The financial services industry has to manage the special risks associated with AI, especially with big language models, as its use grows. This is especially important in light of growing customer concerns and regulatory scrutiny.

In order to address this problem, ValidMind is providing risk management platforms that enable businesses to automate risk governance, documentation, and testing processes for statistical and artificial intelligence models.

ValidMind claims that by automating the labor-intensive aspects of model risk management (MRM) and model documentation, it may shorten the time it takes to market for models, boost developer productivity, and enhance results.

The CEO of ValidMind, Jonas Jacobi, states: "Regulators are putting more and more pressure on MRM teams at financial institutions to ensure compliance and the business to deploy more AI solutions faster. As a result, the teams are relying on an already time-consuming process because of a lack of purpose-built tools and an increase in model complexity.

With this funding, our commitment is reinforced to aiding customers in enhancing the speed and efficiency of their MRM processes. Additionally, it aims to reduce time-to-market for new AI solutions and ensure compliance with global AI and model risk regulations.
