Global AI Governance Framework

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

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.


AIGN AI Global  Governance Framework

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

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:

  1. Technical (MLOps, explainability, traceability)
  2. Ethical (redlines, fairness, non-discrimination)
  3. Legal (GDPR, AI Act, DPIAs, liability readiness)
  4. Organizational (strategy, training, auditability)
AIGN Framework

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

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

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

Aligned with leading global standards:

  • EU AI Act (Art. 6, 9, 10, 13, 29)
  • OECD AI Principles
  • UNESCO AI Ethics Guidelines
  • ISO/IEC 42001
  • NIST AI Risk Management Framework
  • GPAI & G7 Hiroshima Process
