Credo AI named No. 6 in Applied AI on Fast Company's world's Most Innovative Companies of 2026. Fast Company recognized Credo AI among 720 honorees across 59 sectors worldwide, alongside Google, Open AI, Anthropic, Adidas, and Walmart. March 24, 2026 Tara Shankar Jana Credo AI was founded on a conviction that felt both obvious and radical: if AI is going to transform business, trust has to be built into that transformation from the start. Not bolted on afterward. Built in, from day one, at every layer of the organization. Fast Company's decision to rank Credo AI No. 6 in Applied AI reflects something bigger than any single company: the category of AI governance is accelerating. It's a competitive capability and differentiation. And the enterprises investing in it now are the ones that will deploy AI boldly and responsibly as the landscape accelerates. "When we started Credo AI, our conviction was simple: if AI is going to transform business, trust has to be built into that transformation from the start. The Fast Company Most Innovative Companies award celebrates innovation that is not only bold, but consequential. We're working with the world's leading enterprises and helping them embrace a new reality - trustworthy AI governance is what enables scale, speed, and confidence. This recognition reflects the criticality of the category, our customers leading the way, our unparalleled partner ecosystem and the Credo AI team working at the frontier every day to make trusted AI possible. As AI agents reshape what's possible, the organizations that can govern them with rigor and confidence will be the ones that lead and reap the economic and business benefits. That is the opportunity we are building toward." - Navrina Singh, Founder and CEO, Credo AI Six years of building for the hardest problem in enterprise AI. Credo AI founded in 2020, when enterprise AI was mostly predictive ML: credit scoring, fraud detection, recommendation engines. The governance problem was already real, but the tooling was entirely manual. Credo AI built the first platform purpose-built for that complexity, adaptive to the accelerating AI capabilities and meeting the customers where they were in their AI journey - Fortune 500 organizations adopted it fast. Then GenAI changed the scale of the challenge entirely. Suddenly every employee had access to AI, and enterprises lost visibility overnight. Shadow AI exploded. Credo AI responded with industry-first GenAI guardrails and third-party AI registries, helping customers regain control as the landscape accelerated beneath them. The agentic era is a different problem again. AI agents are autonomous: they make decisions, take actions, and interact with other agents without human intervention. The governance challenge is fundamentally unlike anything that came before. Credo AI's answer is the Govern AI Assistant, which brings intelligent, scalable oversight to agentic deployments at enterprise scale. PLATFORM EVOLUTION 2020-2023 - Foundation First-to-market AI governance platform for ML risk. Automated evidence, policy engine, adopted by Fortune 500 pioneers. 2024-2025 - Expansion Industry-first GenAI guardrails, third-party AI Registry, Forrester Wave Leader with 12 Perfect Scores. 2026+ - Agentic Era Govern AI Assistant, Agent Registry, runtime governanc. Measurable trust for autonomous AI at enterprise scale. Credo AI's growing roster of Global 2000 customers includes Mastercard, PepsiCo, Cisco, Autodesk, and Chevron, organizations operating AI at massive scale across financial services, healthcare, insurance, energy, government, and retail. These aren't experimental deployments. These are mission-critical systems where AI decisions carry real consequences. What these organizations share: they can't afford to get AI wrong, and they've found that governance done right is an accelerant to their AI transformation. The ability to prove an AI system is trustworthy is what unlocks the confidence to move faster. GLOBAL 2000 CUSTOMERS AND PARTNERS Mastercard, PepsiCo, Cisco, Autodesk, Chevron, Microsoft, IBM, Databricks, McKinsey, Booz Allen What the platform actually does. The Credo AI platform is the centralized control plane for enterprise AI governance. It connects across every AI system in an organization - models, agents, applications, and datasets - and delivers continuous oversight simultaneously. PLATFORM CAPABILITIES Policy Intelligence Engine Automated policy packs aligned to EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and SOC 2. Organizations stop building compliance from scratch and operate against a live, maintained framework instead. AI Registry and Discovery Full visibility across every model, agent, and third-party AI system in the organization. The registry auto-discovers, catalogs, and continuously monitors the entire AI portfolio. Shadow AI can't hide. Govern AI Assistant An AI-powered governance assistant that transforms intake from hours to minutes, surfaces risks intelligently, and scales human oversight across thousands of AI systems without burning out governance teams. Runtime Governance for Agentic AI Real-time observability and trace-level policy enforcement for autonomous agents. The first governance platform built to keep pace with agentic AI as it actually operates. Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies list isn't about the boldest ideas. It's about measurable impact. Being recognized in Applied AI - not just 'enterprise software' or 'compliance tech' - is a signal about how the market is beginning to understand AI governance: not as a regulatory burden, but as applied infrastructure for safe, scalable deployment. The enterprises that govern AI well are the ones positioned to deploy it fastest, with the least risk, and the greatest confidence. That is the case Credo AI has been making for six years. Fast Company's recognition suggests the market has arrived at the same conclusion. "The companies we honor this year are redefining what leadership looks like in 2026, pairing bold ideas with measurable impact and turning breakthrough innovation into real-world value. They are setting the pace for their industries and offering a blueprint for what sustained innovation can achieve." - Brendan Vaughan, Editor-in-Chief, Fast Company What's coming in 2026. The Govern AI Assistant moves to General Availability in 2026. The agent registry is expanding to handle the full complexity of multi-agent networks. The partner ecosystem is deepening across Microsoft Azure, IBM watsonx, Databricks, and 30+ partners aligned around a shared conviction: AI at enterprise scale requires governance at enterprise scale. The regulatory environment is accelerating in parallel. The EU AI Act is in force. NIST AI RMF is updating. Emerging agentic AI frameworks are taking shape globally. The organizations that build governance capability now will be the ones that can move decisively when requirements become mandatory. ABOUT CREDO AI Credo AI is the leading AI governance platform purpose-built for the enterprise. The company helps Global 2000 organizations manage AI risk, enforce compliance with the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and internal policy, and deploy AI with confidence at scale. Credo AI is a Forrester Wave Leader with 12 Perfect Scores, a Fast Company Most Innovative Company (No. 6 in Applied AI, 2026), a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer, and a Gartner Cool Vendor.

G42 joins forces with Credo AI to advance Responsible AI adoption across Global South. * Business Wire * Feb 20, 2026 NEW DELHI-(BUSINESS WIRE)-Feb 20, 2026- G42, the Abu Dhabi-based global technology group and Responsible AI champion, and Credo AI, a leader in AI governance and trustworthy AI solutions, today announced a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to advance Responsible AI across the Global South. The agreement was signed on the sidelines of the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi, bringing together world leaders, policymakers, innovators, and industry leaders focused on translating AI progress into real-world outcomes. As AI adoption accelerates globally, both organizations share a conviction that Responsible AI must move beyond principle-based commitments toward operational practice, particularly in regions characterized by diverse regulatory environments, institutional capacities, and societal priorities. As such, the MoU reflects a shared leadership perspective on how Responsible AI can be scaled, adapted, and embedded as a core principle across emerging markets. "AI innovation and AI governance must advance together," said Dr. Andrew Jackson, Group Chief AI Officer at G42. "When trust is engineered into the system from the start, innovation accelerates, deployment is smoother and adoption happens faster at scale. Building on G42's experience of deploying AI at a national and global scale, this partnership with Credo AI is about accelerating trusted AI so innovation can move faster, adoption can be responsible, and AI can deliver meaningful impact across economies and societies." "Enterprises scaling AI need more than ambition - they need speed with control, and governance they can measure," said Navrina Singh, CEO of Credo AI. "Our partnership with G42 gives organizations across the Middle East and Global South the capability to deploy AI faster, govern it at scale, and turn responsible adoption into genuine competitive advantage. This matters even more as AI becomes agentic. When your AI is making autonomous decisions, the enterprises that govern it best will be the ones that deploy it furthest and fastest." Over the years, G42 has demonstrated its leadership through initiatives such as the establishment of the Responsible AI Future Foundation, launched with Microsoft, its Frontier AI Safety Framework, and participation in global efforts including the Frontier AI Safety Commitments, the WEF AI Governance Alliance, and the Bletchley Declaration. G42 has also issued its Responsible AI Transparency Report and Responsible AI Compendium, demonstrating how its commitment to trusted, secure AI is put into practice.

The collaboration will consider the design of practical governance frameworks, risk monitoring tools, and education programs that empower policymakers and professionals to put responsible AI into action.

Introducing Shadow AI Discovery: bringing visibility to your enterprise AI landscape. Credo AI introduces its Shadow AI Discovery offering, a powerful new capability designed to provide comprehensive visibility into AI usage across your enterprise. Organizations today face an unprecedented challenge: as AI adoption accelerates across every department and team, the majority of AI usage remains invisible to governance, security, and compliance teams. This "Shadow AI", the unauthorized or ungoverned use of AI tools, creates significant blind spots that expose enterprises to security breaches, compliance violations, and reputational damage. Credo.AI Corp. is excited to announce Credo AI's Shadow AI Discovery offering, a powerful new capability designed to provide comprehensive visibility into AI usage across your enterprise while enabling responsible innovation. The Shadow AI challenge. Shadow AI has emerged as one of the most pressing concerns for enterprise leaders. Employees frequently access AI tools that haven't undergone proper review and approval processes, often with the best intentions of improving productivity and innovation. However, this creates substantial risks: * Security vulnerabilities: Sensitive data, including proprietary information and personally identifiable information (PII), may be exposed through unsanctioned AI tools * Compliance gaps: Unauthorized AI usage can lead to violations of regulations like GDPR and industry-specific mandates * Operational risks: Ungoverned AI tools may produce unreliable outputs that compromise decision-making quality * Audit challenges: Meeting regulatory requirements becomes nearly impossible without comprehensive visibility into AI usage The rapid proliferation of AI tools has made manual tracking virtually impossible. IT and security teams struggle to keep pace with the constant emergence of new AI capabilities, even within existing approved platforms. A new approach to AI visibility. Credo AI's Shadow AI Discovery offering addresses these challenges through an innovative approach that balances governance with innovation. Rather than simply restricting AI usage, its solution empowers organizations to: Gain comprehensive visibility. Its platform automatically detects and catalogs AI tools being used across your enterprise, providing real-time insights into: * Which AI applications and vendors are actively in use * How AI is being utilized across departments and by individual users * Usage patterns and trends that inform strategic decision-making Classify and prioritize risks. Not all AI usage carries the same level of risk. Its solution provides risk classification that helps you: * Identify high-risk AI usage requiring immediate attention * Understand which tools pose compliance challenges * Prioritize governance efforts based on actual risk levels Enable responsible innovation. By providing visibility without unnecessarily restricting access, organizations can: * Foster AI adoption while maintaining security standards * Create clear pathways for approved AI usage * Build a culture of responsible AI innovation * Accelerate time-to-value from AI investments Bridging the gap to comprehensive governance. Shadow AI Discovery serves as both a standalone solution and a strategic entry point to comprehensive AI governance. For organizations just beginning their AI governance journey, it provides immediate value through visibility and risk awareness. For those with mature governance programs, it ensures no AI usage flies under the radar. The platform integrates seamlessly with existing security infrastructure, including Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems and other enterprise tools. This enables organizations to leverage their current investments while adding AI-specific intelligence and governance capabilities. Meeting today's urgent needs. As audit requirements intensify and regulatory frameworks evolve, organizations need solutions that can deliver immediate value. Shadow AI Discovery addresses several critical needs: For Security Leaders: Gain the visibility needed to protect against data leakage, identify security vulnerabilities, and ensure AI usage aligns with security policies. For Compliance Teams: Generate comprehensive reports demonstrating AI usage oversight, meet audit requirements, and maintain regulatory compliance. For AI Governance Leaders: Establish a foundation for enterprise-wide AI governance, identify gaps in current governance coverage, and prioritize resources effectively. For Executive Leadership: Understand the true scope of AI adoption, make informed decisions about AI investments, and balance innovation with risk management. The path forward. Shadow AI Discovery represents a fundamental shift in how organizations approach AI governance. Rather than viewing ungoverned AI usage as a problem to eliminate, Credo.AI Corp. see it as an opportunity to understand how teams are leveraging AI to drive value, and then provide the governance frameworks to do so safely. Getting started. The journey to comprehensive AI governance begins with understanding what's actually happening in your environment. Shadow AI Discovery provides that crucial first step, delivering immediate insights while laying the groundwork for sustained, responsible AI adoption. As AI continues to transform how Credo.AI Corp. work, the question isn't whether to adopt AI, it's how to do so responsibly. Shadow AI Discovery ensures you have the visibility and control needed to harness AI's potential while managing its risks. Ready to illuminate your AI landscape? Contact Credo.AI Corp. to learn more about how Shadow AI Discovery can help your organization balance innovation with governance, turning shadow AI from a risk into an opportunity for strategic advantage.
