Scope of certification
What EAUS certifies - and what it does not
EAUS certifies how an organization uses AI. It does not certify the safety, accuracy or technical quality of the underlying AI system.
The standard looks at whether an organization is transparent about meaningful AI use, protects confidential information, and keeps a person responsible for important work and decisions.
