Leidos, a leading global technology company providing solutions to the defense, intelligence, and government sectors, has partnered with Trustible, a company that provides automated AI governance solutions, to launch a collaboration that aims to reinvent AI governance through agentic automation. The purpose of this partnership is to solve the long-standing issue of ensuring strict governance of advanced AI systems without hindering innovation.

Why it matters

The Defense Technology sector uses AI more and more to improve mission effectiveness in areas like autonomous systems, intelligence analysis, logistics, simulation, and force projection. However, this sector must follow strict rules on compliance, ethics, and security. The Leidos-Trustible initiative addresses a critical need at the intersection of these demands by scaling AI adoption while maintaining accountability, supporting compliance with evolving standards, and enabling mission-focused innovation.

The details

Through this initiative, Trustible's automated AI governance platform is being integrated with Leidos' AI development and agentic capabilities. Early demos showed that governance processes, once taking weeks, can now be done in hours or even minutes, depending on the system's complexity and risk profile. The goal is to shift governance to be outcome-driven, focusing on more than just checking boxes, and to enable transparent, accountable, and secure AI results.
