 CertifAI offers a combination of technical and regulatory expertise. As a Corporate Joint Venture supported by PwC, DEKRA, and the City of Hamburg, CertifAI has gained experience in various highly regulated industries. Combined with detailed technical testing of AI systems, this makes CertifAI the ideal partner for Claas. “We are proud to support Claas in the development of its AI solutions.
