Building Human-Centered AI Governance at Global Scale
From Global Values to Practical Governance: AIGN Brings the OECD AI Principles to Life
The OECD AI Principles are the first globally endorsed standard for trustworthy AI, adopted by over 46 countries, including all G7 and G20 nations. They set the foundation for building artificial intelligence that is human-centric, fair, transparent, and accountable — across all sectors and societies.
Yet while the principles are widely recognized, most organizations still face a critical challenge:
How do you move from aspirational ethics to measurable implementation?
That’s where the AIGN AI Governance Framework comes in.
Built as a full-stack, operational governance system, AIGN translates the OECD’s soft-law principles into auditable, certifiable, and sector-ready practice — making ethical AI not just a vision, but a verifiable capability.
AIGN closes the implementation gap between soft-law agreements and hard regulatory expectations.
What Are the OECD AI Principles?
The OECD AI Principles, adopted in 2019 by over 46 countries and endorsed by the G7 and G20, represent the first globally agreed-upon framework for trustworthy and human-centric AI.
They define five core principles that organizations must implement to ensure AI serves the public good:
- Inclusive and Human-Centric Values
- Robustness and Safety
- Transparency and Explainability
- Accountability and Responsibility
- Security and Sustainability
While the OECD defines the “why” and “what,” many organizations still lack the systems to implement the “how.”
How the AIGN Framework Operationalizes the OECD Principles
The AIGN AI Governance Framework translates each of the OECD’s five AI Principles into governable, certifiable, and measurable practice.
| OECD Principle | AIGN Module | Delivered Capability |
|---|---|---|
| Human-Centric Values | Ethics-by-Design Toolkit, Stakeholder Mapping | Embedded fairness, equity, and societal impact logic |
| Robustness & Safety | Trust & Capability Indicators, Model Resilience Testing | Measurable security, error resistance, adversarial testing |
| Transparency | Trust Scan, Logging Templates, Explainability Tools | Documented logic chains and traceability for users & auditors |
| Accountability | RACI Role Matrix, Redlining Protocols | Assigned responsibilities, escalation procedures, audit trails |
| Security & Sustainability | Systemic Longevity Model, Environmental Risk Factors | Long-term governance, lifecycle expiry, and sustainability KPIs |
