Ottawa, ON, September 14, 2023: NuEnergy.ai announces that its Generative AI Guardrails™ (GAIG) package is fully aligned with the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) Guidelines on Generative AI. As a key new element of its Machine Trust PlatformTM, NuEnergy’s GAIG offering includes a package of solutions for enablement of Generative AI policy-development and transparent registration and classification of uses and applications, in compliance with TBS guidelines. To facilitate operationalizing the principles of the TBS guidelines, the GAIG package also assesses the impact/risk levels of each use case, so as to provide effective, configurable governance guardrails for Government of Canada Departments.
“Thank you, Minister Anand, President of the Treasury Board, for emphasizing the importance of governing Generative AI and clarifying the requirements for Government of Canada employees. This leadership should serve as a model for all private sector and other public sector organizations,” says Niraj Bhargava, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Ottawa-based NuEnergy.ai. “With NuEnergy.ai’s ISED-approved (via Innovation Solutions Canada) AI Governance solutions, we are uniquely positioned to assist government leaders and employees in taking practical actions to meet governance guidelines. This can help ensure citizens’ trust while leveraging the advancements for more effective government operations.”
The NuEnergy.ai GAIG package is part of a suite of products and services offering users clear governance and management tools to oversee their inventory of advanced technologies and is an integrated element of NuEnergy’s Machine Trust Platform (MTP). The MTP has the ability to measure essential trust parameters including privacy, ethics, transparency, explainability, security, and bias and protects against the risks of AI drift. Global standards, including those from the Government of Canada, are integrated into the platform, which can be configured to include other relevant governance standards or specific use-case requirements.
The GAIG package is already available to government employees, paving the way for the responsible and transparent use of Generative AI within departments. NuEnergy’s GAIG package meet the requirements outlined by the Treasury Board Secretariat and are offered through the Pathway to Commercialization (PTC) program, a framework that allows Canadian start-ups who have successfully completed the ISC Testing Stream and who fulfill the PTC acceptance requirements to sell their innovations within the Government of Canada. NuEnergy AI Governance Solutions achieved this acceptance in March 2023.
NuEnergy also understands that every department has unique requirements. That’s why the GAIG package is highly configurable to seamlessly adapt to department-specific needs and differing impact and risk levels, and classes of Generative AI use.
NuEnergy commends the Government of Canada for taking these important steps towards responsible AI governance. NuEnergy’s mission is to empower organizations to harness AI’s potential while ensuring ethical and responsible usage.
