Thinkfobiel Partners With Swiss CERTX on AI Trustworthiness Certification and Evaluation
TECHWORLD ·
✦ AI Summary
Thinkfobiel signed an MOU with CERTX to pursue joint research and business in AI trustworthiness.
The two companies plan to share technologies and methodologies in AI system evaluation, data Fidelity, standards, and regulatory compliance, and to develop verification services and consulting models.
They will also pursue joint participation in projects in Korea, Switzerland, and Europe, link products, evaluation tools, and platforms, and carry out mutual market expansion, joint seminars, and training sessions.
Thinkfobiel is joining forces with CERTX to combine AI trustworthiness technologies and target the global AI certification and evaluation market. On the 4th local time, Thinkfobiel announced at CERTX headquarters in Fribourg, Switzerland, that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for joint research and development and business promotion in AI trustworthiness.
Under the partnership, Thinkfobiel and CERTX plan to jointly advance research and development and business activities related to AI trustworthiness. CERTX is a company specializing in testing, evaluation, and certification in the fields of AI, functional safety, and cybersecurity.
CERTX has obtained certification in the fields of functional safety and cybersecurity from the Swiss Accreditation Service (SAS), a Swiss government agency. It is also part of SGS Group, a global testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) company.
CERTX conducts evaluation and certification for AI systems covering trustworthiness, safety, security, and fairness in compliance with international standards and regulations. It is also developing an evaluation and certification framework that takes into account the EU AI Act, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF), and ISO/IEC 42001.
Based on the agreement, the two companies will share technologies and methodologies in areas including AI system evaluation, data Fidelity, standards, and regulatory compliance. Thinkfobiel has data Fidelity analysis technology, while CERTX has certification and evaluation capabilities. By combining Thinkfobiel's data Fidelity analysis technology with CERTX's certification and evaluation capabilities, the two companies plan to develop AI trustworthiness, safety, bias, robustness, and performance verification services as well as consulting models for AI trustworthiness, safety, bias, robustness, and performance verification.
The two companies will pursue joint research and development. Target projects include government and private-sector R&D projects in Korea, Switzerland, Europe, and elsewhere, and the two companies will work to identify additional R&D projects. If necessary, they will form a consortium and participate jointly through it.
The two companies will also seek market entry by linking their existing products, evaluation tools, and platforms. In addition, they will mutually support Thinkfobiel's expansion in Europe and CERTX's entry into the Korean market. They also plan to hold joint seminars, joint training sessions, and technical presentations for customers on AI trustworthiness, certification, and regulatory compliance.
Thinkfobiel said the focus of this collaboration is to connect its proprietary data Fidelity technology with global AI certification frameworks. Assuming that AI model performance can change depending on data shifts after deployment, the company aims to expand the technology's use beyond the point of certification to continuously verify trustworthiness during operations.
CERTX linked this to the key challenges of AI certification. Vincent Franck Sabo, CEO of CERTX, said that a key challenge in AI certification is not only ensuring compliance at a specific point in time, but also maintaining the validity of certification over time in consideration of data drift after certification. He added that applying Thinkfobiel's data Fidelity analysis technology would expand the ability to objectively verify changes after certification.
Thinkfobiel views the collaboration as an opportunity for Korean technology to enter global AI certification frameworks. Park Ji-hwan, CEO of Thinkfobiel, said that AI certification will become both a competitive advantage for entering global markets and a new barrier to entry, and added that the partnership marks a turning point beyond helping Korean companies obtain overseas certifications and toward enabling Korean technology to enter the core technologies that shape global AI certification frameworks.
