Witty Works

How Witty mitigates compliance risk generated by LLMs like ChatGPT or Copilot in view of the EU AI Act🚀

The European Union’s new AI Act sets high standards for companies using artificial intelligence, emphasizing ethical usage and the need for inclusive, unbiased language. For businesses, the stakes are high: non-compliance could lead to fines, reputational damage, or lost trust. As AI becomes more central to everyday operations, ensuring compliance with regulations like the EU AI Act is critical.

Risks of Non-Compliance with the EU AI Act
⭐Financial Penalties: Companies face fines potentially reaching millions of euros for non-compliance, depending on the risk level of the AI system.
⭐Reputational Damage: AI-generated content with biased or exclusive language can harm brand reputation and lead to a loss of customer trust.
⭐Operational Disruptions: Non-compliance may require costly changes to AI systems, impacting business operations and delaying projects.

In our newest blog post https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0g0hWV0, we summarize how the EU AI Act impacts AI language requirements. Discover how Witty ensures compliance with inclusive language to help your business avoid penalties and enhance brand reputation.

As we look forward to the new year, we’re excited to share what’s next for Witty and what we’re working toward in 2025:

🤖Bringing Witty GPT to more customers: We aim to integrate Witty GPT into your existing LLM tools, making it easier to ensure bias-free and inclusive AI outputs where you write.
🍧Smoother sentence rephrasing: Adapting alternatives to fit into your text can be time-consuming. In 2025, Witty will rephrase entire sentences for you—starting with French in Microsoft Word and expanding to all languages and integrations.
🤩Building a Witty Add-In for Outlook: Since many of you use Outlook daily, we’re working to bring Witty directly into your emails, just like we’ve done for Microsoft Word.
🇪🇸🇮🇹New languages: Italian and Spanish are on our roadmap. Italian, as one of Switzerland’s national languages, is particularly relevant for public offices, and Spanish has been on the wishlist for a while.
📊Introducing benchmarks: We want to help you measure your progress. Wouldn't it be nice to compare your use of inclusive language to industry-wide benchmarks? For example: What are the top 3 non-inclusive words across all Witty users? How do you compare? That's one of our goals for 2025.

We can also change our minds! What would you like to see on our roadmap for 2025?
