What is the B.I.T. Framework?

The Behavioral Impact Test (B.I.T.) Framework is CAIBS Institute's proprietary methodology for evaluating AI systems. It measures five dimensions: Decision Impact, Actionability, Behavior Change, Accountability, and Real-World Results, producing a total score out of 25 that determines the certification tier.

How much does CAIBS certification cost?

CAIBS certification is offered across five membership tiers: Practitioner ($497/year), Certified ($2,497/year), Certified Plus ($4,997/year), Enterprise ($9,997/year), and Charter ($24,997/year). Each tier includes certification badges, directory listing, and varying levels of support and benefits.

How long does AI certification take?

CAIBS offers a free preliminary AI rating that takes minutes. The full certification process, including the B.I.T. Framework assessment, typically takes 1-2 weeks depending on the complexity of the AI system and the tier selected.

What are the five CAIBS certification tiers?

The five tiers are: CAIBS-1 Content AI (basic content generation tools), CAIBS-2 Interactive AI (conversational and interactive systems), CAIBS-3 Guidance AI (advisory and recommendation engines), CAIBS-4 Impact AI (decision-influencing systems), and CAIBS-5 Behavioral AI (systems that directly shape human behavior).

Is CAIBS certification recognized for EU AI Act compliance?

CAIBS certification provides a structured behavioral assessment that supports EU AI Act compliance efforts. While CAIBS is not a notified body under the EU AI Act, the B.I.T. Framework evaluation produces documentation and evidence that aligns with regulatory requirements for AI governance and transparency.
