What Is an AI Readiness Assessment?
An AI Readiness Assessment is a structured review of your organisation’s preparedness to safely adopt or expand the use of Artificial Intelligence — whether through in-house development or third-party tools like Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, or industry-specific AI platforms.
We help you:
- Identify where AI is currently being used (or could be)
- Evaluate existing policies, risks, and controls
- Understand legal, ethical, and privacy obligations
- Establish guardrails that align with your values, stakeholders, and regulators
Our Framework: AM AI SAFE
Our proprietary AM AI SAFE (Assessment and Monitoring of AI Safety, Accountability, Fairness and Ethics) framework is built around 11 critical domains of AI governance, aligned to national and international standards including:
- Australia’s AI Ethics Principles
- NIST AI RMF
- ISO/IEC 42001
- Australia’s Voluntary AI Safety Standards
- EU AI Act
- OECD AI Principles
Key Assessment Domains
Designed to answer fundamental questions concerning an organization’s readiness or capacity to implement AI safely and securely:
- Fairness – “Does your AI treat all users and groups equitably, avoiding bias in decisions and outcomes?“
- Transparency – “Is your AI open and clear about how it makes decisions and processes information?“
- Explainability – “Can your AI clearly explain its decisions in a way that is understandable to users and stakeholders?”
- Accountability – “Is your AI designed to ensure responsibility and accountability for its actions and outcomes?”
- Data Integrity – “Does your AI rely on accurate, complete, and reliable data to ensure trustworthy outcomes?”
- Reliability – “Is your AI consistent and dependable in its performance under varying conditions?”
- Security – “Is your AI protected against unauthorized access, manipulation, and cyber threats?”
- Privacy – “Does your AI safeguard personal data and comply with privacy regulations?”
- Sustainability – “Is your AI designed to minimize environmental impact and promote energy efficiency?”
- Inclusivity – “Does your AI ensure accessibility and fairness for diverse users, including underserved and marginalized groups?”
- Safety – “Is your AI designed to prevent harm and operate safely in all scenarios?”
