On February 4, Trustible and Leidos announced a partnership to redefine AI governance through automation, demonstrating in initial engagements the ability to compress AI governance processes from weeks into hours—and in some cases minutes—while maintaining rigorous oversight and control.
AI governance refers to how organizations put guardrails around the use of AI. Making sure systems are reviewed, approved, and monitored so leaders understand how they work, what risks they carry, and when they are ready to be used. It helps ensure AI is deployed responsibly, with transparency, accountability, and alignment to legal, ethical, and mission needs.
Built on Leidos’ AI that has been deployed in real-world missions over decades, the collaboration focuses on removing friction from AI adoption while maintaining accountability. By combining Trustible’s automated AI governance platform with Leidos’ experience building agentic capabilities at scale in national missions, the initiative helps agencies unlock innovation while managing AI risk.
As government agencies respond to new federal directives calling for accelerated AI alongside strong oversight, the need for governance that enables progress has become increasingly clear. The collaboration with Trustible helps operationalize governance through automation, enabling agencies to move from policy to practice more efficiently. At its core, the approach aims to ensure AI governance is outcome-driven—supporting real mission results as well as compliance.
“AI governance can’t be a manual, after-the-fact process—especially as agencies begin to adopt more autonomous and agentic systems,” said Gerald Kierce, co-founder and CEO of Trustible. “Working with Leidos, we’re using automation to streamline governance from the start—reducing friction, strengthening control, and helping agencies deploy AI faster while maintaining the oversight and risk management their missions demand.”
