Unveiling Transparency: First Step towards Responsible AI Disclosures

Trust is the foundation that enables the widespread adoption of generative AI in the enterprise. Credo is dedicated to constructing this bedrock of trust for AI, providing essential tools that allow vendors to demonstrate the safety, security, fairness, compliance, and human-centered nature of their AI systems. Simultaneously, Credo empowers organizations embarking on their AI journey to assess the trustworthiness of vendor tools. In recent months, the urgency surrounding generative AI adoption has surged, prompting a significant demand for AI governance. Businesses now recognize the imperative of evaluating the risks associated with tools such as ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and the underlying models that drive these applications.

“At Credo, the firm belief is that transparency is the cornerstone of safe AI use,” says Navrina Singh, Credo's founder and CEO. “Embracing Responsible AI Disclosure as the norm across companies ensures collective AI success, promoting the development, procurement, and responsible use of systems that benefit both businesses and society at large." Rooted in this belief in transparency, Credo has taken initial strides towards establishing a standardized framework for evaluating the risk and trustworthiness of generative AI vendor tools. Credo is sharing the evaluations of common generative AI tools based on this framework. These profiles equip organizations with a high-level understanding of the risks that vendors have proactively mitigated, as well as those that remain unresolved, necessitating further governance at the tool's point of use. Credo remains committed to collaborating with AI vendors and the wider AI ecosystem, forging a path towards public Responsible AI postures, akin to the data privacy, cybersecurity, and climate disclosures embraced by the industry to build trust with stakeholders. By doing so, Credo is building a future where transparency reigns, trust thrives, and responsible AI becomes the norm.

AI governance for the AI-powered enterprise

Credo AI is an AI governance platform designed to help companies adopt, scale, and govern AI systems safely and effectively. It offers a centralized repository of AI metadata, providing a comprehensive view of AI systems and machine learning models. For business stakeholders, Credo AI features an AI Registry that offers visibility into the risk and value of AI initiatives. This tool helps prioritize AI projects by revenue potential, impact, and risk, ensuring optimal allocation of resources. Additionally, the Risk Center provides an operational view of AI risk, allowing organizations to identify critical areas that require governance.

Compliance stakeholders benefit from the AI Governance Workspace, which facilitates collaboration on AI use cases. This workspace allows users to assign and track controls, store evidence securely, and generate reports with ease. To standardize governance requirements, the Policy Intelligence feature offers Policy Packs that include modular technical, process, and documentation requirements, helping organizations comply with laws, regulations, and standards. Technical stakeholders can implement policy-to-code governance through Credo AI’s Technical Integrations, seamlessly sending evidence from existing MLOps tools to meet governance requirements. The Vendor Portal enables the evaluation of third-party AI risks by applying Policy Packs to external AI tools and collecting necessary compliance evidence.

Credo AI also addresses the adoption of generative AI tools with its Generative AI Guardrails, providing out-of-the-box controls to mitigate risks associated with large language models like ChatGPT. To further streamline governance, automated governance reports can be generated, including model cards, impact assessments, and dashboards for various stakeholders such as executives and regulators. Credo AI offers flexible deployment options, including public cloud, private cloud, and self-hosted solutions, ensuring metadata remains secure within the customer’s environment. Integration is seamless with AI systems and technical tools through Credo AI Lens, an open-source Python library that integrates with CI/CD pipelines, ensuring that models and datasets never leave the customer’s environment.
