The certifiable, strategic, and fully operational AI governance system for global implementation.
Trusted by Experts. Built for Action. Available Now. Artificial Intelligence is no longer an experiment — it is global infrastructure. It powers economies, governments, education, and daily life — in real time and at scale. But as AI capabilities accelerate, so must our ability to govern them. We need frameworks that don’t just check boxes — but build trust, ensure responsibility, and scale with innovation. The AIGN Framework for Responsible AI Governance is the world’s first fully operational governance system that goes beyond compliance — integrating ethics, risk foresight, technical governance, and strategic readiness into a single, applicable model.
Already aligned with international standards like the EU AI Act, OECD AI Principles, and NIST AI RMF, the AIGN Framework bridges the global gap between ambition and implementation – from ministries in Africa to universities in Asia.
The AIGN Framework for Responsible AI Governance is the first end-to-end operational system that integrates:
- Ethical principles
- Technical governance
- Legal compliance
- Risk foresight
- Organizational capability
Governance must not chase innovation. It must lead it.
— Patrick Upmann, Founder of AIGN
Why AI Governance Matters Now
AI is shaping the future — but without governance, it risks doing so without consent, control, or accountability.
- Governance models are reactive, fragmented, or non-operational
- The AI Act and other laws require technical and organizational implementation
- Many institutions lack maturity tools, role clarity, and audit mechanisms
That’s where AIGN comes in: turning trust into structure and principles into systems.

Why AIGN?
More than a Framework – A Global Governance Ecosystem
AIGN combines:
- A legally protected, license-based framework
- A global expert and partner network across 5 continents
- Alignment with the EU AI Act, OECD, NIST RMF, ISO/IEC 42001
- A certified toolset: Trust Scan, RACI Models, Capability Maps
- A training, certification, and audit ecosystem
Inside the AIGN Framework
Core Architecture:
- Trust & Capability Indicators – to measure AI governance maturity
- Governance Domains – from risk to responsibility
- Maturity Model (5 Levels) – for scalable organizational growth
- Certification Logic – with optional external audits
- RACI Role Model – who governs what, and how
Four Governance Dimensions:
- Technical (MLOps, explainability, traceability)
- Ethical (redlines, fairness, non-discrimination)
- Legal (GDPR, AI Act, DPIAs, liability readiness)
- Organizational (strategy, training, auditability)
Tools Included in the Framework

Certification Pathways
The AIGN Framework supports:
- AI Readiness Check
- Trust Label Certification
- Agentic AI Verified (for goal-setting, self-learning systems)
- Platinum Label (for fully audited and peer-reviewed systems)
All certifications:
- Use AIGN maturity & capability models
- Are listed in the AIGN Global Registry
- Can be used for internal governance, public transparency, or compliance readiness
Sustainability & Global Inclusion
Governance must be:
- Sustainable – aligned with ESG, CSRD, and ethical sourcing
- Inclusive – modular for small orgs, scalable for governments
- Flexible – adaptable across jurisdictions, sectors, and tech maturity
Built for Real-World Application
AIGN is planing already being applied in:
- African ministries
- EU-regulated corporations
- Indian scale-ups
- South Korean universities
- Global NGOs and trust coalitions
Use cases include:
- High-risk system readiness (EU AI Act)
- Procurement audits
- Public sector algorithmic transparency
- AI governance training and onboarding
- Red teaming and incident simulation
Global Alignment
