Seeking UK Consortium Partners for Responsible AI Deployment and Governance

Founder & Director — AI Governance & Assurance at Trusted AI Governance Ltd

London, United Kingdom

About

Project Cooperation: Trustworthy AI Deployment and Continuous Assurance

Organisation: Trusted AI Governance Ltd
Location: London, United Kingdom
Opportunity: Collaborative innovation, consortium development and enterprise pilot projects

Project vision

As artificial intelligence moves from experimentation into business-critical operations, organisations face increasing challenges around AI visibility, risk management, regulatory compliance, accountability and ongoing assurance.

Trusted AI Governance Ltd is seeking UK industry, technology and research partners to explore the development and validation of practical, scalable approaches to responsible enterprise AI deployment.

Our proposed collaboration aims to connect AI innovation with continuous governance, helping organisations deploy AI systems with greater transparency, accountability and confidence.

Proposed areas of collaboration

1. AI discovery and governance

Explore methods for identifying, documenting and governing enterprise AI systems, including shadow AI and AI agents.

2. Continuous AI risk management

Develop and evaluate approaches to AI risk assessment, ownership, governance controls and ongoing monitoring.

3. Regulatory readiness and assurance

Investigate evidence-based approaches aligned with the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001 and NIST AI Risk Management Framework.

4. Governance-by-design for AI deployment

Explore how governance and assurance controls can be integrated into AI implementation and operational workflows rather than added retrospectively.

5. Enterprise pilot validation

Collaborate with industry partners to test governance and assurance approaches against real-world AI deployment challenges and evaluate their practical business value.

What TrustedAIGov can contribute

Trusted AI Governance Ltd is developing TrustedAIGov, an enterprise AI governance and assurance software platform.

We can contribute platform development expertise, enterprise transformation experience, AI governance and assurance knowledge, and a technology foundation for exploring AI inventory, risk management, regulatory readiness and evidence management.

Specific technical capabilities, integration requirements and pilot scope would be agreed with prospective partners.

Partners we are seeking

We welcome collaboration with:

  • UK businesses and SMEs implementing AI in operational environments

  • AI developers and technology providers building enterprise AI applications and agents

  • Universities and research organisations specialising in trustworthy AI, AI safety, governance and assurance

  • System integrators and consultancies supporting enterprise AI adoption

  • Industry partners willing to explore practical AI governance pilot use cases

Potential outcomes

Depending on partner interests, project feasibility and funding eligibility, a collaboration could explore:

  • A jointly defined responsible AI deployment use case

  • Prototype or pilot integration of governance and assurance capabilities

  • Practical evaluation of AI governance controls and evidence collection

  • Research findings and reusable implementation approaches

  • A potential collaborative Innovate UK funding application

Collaboration invitation

We are interested in forming meaningful partnerships that combine industry challenges, research expertise and technology innovation.

If your organisation is developing, deploying or researching AI and is interested in trustworthy AI governance, assurance or collaborative innovation, we would welcome an introductory discussion.
