Interview with Brad Mallard (Version 1): Embedding Trusted AI in High-Stakes Industries

As AI adoption accelerates across critical sectors, Version 1 and Credo AI have partnered to help organizations build trust into every stage of the AI lifecycle. In this conversation, Brad Mallard (CTO, Version 1) and Navrina Singh (Founder & CEO, Credo AI) explore the growing demand for AI governance across healthcare, financial services, and the public sector.

Brad shares how Version 1 is using Credo AI internally and with clients to move from reactive risk management to proactive, measurable governance. From launching a dedicated AI governance service offering to helping clients navigate the rise of generative and agentic AI, Version 1 is operationalizing trust where it matters most.

Together, they reflect on what responsible AI means in high-risk domains, the evolving regulatory landscape, and how organizations can turn governance into a strategic advantage.
