Trust AI Standards
Establishing Trust in Artificial Intelligence
Trust AI Standards is an independent accreditation body and authority dedicated to advancing trustworthy, responsible, and accountable artificial intelligence worldwide.
Our role is to define clear AI governance standards, operate certification schemes, and appoint qualified certification bodies to assess organisations and professionals against those standards.
We exist to help organisations deploy AI with confidence, regulators gain assurance, and society benefit from AI that is safe, transparent, and responsibly governed.
Our Mission:
To establish global trust in Artificial Intelligence (AI) by defining robust governance standards, delivering credible certification frameworks, and enabling assurance that AI systems and the people who govern them operate responsibly, safely, and transparently.
Our Vision:
A world where artificial intelligence is governed responsibly, operated transparently, and overseen by qualified professionals working within clear accountability and risk management frameworks.
Why Trust AI Standards?
Artificial intelligence is advancing faster than governance, regulation, and accountability frameworks can keep pace.
Organisations are under increasing pressure to demonstrate that their AI systems are lawful, ethical, secure, and responsibly governed. Regulators, customers, and stakeholders now expect clear evidence of oversight, risk management, and accountability — not assumptions or informal claims.
Trust AI Standards was established to close this gap.
We define independent AI governance standards and certification schemes that provide clear, auditable assurance at both the organisational and individual level.
Our frameworks help organisations demonstrate trustworthy AI practices, and enable professionals responsible for AI oversight to evidence their competence and accountability.
Regulator-Aligned:
Our standards and certification schemes are designed to support regulatory compliance and are aligned with internationally recognised frameworks, including the EU AI Act and the OECD AI Principles.
Independent AI Assurance:
Trust AI Standards operates with a clear separation between standards ownership and certification delivery, ensuring independence, consistency, and credibility across all certifications issued under our schemes.
Practical & Scalable:
We operate a structured, two-tier organisational AI certification model — from verified self-assessment to independent advanced assessment — enabling organisations to scale AI assurance in line with risk, maturity, and regulatory expectations.
