SOLUTIONS > AI TECHNOLOGY DUE DILIGENCE
Performing a reliable due diligence on AI companies and systems necessitates an AI Technology Due Diligence. This process requires a thorough understanding of the AI model or algorithm to identify hidden risks and opportunities specific to the AI technology. Our AI Technology Due Diligence solution is designed to meet this need effectively. Using our AI Quality Testing Platform, iQ4AI, we can evaluate any AI-based system, providing a detailed risk analysis and a practical roadmap for improvement. Identifying the hidden risks and opportunities stemming from AI technology is crucial for a thorough due diligence process of any AI company or system. These risks:
  • Cannot be assessed through any other type of analysis or method
  • Require expert tools and knowledge
  • May significantly impact the investment value
The data-driven analysis of our iQ4AI in combination with the expertise of our AI engineers and advisors help us identify the hidden AI-related risks and opportunities for a given investment. n
Our testing capability leverages the ISO 29119-11 international standard to analyze various data and AI models comprehensively. By delving into the AI model and its data, we provide clients with a thorough understanding of their AI systems. Our evaluation focuses on the system’s Quality, encompassing performance, trustworthiness, fairness, transparency, robustness, security, and reliability. This multi-faceted approach ensures that AI systems not only meet business operational requirements but also maintain ethical standards, security, and transparency.
Features
AI Technology Risk Analysis
We identify and evaluate AI-related findings — not only the obvious main frameworks in use, but also crucial processes/steps such as data analysis and preparation, model’s deployment and so on. Subsequently we translate these findings into business risks alongside with the respective mitigation measures.
Context-specific Analysis
In such analysis we clarify the future adaptability, scalability, and integration ability of the target company’s AI-model, giving our clients a factual and context-specific basis to understand the feasibility and likely costs of future growth.
Post-transaction Improvement Roadmap
A topline set of recommendation regarding improvement areas. Our guidance is practical, pragmatic and can lead to measurable results, that can be confirmed through our AI Quality Testing Platform. That means you can start your improvement plan right away alongside our guidance and advisory.
