About IEEE CertifAIEd

IEEE CertifAIEd^TM is a certification program for assessing ethics of Autonomous Intelligent Systems (AIS) to help organizations to implement Trustworthy AI systems and obtain certification, which represents a committment for the delivery of trustworthy and ethical AIS to their users and customers.

Through certification guidance, assessment and independent verification, IEEE CertifAIEd offers the ability to scale responsible innovation implementations, thereby helping to increase the quality of AIS, the associated trust with key stakeholders, and realizing associated benefits. 

IEEE Authorized Assessors help guide organizations through a thorough review and examination of their AIS to determine its ethical risk and reward profile and conformance with relevant ethical criteria. 

After an IEEE Authorized Certifier performs an independent review and verification of the successful assessment, a certificate, and mark are granted.

The IEEE CertifAIEd Mark helps organizations demonstrate that they are addressing transparency, accountability, algorithmic bias, and privacy aspects, needed to build trust in their AIS. The mark:

• affirms an organization’s commitment to uphold human values, dignity, and well-being, and to respect, protect and preserve fundamental human rights.
• conveys an AIS’s capability to fulfill applicable requirements stipulated in the appropriate suite of criteria, fosters trust, and facilitates the adoption of AI.
• enhances confidence in public and private enterprises in the absence of or as a complement to broadly accepted and enforced regulations for AI.

Whatever an organization’s role in the development and delivery of AIS, it stands to gain from the responsible innovation-driven, human-centric, independent IEEE CertifAIEd assessment, certification, and mark.
