Can the public trust your company’s ethical and secure use of artificial intelligence in 2027?

TORONTO, ON – Statistics Canada reports that 19.2% of Canadian businesses used AI in the past year, a 300% increase from two years earlier.
For organizations adopting AI, the difficult question is no longer simply “Are we using AI responsibly?” It is “How can we prove that we are using AI ethically as we work to protect our clients and deliver tangible value?”

AIrisk, a Datarisk Canada initiative within the Informatica Group, is addressing that question through Verify4AI™, the company’s Verify™AI Risk Assessment, an independent assessment approach designed to examine the evidence behind AI governance.

Using Verify4AI™, Datarisk experts independently validate existing AI policies, vendor assessments, training-data decisions, privacy records and oversight logs, or identify where evidence is incomplete and build the missing record through independent assessment. Organizations receive confidential reports with remediation steps and expert advice on integrating AI within their supply chains, daily operations and employee usage. But the real value is in the shareable, public Statement of Trust™, Datarisk Canada’s unique attestation that demonstrates AI Risk Maturity to public audiences and builds credibility around the organization, whose return on investments becomes the public trust earned by the proven adoption of best practices..

Now available: AI Guidance for Canadian Organizations Assessment Pack

Best practices for AI Adoption are now freely available as part of Datarisk’s exclusive Assessment Pack translating Canadian AI guidance into practical checks around accountability, validity, safety, compliance, transparency and human rights, with lifecycle assessment, evidence registers and control-gap tracking. It is available from www.AiRisk.ca.

From AI claims to AI evidence

The Verify4AI™assessment is built for all Canadian organizations with clear objectives around generating value from AI, not limited to early adopters and innovators. Where evidence is sufficient, Verify4AI™helps establish its scope, relevance and adequacy. Where evidence is missing, the assessment identifies the gap and provides a path toward documented controls and oversight.

The official Statement of Trust™ attestation is a shareable record of the assessment scope, evidence, limitations, issue date, validity and verification path, giving boards, buyers and other stakeholders more confidence in the organization and their basis for evaluating AI accountability.

The question is no longer whether an organization has an AI policy. The value of Verify4AI™is whether an organization can be trusted to leverage AI in a way that the public can trust and benefit from.
