Abstract:	Certifying the trustworthiness of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based systems based on dimensions including reliability and transparency is crucial given their increased uptake. Likewise, as regulatory requirements are established, actionable guidelines for certification will be useful for developers and certification bodies to ensure trustworthiness of AI. Here, we present an ongoing effort to develop a validated AI certification scheme which is a framework for assessing the trustworthiness of AI systems including specific objectives with their corresponding means of compliance (i.e. process, documentation or technical methods). Importantly, the scheme makes an explicit link between legal requirements and validated techniques for assessing the compliance of AI systems, resulting in the implementation of a workflow to support AI certification. We explain the rationale for developing the certification scheme and demonstrate the assessment of an example use case with a concrete workflow traversing from objectives to corresponding means, focused on reliability and transparency.
