A modular and interoperable trustworthy environment

Ultimate goal of the Confiance.ai programme, the trustworthy environment aims to answer the needs of industrials, from the specification of the issue through to the maintenance in operational condition and cybersecurity of the system integrating AI. This will involve controlling the behaviour of the system and, where necessary, updating its components. The instantiation of the trustworthy environment will be in the form of a tool-based chain, which will be both modular and interoperable. It will be modular as it aims to cover and reach different attributes of trust depending on formulated use case and whose variability could not be addressed through a simple unique set of operable tools in order to ensure its progressive integration within existing workshops and design environments. It will be interoperable, on the one hand, through the compatibility of the tool-based chain with the design tools used in the environments and, on the other hand, through the agnosticism of the underlying operating environment in relation to the infrastructures likely to host it. As such, the adopted process will seamlessly complement existing engineering workshops, without transforming them.

A set of tool-based design tools will come in support of the trustworthy environment: these will be available to users, whatever their role, and are designed to accompany them throughout the creation process of an AI-based trustworthy system.
