An independent standardization body at the intersection of technology, policy, and education — committed to responsible AI governance worldwide.
AIRI is an independent institute dedicated to the development and publication of internationally recognised standards for assessing human competency in the governance, control, and responsible use of artificial intelligence and robotics technologies.
We operate at the intersection of technology, policy, and education — recognising that effective AI governance requires not only technical expertise but also ethical literacy, policy understanding, and a commitment to human-centred values.
Our work is informed by the latest international frameworks, including UNESCO's AI Competency Frameworks, and is designed to be applicable across diverse national and institutional contexts. AIRI does not advocate for any particular technology vendor or political position; our sole mandate is the advancement of responsible AI and robotics governance through principled standardization.
To develop, publish, and promote internationally recognised standards and assessment frameworks that equip individuals, institutions, and governments with the competencies required to govern and control artificial intelligence and robotic systems responsibly.
A world in which every person who governs, deploys, or interacts with AI and robotic systems possesses the knowledge, skills, and values to do so safely, ethically, and effectively — for the benefit of all humanity.
AIRI was established with a mandate to develop global standards for AI and robotics governance and control.
AIRI formally aligned its AI Education standards with UNESCO's AI Competency Frameworks for students and teachers, published in August 2024.
Development of the AI Education Standard commenced, drawing on international frameworks and expert input.
AIRI initiated the research phase for the Robotics Standardization domain, with publication anticipated in due course.
