What the buyer published

This requirement is for a proof of concept project which will build on the work of Cyber Futures. Key activities include building tools and frameworks to assess and assure AI systems effectively. These tools will evaluate AI systems against key values such as fairness, safety, and resilience, ensuring they meet ethical standards and perform reliably under real-world conditions. The project will demonstrate and apply AI testing techniques, such as stress testing and scenario analysis, to identify potential weaknesses and ensure robustness.
