TelAve News/10876940
THORNWOOD, N.Y. - TelAve -- ForHumanity launches a Risk Management and Bias Mitigation AI Policy Accelerator, to develop, document, and evaluate corporate compliance ForHumanity's CORE AAA Governance certification scheme.  The AI Policy Accelerator is designed to help companies establish robust and auditable governance, oversight, and accountability for their AI Systems.  Servus is the first AI company to submit its public sector AI tool for both Risk Management and Bias Mitigation assessment and assurance.  Assessed Intelligence has offered to concurrently assess and assure compliance with the CORE AAA Governance audit criteria. This independent oversight demonstrates SERVUS's commitment to transparent, accountable AI systems that serve both municipal fiscal and regulatory needs along with community equity.

The AI system will be reviewed by the AI Policy Accelerator community consisting of academics, practitioners, students of ForHumanity AI Education and Training Center and ForHumanity Certified Auditors. When completed, Servus and the ForHumanity volunteers  will have collaborated to implement a compliance framework that includes all of the following controls:
  1. Risk management policy,
  2. Algorithmic risk assessment,
  3. Systematic process for identifying and compiling residual risk,
  4. Bias mitigation policy,
  5. Processes and procedures for mitigating statistical bias, cognitive bias, and technology barrier bias that may exist in any aspect of the algorithmic process (e.g., source data, architectural inputs, and/or outcomes)

Assessed Intelligence's independent auditors will concurrently evaluate and assure Servus' compliance controls.

Ryan Carrier, Executive Director of ForHumanity said, "ForHumanity created the AI Policy Accelerator to enable a robust, practical, and interactive learning experience designed to foster compliance with the CORE AAA Governance certification scheme. We are grateful to Servus for participating in the Policy Accelerator with its purpose-built public sector AI.  We are grateful to Assessed Intelligence for their independent assurance of the completed controls. Collectively this work validates the robustness of Independent Audit of AI Systems"

Bryan Glenn, Servus' CEO commented, "We understand that government systems directly impact everyone's lives. It is obvious that new standards for responsible and sustainable technology adoption for municipalities is mandatory. Our investment in the ForHumanity accelerator and subsequent Assessed Intelligence audit and certification is evidence of SERVUS's commitment to demonstrating our values and serves as a signal to government stakeholders about our willingness to assist them achieve their goals with cutting-edge technologies."

Joshua Scarpino, CEO for Assessed Intelligence said "ForHumanity's team of experts have invested countless hours since April 2020 developing audit standards designed to be assured by independent third party auditors.  We determined that their risk management and bias mitigation is the most assurable criteria in the world due to its binary (compliant/non-compliant) nature.  The AI Policy Accelerator will enable Assessed Intelligence to validate Servus' risk management and bias mitigation processes, procedures, and controls with minimal ambiguity."

ForHumanity makes AI Policy Accelerators available all around the world, including Governance/Oversight/Accountability, Risk Management, Ethical Oversight, AI Literacy, Data Management, Transparency, Monitoring, Human Oversight, and Quality Management, designed to establish foundational compliance controls necessary to meet legal obligations in many different jurisdictions.

Katie Grillaert, ForHumanity Fellow and project lead for the risk management and bias mitigation policy accelerator stated, "Inside the accelerator, we have three goals:
  1. To establish world class compliance controls specifically applicable to Servus' AI tool
  2. To provide ForHumanity volunteers practical experience in establishing robust compliance controls
  3. To share with the world post mortem lessons learned about this process through our AI Policy Accelerator public report."
