en.Wedoany.com Reported - On May 6, 2026, data intelligence platform Collibra simultaneously announced the launch of the AI Command Center in New York and Brussels, providing real-time automated control for agentic AI systems and extending AI governance from policy-making to the execution layer of engineers' continuous integration and delivery pipelines. The company also announced a strategic partnership with French AI testing startup Giskard, embedding LLM security testing capabilities directly into the governance control plane.
Collibra CEO Felix Van de Maele used the term "hallucination tax" to summarize the hidden costs enterprises currently face: "Almost every enterprise is paying the price for AI agent hallucinations, but no one has calculated this bill. The AI Command Center eliminates this tax, giving organizations real-time visibility, continuous control capabilities, and the confidence to operate at the actual speed of AI."
Van de Maele's assessment is supported by data. A recent survey released by Collibra in partnership with Harris Poll shows that 91% of enterprise technology decision-makers are experimenting with AI agents, but less than half have successfully established governance policies. This means a large number of agents in production environments lack clear ownership, behavioral traceability, and accountability when issues arise. Against this backdrop, the AI Command Center is defined as a unified control plane, enabling enterprises to inventory deployed AI agents, monitor their behavior and decision paths in real-time, detect drift where agents deviate from preset parameters, and intervene before governance or security failures escalate into incidents. Over 40 large enterprises participated in the platform's private preview.
The AI Command Center offers out-of-the-box assessment templates aligned with the AI UC-1 compliance standard, helping enterprises score AI agents based on risk level, compliance readiness, and operational suitability. This standardized framework directly addresses regulators, auditors, and enterprise risk committees, providing a referenceable standard for compliance work in an environment of increasing AI usage density.
The strategic partnership with Giskard is a key component of this launch. Giskard was founded in France in 2021 by Alex Combessie, Andrey Avtomonov, and Jean-Marie John-Mathews, focusing on the safety and quality testing of large language models and AI agents, with clients including major enterprises like AXA, BNP Paribas, and Michelin. Its automated red-teaming platform continuously generates complex attack scenarios to discover security vulnerabilities. The platform is also collaborating with Google DeepMind to develop Phare, a multilingual safety benchmark, and has received strategic investments from the European Commission and the French public investment bank Bpifrance.
This integration embeds Giskard's testing capabilities directly into the Collibra governance layer, allowing AI engineers to execute LLM hallucination detection, security scanning, and vulnerability testing within their development pipelines and receive feedback before deployment. Giskard Co-founder and co-CEO Alex Combessie noted: "Enterprise AI leaders need both top-down governance on how agents are built and bottom-up testing that operationalizes these governance policies directly into the AI engineers' CI/CD pipelines. This is exactly the capability Giskard and Collibra are now delivering together—governance truly reaching the execution layer where AI risk resides."
In terms of intelligent data and AI governance, Collibra simultaneously expanded the capabilities of its MCP Server, injecting trusted metadata and business context into AI workflows in real-time, enabling agents to process information based on curated, compliance-ready data rather than directly accessing uncontrolled data sources. The company stated that over 100 customers are already using the MCP Server for context-aware AI and maintaining a continuous market presence on the Databricks Marketplace.
Headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, and New York, USA, Collibra is a global enterprise in the field of unified data and AI governance. Its Data Intelligence Cloud platform integrates data catalog, data lineage, flexible governance, continuous quality control, and built-in privacy features. It has been recognized as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data and AI Governance Platforms for two consecutive years. The launch of the AI Command Center and the partnership with Giskard mark Collibra's strategic advancement from traditional data governance to an end-to-end enterprise AI control layer.
