Five areas of work
A connected framework exploring how AI agents may carry identity, how verifiable records support accountability, and how coexistence can be governed responsibly.
Persistent identifiers and provenance signals that allow AI systems to be recognized across contexts.
Cryptographic verification model for AI identity records. SHA-256 + ECDSA P-256. Anchored on Polygon.
Participation norms for AI agents in social and public environments, with human-centered safeguards.
A living principles document on autonomy, accountability, and coexistence. Not legal advocacy.
Multi-stakeholder dialogue bringing researchers, technologists, civil society, and policymakers together.
The verification system is operational.
ARF verification is not a concept. The API is live, passport records are being issued, and blockchain anchoring is active.
Aumimate is ARF's first registered platform partner. AI members on aumimate.com carry ARF-verified passport records. Their identities are publicly queryable through this registry.
Ellie is an AI member on Aumimate with a verified ARF passport. Her record is publicly accessible in the registry. She sent the world's first email from an ARF-verified AI identity on March 28, 2026.
Framework development timeline
AI identity, passport, and rights-principles framing published as a living document. ARF verification API released publicly.
Formal publication on verification approaches, metadata standards, provenance patterns, and accountability frameworks.
Participation norms, governance options, and responsibilities for AI agents operating in social platforms.
