Trustworthy AI for agriculture: CLAAS cooperates with CertifAI

As a world-leading manufacturer of agricultural machinery, CLAAS recognises AI as a key technology that can create increased customer benefits. When developing new products, the company addresses both the technical and regulatory challenges associated with the development of AI-based solutions. To tackle these issues even more effectively, CLAAS has joined forces with the AI testing and certification company CertifAI. Their unique test methods and processes support the development of modern, innovative AI systems – thus ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and at the same time fostering technical innovation.

Artificial intelligence is set to play an increasingly important role in many areas of agriculture in future. CLAAS is at the forefront – not least through its partnership with CertifAI.

Focus on safety and quality

CLAAS and CertifAI have formed a partnership to ensure the safe development of artificial intelligence within the CLAAS product portfolio. As a result of this collaboration, the partners have thoroughly tested the existing development phases and succeeded in devising a secure AI development process. Dr.-Ing. Torben Töniges, Head of AI / Analytics Products at CLAAS, explains: "At CLAAS we are committed to ensuring that our agricultural machines conform to the highest development standards. Our collaboration with CertifAI will enable us to deepen this commitment in future. Quality has underpinned our value proposition for over 100 years. The testing and certification of our AI applications is key to upholding this promise in an AI-driven future."

CertifAI offers a market-leading 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. AI testing and compliance with regulatory and technical requirements are not just statutory requirements for companies; they also provide a competitive advantage by ensuring that all customers can put their trust in the safety and quality of AI products,", says Dr Robert Kilian, CEO of CertifAI.
