsible AI practices into your organization's AI strategy. We will guide you and your team through the process of developing and implementing an AI control framework, helping you ensure that your AI systems are not just powerful, but also responsible and trustworthy.
