EY AI Confidence

EY AI Confidence represents the artificial intelligence assurance and governance practice of Ernst & Young, one of the Big Four professional services organizations. With a global presence in over 150 countries and more than 390,000 professionals, EY has developed a comprehensive AI assurance methodology centered on its AI Confidence framework, which is designed to help organizations build trust in their AI systems while managing risks and meeting regulatory obligations. The firm has also invested significantly in its EY.ai platform, a proprietary technology ecosystem that combines AI tools, industry knowledge, and advisory capabilities. EY's AI Confidence framework provides a structured approach to evaluating and assuring AI systems across their lifecycle. The framework addresses key dimensions of AI trustworthiness including accuracy and performance, fairness and bias, transparency and explainability, privacy and security, reliability and robustness, and governance and accountability. EY's audit teams use this framework to conduct independent assessments of AI systems, providing organizations and their stakeholders with credible assurance that AI deployments meet regulatory and ethical standards. The firm has a particularly strong focus on financial services, where AI governance and model risk management requirements are most mature and demanding. EY's experience with financial model validation and regulatory compliance in banking, insurance, and capital markets gives it a natural advantage in extending these capabilities to AI-specific assurance. The firm also provides AI governance services to healthcare, government, and technology sectors, with engagements tailored to sector-specific regulatory environments and risk profiles. EY's AI assurance services include AI governance program design, algorithmic impact assessments, model validation and audit, regulatory compliance readiness, board-level advisory, and third-party AI due diligence. The firm integrates its AI assurance capabilities with broader technology risk, cybersecurity, and data privacy services, providing a holistic view of technology-related risks. EY's AI assurance services target large enterprise and global organizations, with engagements that are consulting-led and carry premium pricing. The firm is best suited for organizations in regulated industries, particularly financial services, where independent AI assurance is increasingly expected by regulators, boards, and external stakeholders. EY's combination of deep financial services expertise, the EY.ai technology platform, and global delivery capabilities positions it as a strong choice for enterprise AI assurance.
