What It's All About

Trust in AI is built when its characteristics are understandable. These include transparency, robustness, fairness, data protection, and human oversight. For years, the VDE has been developing standards and testing procedures that can be used to evaluate these characteristics. This makes requirements measurable and comparable, and allows companies to know what they can rely on.
