What is AI readiness assessment?
AI quality readiness assessment or analysis is an evaluation of the current status of AI in your organisation. It informs you where you currently stand and what you should do to achieve better quality and safety of your AI systems.
A thorough AI readiness assessment from a trusted third-party such as TÜV SÜD will cover a number of areas. These include human and organisational factors, technology and performance considerations, and legal, ethical and sustainability aspects.
Why AI readiness assessment is important
An AI readiness check can help you know the strengths and weaknesses of your current AI implementation. This helps you set the base to develop and adopt AI technology at scale.
It ensures that different aspects of your organisation, from technical to human to legal, work seamlessly with one another for successful AI implementation and digital transformation.
The outcome is a clear understanding of which quality and compliance requirements are relevant to your organisation and how far you meet them. You build a strategic knowledge of current and upcoming standards and regulations, which is crucial to ensure future market access.

What our AI readiness assessment services include
We assess your organisation’s readiness to master AI quality either as a developer or as a user of AI products and systems. We base our AI readiness analysis on best practices, latest developments in standardisation and global regulatory efforts.
We analyse your ability to manage AI quality, master AI governance and model quality, optimise AI operations, maintain a reliable data pipeline and proper data management, and comply with existing and upcoming AI standards and regulations.
We identify gaps across the entire AI lifecycle, from conceptualisation to implementation and operation. Our AI readiness check covers six key quality pillars that are examined throughout the lifecycle.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Who is involved in an AI readiness analysis process?
Your whole organisation is involved in an AI readiness assessment. This includes your technical team, quality management, IT, product owners and management, and legal.
We are already getting good results from our AI. Why do we need additional AI readiness assessment?
Writer’s note: This is currently written in a way that’s very different from our intended tone of voice which is a mature, knowledgeable and helpful tone of voice. So I reworded it a lot while retaining its key points.
AI touches your entire organisation. New circumstances such as unexpected conditions, adversarial attacks, and evolving regulatory requirements can introduce complexity. As such, it is always worthwhile to invest in a thorough AI readiness assessment

Do I need AI readiness analysis for my Internet of Things (IoT) devices?
AI is embedded into IoT devices. This means that the AI in your IoT devices should meet the highest standards for AI quality and safety. This necessitates AI readiness assessment.
Can AI readiness analysis protect me from legal liabilities?
Yes, it can reduce the risk of legal liabilities. However, it is only a step on your journey.
What is the difference between readiness analysis and guided assessment?
Readiness analysis provides an overview on how mature your AI implementation is, and what your greatest weakness and risks are. It does not assess each and single quality criteria. It is a compass to prioritise the next steps.
Guided assessment scans your AI systems thoroughly and gives you a clear and detailed picture for each possible quality criteria. It identifies all aspects of the gaps with standards and regulations.
