Qlik Announces Trust Score for AI in Qlik Talend Cloud

Qlik has announced the general availability of Qlik Trust Score for AI, an industry-leading innovation designed to help organizations assess whether data is truly ready for AI, before it ever reaches a model. Included within Qlik Talend Cloud, the Qlik Trust Score for AI introduces purpose-built scoring across AI-specific dimensions, helping customers establish the data foundations needed for responsible, scalable AI.
As enterprises accelerate AI adoption, many face a fundamental blind spot: they don't know if the data feeding their models is trustworthy or fit for purpose. Qlik Trust Score for AI solves that problem with a single, intuitive score that shows teams where trust breaks down. This helps prevent bias, drift, or faulty outcomes from taking hold.
'Most companies still treat data trust like an IT hygiene issue. It's not. It's the foundation of every AI decision a business makes,' said Drew Clarke, EVP of Product and Technology at Qlik. 'If you can't measure trust, you're gambling with outcomes, compliance, and customer experience. With Qlik Trust Score for AI, we're giving leaders a living signal, not a gut check, that their data is fit for purpose. That's how you close the gap between AI ambition and AI impact.'
Qlik Trust Score for AI builds upon Qlik's original Trust Score framework by introducing three new dimensions purpose-built for AI readiness: Diversity : Measures how representative and balanced the data is, helping to reduce bias in AI training.
: Measures how representative and balanced the data is, helping to reduce bias in AI training. Timeliness : Captures the freshness of data flowing into AI models, ensuring relevance for more accurate decision-making.
: Captures the freshness of data flowing into AI models, ensuring relevance for more accurate decision-making. Accuracy: Flags values that fall outside user-defined business rules or unreliable quality expectations that can erode organizational trust in AI.
Combined with existing metrics like Discoverability and Usage, Qlik Trust Score for AI offers a practical way to validate datasets for use in AI training, RAG pipelines, or intelligent automation, with Security and LLM Readiness dimensions to follow.
As a part of Qlik's vision for data quality and governance for AI initiatives, Qlik is also rolling out additional features, including Qlik Trust Score historization, which allows users to monitor trends over time and correlate shifts in trust with downstream impacts, including model drift or performance degradation.
In addition, Qlik will also roll out an early access program for an AI-native Data Stewardship experience within Qlik Talend Cloud, aimed at proactively detecting and resolving data issues earlier in the lifecycle. Targeted to launch this fall, this capability will combine automated rules, human-in-the-loop workflows, and platform-wide governance. This enables data teams and AI personas to collaborate more effectively on data quality remediation.
'AI initiatives are still stumbling at alarming rates—only a fraction succeed in delivering enterprise-scale value,' said Ritu Jyoti, Group VP/GM, AI, Automation, Data and Analytics at IDC. 'The missing link isn't the model; it's the data. Without visible metrics for data trust, organizations risk costly failures, unchecked bias, and stalled adoption. A unified trust signal like Qlik's Trust Score for AI gives teams the concrete insight they need to make AI reliable and repeatable.'
'Reworld is one of many Qlik customers focused on operationalizing trust in their AI strategy. 'The hardest part of AI is rarely the model. It's trusting the data behind it. In our business, if
we can't stand behind the data, we can't stand behind the decisions,' said Charles Link, Senior Director of Data and Analytics at Reworld. 'A clear, continuous signal that tells you whether data is truly ready for AI creates a new standard. It brings trust out of the shadows and into the conversation, where it belongs.'

Urgent need for 'global approach' on AI regulation: UN tech chief

27 July 2025 08:55 GENEVA (AFP)The world urgently needs to find a global approach on regulating artificial intelligence, the United Nations' top tech chief said this week, warning that fragmentation could deepen risks and Bogdan-Martin, head of the UN's International Telecommunications Union (ITU) agency, told AFP she hoped that AI "can actually benefit humanity".But as concerns mount over the risks posed by the fast-moving technology -- including fears of mass job losses, the spread of deepfakes and disinformation, and society's fabric fraying -- she insisted that regulation was key."There's an urgency to try to get... the right framework in place," she said, stressing the need for "a global approach".Her comments came after US President Donald Trump this week unveiled an aggressive, low-regulation strategy aimed at ensuring the United States stays ahead of China on more than 90 proposals, Trump's plan calls for sweeping deregulation, with the administration promising to "remove red tape and onerous regulation" that could hinder private sector AI if she had concerns about an approach that urges less, not more, regulation of AI technologies, Bogdan-Martin refrained from commenting."I think there are different approaches," she said."We have the EU approach. We have the Chinese approach. Now we're seeing the US approach. I think what's needed is for those approaches to dialogue," she the same time, she highlighted that "85 percent of countries don't yet have AI policies or strategies".A consistent theme among those strategies that do exist is the focus on innovation, capacity building and infrastructure investments, Bogdan-Martin said."But where I think the debate still needs to happen at a global level is trying to figure out how much regulation, how little regulation, is needed," she who grew up in New Jersey and has spent most of her more than three-decade career at the ITU, insisted the Geneva-based telecoms agency that sets standards for new technologies was well-placed to help facilitate much-needed dialogue on the issue."The need for a global approach I think is critical," she said, cautioning that "fragmented approaches will not help serve and reach all".The ITU chief hailed "mind-blowing" advances within artificial intelligence, with the potential to improve everything from education to agriculture to health care -- but insisted the benefits must be a concerted effort, there is a risk that AI will end up standing for "advancing inequalities", she warned, cautioning against deepening an already dire digital divide worldwide."We have 2.6 billion people that have no access to the internet, which means they have no access to artificial intelligence", Bogdan-Martin pointed out."We have to tackle those divides if we're actually going to have something that is beneficial to all of humanity." Bogdan-Martin, the first woman to serve as ITU secretary-general in the organisation's nearly 160-year history, also stressed the need to get more women into the digital space.
