Coalfire Leads the Charge in Responsible AI Certification
In a groundbreaking move, Coalfire, a premier provider of cybersecurity services, has achieved a significant milestone by becoming one of the first certification bodies accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB). This recognition allows Coalfire to uphold the ISO/IEC 420012023 standard, an essential framework for AI governance. The ISO 42001 standard is pivotal in establishing ethical and auditable practices in managing Artificial Intelligence.
As technology and AI continue to evolve, organizations face the growing challenge of ensuring their AI systems are not only innovative but also ethical and secure. Aiming to facilitate this, Coalfire has launched its AIMS+ offering, which merges ISO 42001 certification with comprehensive testing of deep learning models. This dual approach provides clients with unmatched assurance regarding responsible AI deployment.
The AIMS+ Offering
AIMS+ is tailored for any organization in any industry looking to enhance its AI systems. The framework comprises two main services:
1.
ISO 42001 Certification Services: This service provides organizations with the guidance needed to establish and maintain AI governance systems aligned with the ISO 42001 standard. Achieving this certification demonstrates a firm commitment to transparent, ethical, and secure AI practices.
2.
Deep Model Testing: Coalfire’s team of experts conducts rigorous assessments of complex AI and deep learning models. They focus on evaluating essential attributes, such as fairness, bias, explainability, robustness, and security vulnerabilities. This proactive approach helps clients identify and mitigate real-world risks in their AI models prior to deployment.
The Importance of Trust in AI
Tom Galizia, the president of Coalfire, emphasized the critical need for trust in the AI landscape. He stated, “We are at a pivotal moment in the evolution of AI, where building trust is essential for widespread adoption and realizing its full potential.” He views Coalfire’s AIMS+ offering as a transformative solution that not only aids organizations in achieving ISO 42001 certification but also thoroughly tests their AI models to highlight any biases, vulnerabilities, and associated risks. This comprehensive approach establishes a level of assurance that the industry has lacked until now.
