Infrastructure of Trust for AI – Guide to Entity Roles and Responsibilities

DESCRIBING THE ROLES IN AN INFRASTRUCTURE OF TRUST FOR AI AND AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS - WE HAVE A MODEL WITH A LONG TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS. FORHUMANITY IS ADAPTING IT FOR AI AND AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS. Background on Independent Audit In 1973, the accounting industry came together and formed The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) which created the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) which still govern financial accounting today. Eventually, the US Securities and Exchange Commission, and other extranational regulatory agencies, required adherence to the GAAP standard for all publicly listed companies. This clarity and uniformity significantly improved the financial world. An infrastructure of trust has been built over the past 50 years because of critical features such as independence, certified practitioners, and third-party rules that are compliant with the law and best practices. Adapting to AI and Autonomous Systems ForHumanity has advocated for the adoption of this infrastructure of trust and explained how it can be adapted and adopted for the Governance, Accountability, and Oversight of AI and Autonomous Systems. We support the creation and mandate of Independent Audit of AI Systems (IAAIS). IAAIS provides a comprehensive solution grounded in the same fundamental principles as Independent Financial Audit. ForHumanity develops and maintains audit and certification criteria designed for a range of industries and jurisdictions.
