HCLTech, Inspeq AI partner to advance responsible AI in enterprises

Inspeq AI, an Irish-Indian technology firm  has announced a strategic alliance with HCLTech to foster Responsible AI (RAI) development in enterprise applications worldwide. As the youngest company to partner with HCLTech, Inspeq AI will integrate its Responsible AI Operations (RAIops) platform into HCLTech’s existing frameworks, aligning with widely used toolchains such as MSFT Co-Pilot, AWS Bedrock, and other enterprise applications.

This collaboration aims to support enterprises in navigating complex AI integration by applying the five pillars of Responsible AI—Fairness, Robustness, Explainability, Privacy, and Transparency. By embedding the RAIops platform into core business functions, HCLTech and Inspeq AI offer organisations across sectors a streamlined path to responsible AI deployment. This setup is particularly valuable in high-stakes industries like financial services, where RAIops helps mitigate challenges in credit risk management, underwriting, fraud detection, and compliance, enhancing the accuracy and accountability of AI operations.

Apoorva Kumar, CEO of Inspeq AI, highlighted the impact of this partnership, stating, “We are immensely proud to partner with HCLTech to bring Inspeq's RAIops platform to leading global enterprises. This alliance is a significant step in advancing AI safety and performance on a global scale to protect and enhance enterprise brands.”

Through this alliance, the two companies will accelerate enterprise-grade GenAI solutions, enabling clients to build trustworthy AI systems that adhere to industry and regulatory standards like the EU AI Act. Inspeq AI's platform provides advanced metrics and benchmarks—based on 50 research-backed metrics and over 20,000 datasets—ensuring a compliant development lifecycle that prioritises data security and privacy, resulting in a 90% reduction in security risks and an 80% increase in model accuracy.

Founded in 2023, Inspeq AI has already demonstrated rapid growth and credibility, raising USD 1.1 million in pre-Series A funding led by Sure Valley Ventures. Inspeq’s RAIops platform promises to expedite AI-driven app development by up to four times, while lowering associated costs by up to 70%, making it a valuable asset for enterprises looking to deploy AI at scale responsibly.

The partnership between HCLTech and Inspeq AI marks a notable advancement in the global AI landscape, positioning both companies at the forefront of responsible and compliant AI development for diverse enterprise needs.
