AI Ethics & EU AI Act Transparency Statement

Document / 02

TauGuard Limited designs and operates TauDIL, described as deterministic AI governance infrastructure for high-risk AI systems. TauGuard states that its approach is aligned with the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) and the OECD AI Principles.

1. Our Commitment to Ethical AI

TauGuard is committed to the development, deployment and oversight of artificial intelligence in a lawful, ethical, transparent and accountable manner.

Governance is embedded before execution, rather than applied retrospectively. The stated principle is that AI systems affecting people and organisations should be controllable, auditable and accountable by design.

2. Core Ethical Principles

Human Agency and Oversight

Systems are designed to support meaningful human oversight throughout the AI lifecycle, including the ability to intervene, override or halt automated decisions before they take effect.

Transparency and Explainability

TauGuard provides documentation describing how its governance infrastructure operates, the logic applied to AI decision-making controls and the limitations of automated systems.

Fairness and Non-Discrimination

TauGuard states that it designs and tests its infrastructure to identify and mitigate bias and supports clients in conducting fairness assessments across AI systems governed through TauDIL.

Accountability and Traceability

Governance decisions, control activations and policy enforcement actions within TauDIL are logged, time-stamped and auditable, providing a verifiable chain of accountability.

Safety, Security and Robustness

The infrastructure undergoes ongoing risk assessment and testing for resilience against misuse, manipulation and unintended behaviour, with reference to recognised AI risk management frameworks including ISO/IEC 42001 and ISO/IEC 23894.

Data Governance and Privacy

Personal data processed in connection with the services is handled in accordance with GDPR and applicable Irish data protection law, applying data minimisation, purpose limitation and security-by-design principles.

3. EU AI Act Transparency Notice

TauGuard provides the following transparency information regarding the AI governance infrastructure offered through TauDIL.

Nature of the System

TauDIL is a governance and control layer intended to support organisations deploying or operating high-risk AI systems. TauDIL itself does not make autonomous decisions about individuals; it enforces pre-defined governance rules, controls and policy gates over third-party AI systems.

Risk Classification

TauGuard supports clients in classifying and documenting the risk level of AI systems governed through TauDIL in line with the risk categories defined under the EU AI Act. Each deployment is assessed individually by the deploying organisation, supported by TauDIL's governance documentation.

Human Oversight Measures

  • Mandatory human review checkpoints before high-risk actions are executed.
  • Configurable override and stop controls accessible to authorised personnel.
  • Audit logs available for regulatory inspection and internal review.

Provider Information

Provider: TauGuard Limited, registered in Ireland under Company Registration Number (CRO) 817527.

4. Continuous Review

This statement is reviewed periodically to reflect evolving regulatory requirements, including future implementing acts and guidance issued under the EU AI Act, as well as updates to TauGuard's internal governance and risk management framework.

Questions regarding this statement, AI governance practices, or rights under applicable data protection or AI legislation may be directed to TauGuard Limited through the contact details provided on the Website.
