FAQ
Should every AI use case receive the same level of assessment?
No. The assessment should be proportionate to the data, autonomy and potential impact involved.
Can you assess an AI product supplied by a vendor?
Yes. We can review the proposed use, contractual information, available security documentation, data handling and the organisation’s reliance on the provider.
Can you help implement the recommendations?
Yes. Apexagen can help establish governance controls, improve the architecture, configure safeguards or support the implementation project.
