Telefónica Tech signs an agreement with Openlayer to strengthen responsible AI governance

We have signed a commercial agreement with Openlayer, an advanced platform for the governance, evaluation, and observability of AI systems, with the aim of strengthening our value proposition in the development of responsible, traceable artificial intelligence solutions that comply with current regulations.

Openlayer enables us to test, monitor, and control machine learning and generative AI models throughout their entire lifecycle, helping organisations comply with frameworks such as the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, and NIST. The platform includes key features such as pre-deployment testing, real-time monitoring, data quality control and automatic generation of audit evidence, in both cloud and on-premises environments.

This partnership will enable us to integrate Openlayer’s technology into our AI and data services, combining it with our consulting, integration and managed operations capabilities. This will allow us to offer our customers end-to-end AI solutions, from model design and development to ongoing governance.

Key benefits for our customers include accelerated regulatory compliance, reduced legal and reputational risks, improved model quality and reliability, and cost optimisation through the automation of testing and documentation. This agreement reinforces our commitment to secure, transparent, and responsible AI, aligned with the needs of the most heavily regulated sectors and the evolving European regulatory framework.
