The Standard for Ethical AI Certification
The world’s only institution providing a certifiable framework for AI Provenance, Integrity, and Governance.
ATIC establishes the global benchmark for lawful, traceable, and defensible artificial intelligence — beginning at the system itself.
What is ATIC?
The Aston Thomas Integrity Commission is a standards institution that certifies AI systems for integrity, provenance, and governance alignment. ATIC evaluates how organizations uphold responsible development practices and verifies conformance to the Provenance & Integrity Standard. As a governance‑level certification body, ATIC operates above technical inspection and focuses on the governance conditions that make AI lawful, traceable, and defensible. As a specialized body within the standards ecosystem, ATIC provides an authoritative benchmark for AI integrity—establishing the foundation for a new era of responsible intelligence and shaping the standards that future institutions will inevitably follow.
Official Certification Seals of the Aston Thomas Integrity Commission
The SOC‑2, PCI‑DSS, and LEED equivalent for AI.
-
ASIC verifies that an AI system is lawful, traceable, and defensible across its full provenance, from initial sourcing through deployment.
-
AOIC certifies that an organization’s governance, oversight, and operational practices meet ATIC’s institutional standard for responsible AI development and deployment.
-
ASIC‑SF introduces early‑stage and student AI builders to the principles of lawful, traceable, and defensible system design through a streamlined, educational certification pathway.
The Provenance Standard
The Provenance Standard is ATIC’s certification‑focused benchmark for verifying the data, lineage, and dependencies beneath an AI system, establishing the minimum conditions required for it to be lawful, traceable, stable, and defensible. It gives organizations a clear, verifiable structure for demonstrating AI integrity and serves as the foundation for all ATIC certification pathways for AI builders and AI buyers.

Public Declaration for AI Integrity
A global movement to restore trust in the systems shaping our future. The Declaration unites individuals and organizations behind a single principle: AI must be lawful, traceable, and defensible. Signatories join a growing coalition reshaping how AI is built and governed, and organizations may go further as Declaration Hosts, displaying it within their communities and being listed in the Public Declaration Registry for advancing AI integrity worldwide.
