AI Governance and Responsible Innovation | Gerald Kierce, Trustible AI

Understanding the regulatory landscape in AI governance is essential for organizations to comply with emerging regulations, such as the EU AI Act. Responsible AI goes beyond principles to accountability, requiring organizations to demonstrate ethical practices in their AI implementations. Model transparency ratings provide a valuable tool for evaluating large language models and assessing their risk factors based on public disclosure.   In this episode we sit with Gerald Kierce, co-founder and CEO of Trustible AI, a leading technology provider focused on responsible AI governance. Gerald provides insights into his background, including his experience at FiscalNote and his vision for Trustible AI. The discussion covers how Trustible AI helps organizations manage AI risks, comply with emerging regulations, and implement responsible AI practices. Gerald also shares his thoughts on the regulatory landscape, the role of third-party audits, and the challenges and strategies in building an AI governance platform. The conversation also touches upon Trustible AI's recent feature, the model transparency ratings, and the complexities of fundraising in the AI sector.   If your company is looking to scale its AI initiatives, head over to Tesoro AI (www.tesoroai.com).
