A not-for-profit AI advisor & advocate
World AI Governance (WAIG) Foundation is a global not-for-profit organisation. We serve as an independent AI advisor and advocate — not a product vendor — helping governments, academia, civil society, and industry build trustworthy AI through governance, audit, assessment, testing, and certification.
Our Mission
Advance responsible, ethical, and transparent AI as a global not-for-profit — through independent advisory, advocacy, governance, audit, assessment, testing, and certification.
Our Vision
A globally interoperable and human-centric AI governance ecosystem where AI remains safe, accountable, and beneficial for all.
Our Role
WAIG is neither a software vendor nor a commercial consultancy selling products. We provide independent advisory, advocacy, governance support, audit and assessment, testing, and certification readiness — especially ISO/IEC 42001.
