EU AI ACT · AGENT GOVERNANCE

Can you prove an AI decision was safe, fair, auditable — and the same tomorrow as today?

For credit scoring and insurance pricing — high-risk AI under the EU AI Act — that question is now an audit line, not a research topic. When a tier-1 bank open-sources its internal AI-governance toolkit with Legal and the CISO signing off, the expected baseline moves for everyone. The open scaffold is the easy part. DWS IQ runs the gates continuously and signs the evidence per decision — sovereign, in your jurisdiction.

Safe & contained

Every agent bound to a verified human identity, isolated in a MicroVM sandbox, with TC-4 Leash-Snap chain termination. EU AI Act Art. 14–15.

Know Your Agent →

Fair & non-discriminatory

Counterfactual fairness testing on financed and underwriting decisions — published methodology, signed result. EU AI Act Art. 10, Annex III.

Auditable & reproducible

Article 12-logged decision records and signed artifacts — the same answer tomorrow as today, on demand for your auditor.

Sovereign & vendor-neutral

Per-agent model routing with no CLOUD Act surface on the data plane — required under DORA ICT third-party risk.

Who owns AI governance in your institution — and what each role wins

Owner What they own What they win
CISO / InfoSec AI attack surface, agent-action monitoring, containment sign-off A board-credible “our AI is safe and contained” without staffing an open-source office
Legal / DPO EU AI Act conformity, DPIA, fairness evidence Continuous signed evidence instead of one-off model audits
CIO / IT Integration, vendor consolidation, no lock-in Sovereign, vendor-neutral routing with no CLOUD Act surface
CRO / Business line Credit & underwriting decisions that must survive audit Faster, defensible approvals — fewer rework loops
CFO / Board Risk Capital & risk exposure, board narrative Auditable AI as a stated, evidenced board posture
