Abstract

As AI becomes embedded in nearly every business function, regulators, investors, and customers are demanding credible evidence that these systems actually perform as claimed, yet frameworks like ISO/IEC 42001 certify management systems without providing assurance over individual AI systems. This session explains what technical AI assurance is in plain terms, how it borrows the established practitioner/responsible-party/intended-user model from financial audit (including ISAE 3000-style reasonable and limited assurance), and how a real engagement is actually conducted, from selecting a normative framework and applicable criteria through evidence-gathering procedures such as inspection, inquiry, reperformance, and analytical testing. Worked examples, including NYC Local Law 144 bias audits, LLM testing against the NIST AI RMF Generative AI Profile, and EU AI Act risk-management engagements, ground the concepts in concrete practice.
