Our Mission

Why we exist

Warden AI was founded by Jeffrey Pole and Eduard Schikurski with a clear belief: systems that shape people’s careers must be subject to meaningful accountability.

Our mission is to accelerate the responsible adoption of AI in HR by certifying systems for fairness and compliance. We do this through real-time auditing that makes fairness and compliance measurable, visible, and continuously monitored.

Drawing on experience building regulation technology in Europe, our founding team understands how trust and oversight can unlock innovation. We've brought that experience into HR as one of the highest-stakes arenas for AI.

“In a noisy market where the bar for AI accountability is still pretty low, a directory of vendors willing to have their systems independently monitored is a big step in the right direction.”
