How to create an evidence trail for AI decisions

How to create an evidence trail for AI decisions

An evidence trail for AI decisions is built from four things: a record of what the model was asked, the output it produced, the source passage that output relied on, and the human decision that followed. Together these let a team reconstruct and defend how a conclusion was reached.

Use case

Choosing software with Canadian data residency under Law 25 and PIPEDA

Choosing software with Canadian data residency under Law 25 and PIPEDA

Canadian data residency means your data is stored and processed on servers physically located in Canada. Neither PIPEDA nor Quebec's Law 25 requires it outright, but both create accountability and assessment obligations for information sent outside the country or province, which is why many Canadian organizations shortlist vendors that keep data in Canada.

How-to

How do you measure privilege review quality?

How do you measure privilege review quality?
