Responsible AI Advisor (RAIA) is an innovative solution developed by Version 1’s AI Labs in collaboration with the International AI Governance Association (IAGA). As the pace of AI regulation accelerates globally, organisations find it increasingly difficult to keep pace with international AI law and regulation. From the EU AI Act to emerging policies in the United States, Brazil, Singapore, Japan and China, the AI landscape is becoming more complex. This leaves many organisations unsure how to innovate responsibly, avoiding both regulatory and reputational risk. RAIA was created to assist in reducing this barrier, helping organisations find a clear, confident path through global AI governance.

Using powerful AI capabilities in a simple and accessible way, RAIA helps users quickly understand the obligations that apply to them, and how those requirements impact their specific AI projects. Users can begin by asking broad questions, such as the essentials of the EU AI Act or how global approaches to transparency differ. RAIA provides clear, easy-to-understand explanations, backed by authoritative sources.

As a user describes the AI system they are developing, RAIA automatically identifies the relevant regulations for their region and use case, then generates a tailored set of compliance considerations. Users can upload documentation, review personalised guidance, and receive practical recommendations that help them make informed, responsible decisions.

RAIA as an Intelligent Companion

RAIA acts as a single, intelligent companion for navigating global AI regulation, dramatically reducing the effort and uncertainty associated with compliance. It empowers teams to test ideas early, understand potential risks, and build trust from the very beginning of their AI journey. By turning dense legislation into straightforward, actionable insight, RAIA transforms responsible AI from a challenge into a strategic advantage, helping organisations innovate confidently and transparently.
