Artificial intelligence is everywhere—but customers are no longer impressed by capability alone. They’re asking a far more important question:

Is this AI solution appropriate for my use case?

In this episode, we break down Verification, Validation, and Accreditation (VV&A) and why it has become a critical standard for evaluating modern tech solutions, particularly AI-enhanced systems used in high-consequence environments like government, defense, healthcare, and regulated industries.

We explore:

• Why “it works” is no longer sufficient for AI adoption
• How customers are shifting responsibility back to vendors to prove fitness for purpose
• The difference between building a technically sound system and one that is decision-ready
• How VV&A reframes trust, risk, and accountability for AI and advanced analytics
• What happens when solutions are deployed without clear verification, validation, or authorization

As AI increasingly influences operational, financial, and life-impacting decisions, credibility—not novelty—has become the differentiator. This conversation explains why organizations that understand and apply VV&A principles will win trust, contracts, and long-term adoption—while others struggle to defend their technology choices.

Whether you’re a technology provider, government buyer, program manager, or executive navigating AI integration, this episode will change how you think about what it means for a solution to be “ready” for real-world use.
