Copenhagen, Denmark

The use of AI should not be about saying no, but about saying yes; about opportunities rather than limitations. 2021.AI and Lex Futura share a common vision and mission for society, where compliance is something organisations can realistically achieve – and where regulatory frameworks and governance actively enable innovation rather than constrain it. The focus should be on what is possible, rather than what is not. That is why we have entered into a strategic partnership to ensure that compliance and governance become a competitive advantage rather than a time-consuming paperwork exercise.

Flexible AI setups enable compliance

Already today, many organisations are caught between technological possibilities and regulatory requirements. We see a future where organisations can operate AI solutions both in the cloud and on-premises – depending on regulatory and business needs. This requires creating the necessary flexibility in the AI setup so that legislation and compliance do not slow down the development of AI solutions, but instead provide a safe framework for their use.

If organisations are not continuously aware of the options available, they risk “locking themselves in” to specific solutions or models. In the future, it is crucial that organisations can constantly adapt to the latest technological developments. This enables proactive compliance, where organisations can put more new technology and AI to work without the compliance workload growing at the same pace.

Compliance must not rest on your employees' behaviour alone

Today, organisations rely too heavily on individual employees’ behaviour and judgement in order to remain compliant. This is one of the challenges this partnership aims to help solve. It is the organisation’s responsibility to ensure that the solutions made available to employees are compliant – or that non-compliant use is detected.

Employees should be able to use the tools provided to them with confidence, knowing that the organisation has created a responsible and secure framework for their use of AI. The effect is not only that responsibility is placed where it belongs – with management – but also that the organisation gains a real competitive advantage by giving employees access to compliant, state-of-the-art technology, thereby increasing adoption.

Organisations of all sizes should be able to use technology and AI within the boundaries of what is legally possible, ensuring that the AI we offer employees, citizens, and customers is responsible. With the partnership between 2021.AI and Lex Futura, we look forward to solving this task together.

About 2021.AI

2021.AI is the AI provider for organisations that want to scale AI ambitiously without compromising on security and responsibility. With the GRACE AI Platform, we help both public institutions and private companies retain full ownership of their data and AI – regardless of whether solutions run on-premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid setup.

GRACE brings AI governance, risk management, and operations together in one place and provides a consolidated overview of AI models, use cases, and risks across the organisation. The platform translates complex regulatory and internal requirements into concrete processes, controls, and dashboards that can be used in day-to-day operations and strengthen collaboration across functions and teams.

With a European, governance-first AI platform and practical experience from developing, implementing, and scaling AI, 2021.AI helps organisations realise business value from AI – in a robust, compliant, and responsible way.
