FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about RAI Institute membership, verification programs, and working groups.

How does my organization engage with RAI Institute?

Through membership. Members get exclusive access to AI governance frameworks and tools, independent verification programs (TrustX and OMA), industry working groups, and co-created thought leadership — all built for enterprises navigating AI at scale.

Do you certify AI systems?

No. RAI Institute verifies, classifies, and independently assesses AI systems against recognized global standards. We issue badges, not certifications.

How is RAI Institute different from IEEE, NIST, or a consultant?

We are the only independent non-profit that provides third-party assurance. Not frameworks you self-apply or custom consulting. We are the standard-setter and the verifier.

Who is RAI Institute membership for?

Enterprise organizations deploying AI at scale, particularly in regulated industries. Membership starts at $50,000/year and is designed for organizations where governance, audit-readiness, and regulatory alignment are strategic priorities.

What do working groups actually involve?

Industry-specific groups (Financial Services, Healthcare, Energy) where member executives shape sector governance standards, share intelligence, and co-create RAI thought leadership. These are peer-level roundtables, not webinars.

What regulations does RAI Institute cover?

EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and more. TrustX is aligned to 17 recognized global standards and is consistently updated.
