"AI assurance provides the tools and techniques required to measure, evaluate, and communicate the trustworthiness of AI systems, and is essential for creating clear expectations for AI companies – unlocking widespread adoption in both the private and public sectors. A flourishing AI assurance ecosystem is critical to give consumers, industry, and regulators the confidence that AI systems work and are used as intended. AI assurance is also an economic activity in its own right — the UK’s mature assurance ecosystem for cyber security is worth nearly £4 billion to the UK economy.?

"The ‘Assuring a responsible future for AI’ report is an original publication that — for the first time — surveys the state of the AI assurance market in the UK, identifies opportunities for future growth, and sets out how the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology’s (DSIT) work will seize these opportunities and drive the growth of this emerging industry."
