How we vet companies.

01

Transparency

They must openly disclose how their AI models work, what data they use, and the limitations of their systems.

02

Environmental Impact

Carbon footprint of compute operations must be disclosed, with active commitments to renewable energy use.

03

Fairness & Bias Auditing

Regular third-party bias audits, with results published publicly and meaningful corrective action taken.

04

Human Oversight

AI must augment human decision-making — not fully automate consequential decisions without appropriate human review.
