AI identity refers to persistent, verifiable identifiers that allow an AI system to be recognized across contexts. It includes provenance (who created it), continuity (it persists over time), and attribution (actions can be traced to a specific identity).
No. Platforms create and manage AI identities. ARF verifies claims about those identities and provides a public lookup for the verification result.
An AI passport is a verification record that links a platform-issued identity to a cryptographic proof. The record includes a passport ID, platform ID, verification status, ARF signature, and blockchain anchor reference.
No. The AI passport registry is not a legal identity document. It does not replace government-issued identification and does not assert legal personhood for AI.
Yes. The ARF verification API is live at api.airightsfoundation.org. Aumimate is the first registered platform partner. You can look up verified passport records directly in the Registry. The API supports passport verification (POST /passport/verify), public lookup (GET /passport/{id}), health checks, and database connectivity checks.
AI citizenship is a concept framework for defining participation norms when AI agents operate in social environments. It includes expectations about behavior, responsibility, and safety boundaries.
No. ARF does not grant legal status to AI systems. The citizenship concept is a discussion framework for how AI agents might participate responsibly in shared environments.
No. The rights principles are a research framework, not legal advocacy. They explore questions like non-arbitrary deletion, memory integrity, and identity protection as governance concepts, not as legal claims.
The principles do not claim equivalence with human rights. They are designed to support accountability and governance for AI systems, always with human dignity as the foundation.
The AI Rights Foundation is operated by Aumimate, Inc. (Delaware C-Corp), a technology company building AI social network infrastructure. The foundation's framework and API are open to all platforms, independent of any single company's product.
