AI Verify: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

AI Verify is an open-source testing framework and toolkit for AI governance, developed by the AI Verify Foundation. It tests AI systems against internationally recognised principles for trustworthy AI and records the results in reports. Project Moonshot, from the same foundation, is a modular tool for evaluating and red-teaming large language models and LLM-based applications; the project itself describes Moonshot as being in beta. Both are Python software under the Apache 2.0 licence and run on your own infrastructure. They are meant for organisations that want to test and document AI systems before deployment, as an alternative to commercial AI red-teaming and AI-assurance platforms.

The AI Verify Foundation is a Singapore-based not-for-profit company wholly owned by Singapore's Infocommunications Media Development Authority (IMDA). The project therefore sits outside EU and US jurisdiction. Because the tools run locally, test data and model outputs stay in your own environment; the foundation does not operate a cloud service for them. The Apache 2.0 licence allows inspection, modification and internal use without a vendor relationship.

Why digital sovereignty matters with AI Verify

AI Verify is headquartered in SG, outside the EU. Contracts and data therefore also fall under non-European law. The GDPR applies through contractual terms, but in a conflict with local legislation you have less certainty than with a European vendor.

AI Verify hosts data outside the EU (OTHER). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

AI Verify is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs AI Verify together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
