Standards-aligned third-party AI verification, independent badging, and enterprise governance frameworks Founded in 2016, the Responsible AI Institute (RAI Institute) is an independent non-profit providing third-party assurance through its TrustX and OMA verification programs, which are aligned to 17 global standards including ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF, and the EU AI Act.
