Abstract

A vendor saying trust us, our artificial intelligence is safe and governed is worth nothing if you cannot verify it. From the responsible artificial intelligence pledges of this year to the breaches that exposed them, the lesson is the same: trust is a systems property. The Open Audit Record replaces declared trust with a record a third party can verify offline, without trusting the vendor.Originally published at https://mickai.co.uk/articles/trust-is-demonstrated-not-declared. Mickai is a Sovereign Intelligence Operating System; the Open Audit Record signs every artificial intelligence action before it executes, post-quantum and offline-verifiable. 101 filed UK patent applications, Mickai LTD (Companies House 17166618).
