What is Glass Box AI and how does it differ from black-box AI?

Glass Box AI is CRT's approach to explainable artificial intelligence built into CORA AI Suptech Platform. Unlike black-box AI systems where decision logic is opaque, Glass Box AI provides complete reasoning trails, full auditability, and transparent decision paths for every AI-generated output. This means financial regulators can trace exactly how and why the AI reached a specific risk assessment, compliance finding, or early warning signal — a critical requirement for supervisory accountability and EU AI Act compliance.

It includes agentic AI validation, automated Basel III ICAAP and Solvency II ORSA assessments, predictive risk analytics, natural language processing for regulatory documents, and multi-framework compliance analysis. The engine learns from supervisory patterns while maintaining Glass Box AI transparency.

What deployment options does CORA AI Suptech Platform offer?

CORA AI Suptech Platform offers fully sovereign, on-premise deployment within the regulator's own infrastructure — ensuring zero cloud dependency and complete data sovereignty. This means sensitive supervisory data never leaves the jurisdiction. CRT also offers the AI Factory Sovereign program, which provides dedicated NVIDIA H200 GPU infrastructure for regulators who need sovereign AI processing capabilities with up to 8-year hardware warranty and 24/7 managed services.

What is AI Factory Sovereign by CRT?

AI Factory Sovereign is CRT's dedicated AI infrastructure program that provides central banks and regulators with sovereign, on-premise NVIDIA H200 GPU hardware for running CORA's AI models.

This ensures regulators maintain complete control over their AI infrastructure without relying on third-party cloud providers.

What is the 4-tier architecture of CORA AI Suptech Platform?

CORA AI Suptech Platform uses a progressive 4-tier architecture: Tier 1 (Core Regulatory Functions) covers licensing, reporting, and compliance management. Tier 2 (Process Automation) adds workflow automation and document processing. Tier 3 (Data Governance & BI) provides enterprise data management, analytics dashboards, and business intelligence. Tier 4 (AI Cognitive Engine) delivers the full Cognitive Supervisory Engine with Glass Box AI, predictive analytics, and automated risk assessments. Regulators can adopt tiers progressively based on their maturity level.

Is CORA AI Suptech Platform compliant with the EU AI Act?

Yes, CORA AI Suptech Platform is designed for EU AI Act compliance. Its Glass Box AI architecture provides the transparency, explainability, and auditability required by the regulation. Every AI-generated decision includes a full reasoning trail, enabling regulators to meet the EU AI Act's requirements for high-risk AI systems used in financial supervision. CRT also holds ISO 27001:2022 certification for information security management.
