Trustworthy AI Maturity Model (TAIMM)

The Trustworthy AI Maturity Model (TAIMM) translates EU AI Act obligations into clear lifecycle questionnaires so research teams, public bodies, and industry can evidence their governance supporting international AI management system standards such as ISO/IEC 42001.

Scores use the 0-4 maturity scale anchored to EU AI Act obligations and informed by ISO/IEC 42001 lifecycle controls.

Developed by researchers at the ADAPT Centre, University of Galway.

Structured support for compliance teams

Lifecycle coverage

Design, development, and operation questionnaires benchmark progress against Trustworthy AI principles.

Evidence capture

Each response includes a short comment box to document rationale, references, or links to artefacts.

Printable outputs

Results summarise overall maturity, stage-level scores, and action notes for governance follow-up.

Trustworthy AI Maturity Model

TAIMM translates EU AI Act obligations and the Commission's Trustworthy AI principles into structured questionnaires for Design, Development, and Operation. Participants capture evidence inline, lock scoring when complete, and export printable governance packs.

Lifecycle-aligned: Design, Development, Operation surveys plus AI system context.
Evidence-ready: comment prompts, ISO/IEC mappings, and audit trail.
Secure access: activation keys, autosave, and optional researcher debriefs.

About TAIMM

The TAIMM study examines how organisations operationalise the Trustworthy AI principles across the AI lifecycle. It is conducted by Louise McCormack as part of doctoral research through the ADAPT Centre at the University of Galway.

The instrument aligns each question with EU AI Act recitals and the Commission’s seven Trustworthy AI requirements. Findings support evidence-led governance frameworks for public and private sector deployments.

Assessment workspace

Organisation: —

Please complete these assessments for the AI system you wish to evaluate. Once finished, you will receive a printable Trustworthy AI report for that system. Each activation key is linked to a single AI system and its corresponding set of surveys. If you need to complete the process for additional AI systems, please contact [email protected] to request another activation key.

Scoring focus

Choose whether you are documenting maturity as the AI provider, AI deployer, or for the full system.

Full system (default) Capture provider + deployer · 0-8 points/question

Provider only Assess lifecycle controls owned by the AI provider · 0-4 points/question

Deployer only Assess operational controls owned by the AI deployer · 0-4 points/question

Full system scoring records both provider and deployer maturity (each 0-4) before calculating results.
