The Challenge: Turning Regulatory Constraints into Ethical Advantages
As Artificial Intelligence redefines business models, the European legislative framework (AI Act) imposes unprecedented rigor. For companies, the challenge goes beyond mere compliance: it is about establishing trustworthy AI capable of balancing technological performance, data protection, and social responsibility.
The goal of this project is to develop proactive governance that protects the organization from legal and reputational risks while promoting ethical innovation with clients and partners.
The Need: Securing Deployment and Credibility of Innovation
Integrating AI into business processes requires a multidisciplinary management framework to address key challenges:
- Compliance with the AI Act: Deciphering and anticipating obligations related to different risk levels (prohibited systems, high risk, etc.).
- Multidisciplinary Governance: Creating bridges between IT, Legal, and Business departments via dedicated oversight committees.
- Bias Control and Transparency: Ensuring algorithm fairness and traceability of automated decisions.
- Culture of Responsibility: Raising awareness among employees about responsible AI to prevent "Shadow AI" and ethical deviations.
Sofrecom’s Approach: An "Ethics by Design" Methodology
Sofrecom supports organizations in industrializing their compliance through a structured and agile approach:
- Maturity Audit and Mapping: Inventory of existing AI systems and classification based on regulatory criticality.
- Ethical Governance Framework: Defining guiding principles and establishing a centralized oversight body to arbitrate projects.
- Evaluation Engineering: Deploying monitoring tools (ethics KPIs) and testing protocols to evaluate algorithms from conception ("Ethics by Design").
- Monitoring and Training: Setting up a regulatory watch unit and training programs to ensure team autonomy.
