How to trust AI in 2027: Security, testing, and human expertise

AI is moving from models that answer questions to connected systems and agents that act. That changes what trust requires. Security, privacy, and safety now matter as much as model performance, and a certificate issued on test day no longer describes a system that keeps changing.

AI is moving from models that answer questions to connected systems and agents that act. That changes what trust requires. Security, privacy, and safety now matter as much as model performance, and a certificate issued on test day no longer describes a system that keeps changing.

Airplanes are not risk-free, yet we board them because they are designed for safety and independently tested.

Can AI earn the same trust?

Rob van der Veer, Chief AI Officer at Software Improvement Group (SIG) and founder of the OWASP AI Exchange, talks with Xavier Valero, Global Head of AI & Digital Products at SGS, about what it takes to earn that trust, so organizations can adopt AI with control. 

It is aimed at the leaders who sign off on AI systems and the teams who secure and assess them.

You will leave with:

  • What security by design looks like for AI agents, and what testing can then verify
  • How to match testing and independent assurance to the use case, and keep both current
  • Why skills belong in your assurance plan, and how a credential such as the EXIN AI Security Professional (AISP) can show your team has them
