Our contributors join with deep knowledge and are experts in some or all of those areas, both theoretically and practically. We are drafting audit rules and standards for autonomous systems in every corner of the economy and forming cohorts that bring our experts together with industry practitioners to ensure that the audits achieve their mission of mitigating risks to humans while being comprehensive, pragmatic, and implementable. We have crafted 3000+ audit rules already and are working closely with the ICO in the UK to meet their request for a GDPR certification scheme. We have recently been confirmed as a Trusted Ecosystem Partner by the JAIC and we look forward to drafting audit rules for the JAIC’s TradeWind platform and implementing the DoD’s AI Ethics Principles.
