Ottawa, Canada – August 5, 2025 — NuEnergy.ai, a leader in operational AI governance and responsible AI assessments, has enhanced its flagship Machine Trust Index (MTI) on its Machine Trust Platform by introducing a new AI Sovereignty trust category. This strategic enhancement allows organizations to evaluate and strengthen their oversight and control over the origin, infrastructure, data, and governance of the AI systems they adopt.
“Today, in Canada, and globally, AI trust extends across the entire supply chain. As leaders in operational AI governance and AI trust measurement, we have added tangible metrics to bring visibility to AI Sovereignty. Our initial deployment of this set of metrics is with the Government of Canada, but it’s designed for applicability across all enterprises developing or adopting AI.” announced Niraj Bhargava, CEO, NuEnergy.ai
With this innovation, NuEnergy.ai’s platform, methodologies and AI Trust Faculty of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) can report on sovereignty metrics and propose mitigations for foreign dependency risks. The metrics are configurable to unique elements of client organizations, stakeholders, governance and AI Use cases.
Bhargava continues, “As our world adapts to sustained geopolitical shifts and differentiated values, Canada has a unique opportunity to establish depth in its leadership in AI governance both domestically and globally. With growing global trade restrictions, foreign technology dependencies, and evolving national security concerns, ensuring AI trust is no longer optional — it’s a strategic necessity as well as a driver for productivity and ethical prosperity. By introducing the AI Sovereignty category within our Machine Trust Index, NuEnergy.ai is helping organizations build trust, understand their exposures and mitigate risks before they escalate.”
