Independent expert testimony on AI, on the record.
When a legal, regulatory, or legislative matter turns on how an AI system behaves, you need an independent expert who can explain it clearly and stand behind the conclusion under scrutiny. That is what we provide: rigorous, independent testimony and opinion on AI systems, their risks, and their governance.
What we can speak to
Whether an AI system does what its owners claim, and how anyone can tell: bias and disparate impact, accuracy and robustness, safety, data practices, and whether the organization governed and tested the system responsibly. We explain the technical clearly enough for a judge, a jury, a regulator, or a committee to follow.
Ways to engage.
01
Expert reports and opinions: Written analysis of an AI system, a testing regime, or a governance structure.
02
Testifying expert: Testimony at deposition, hearing, or trial, and before regulators and lawmakers.
03
Consulting expert: Support for counsel in assessing the other side’s expert, shaping the technical questions, and checking claims about the system.
An expert opinion is only as good as its independence.
01
We do not build AI systems.
02
We do not sell AI systems.
03
We do not operate AI systems.
