Trustworthiness of AI: Are there rulers to measure?
What criteria and assessments must AI developers adhere to in order to claim that their AI system is dependable, secure, and safe, as demanded by regulatory agencies, notified bodies, and industry leaders? Are developers permitted to establish their own evaluation methods and procedural tests to gauge trustworthiness, or is there a specific procedure that must be followed to assert the trustworthiness of AI accurately? This talk focuses on addressing these inquiries from the European Union (EU) perspective.
