AIGN OS Whitepaper

From Principles to Infrastructure: AIGN OS DOI-registered research paper – The World’s Certifiable Operating System for Responsible AI Governance

Now published DOI-registered research paper  – one of the world’s largest academic research networks – this peer-reviewed whitepaper introduces AIGN OS as the first certifiable AI Governance Operating System.
This milestone marks a global breakthrough in how AI governance is implemented: not as checklists, but as deployable, certifiable infrastructure.

  • What This Academic Paper Covers
  • Why the AI governance gap is architectural, not just ethical – and why principles alone can’t scale with AI.
  • The complete 7-layer structure of AIGN OS – from governance roles and processes to certification outputs.
  • Alignment with global regulations and standards – including the EU AI ActISO/IEC 42001OECD AI Principles, and the EU Data Act.
  • A system-level response to fragmented compliance, escalating AI risk, and the urgent need for trust infrastructure.
