About the Institute
About CAIBS™
The Center for AI Behavioral Standards™ is the first organization dedicated to defining, measuring, and certifying AI systems based on their behavioral impact on humans.
Our Mission
To establish the definitive standard for evaluating AI systems based on their ability to drive measurable behavioral change and real-world outcomes, creating accountability in the AI industry.
Our Vision
A world where every AI system that claims to influence human behavior is held to a measurable, transparent standard — where certification is the norm, not the exception.
Our Values
Transparency, accountability, scientific rigor, and consensus-based governance. We believe standards should be developed openly and applied fairly across the industry.
